Muévelo Lyrics Translation – Kali Uchis
Kali Uchis advises dismissing unwanted interactions through rhythmic defiance: ‘The music’s too loud, I can’t hear you.’ Her lyrics counter sadness with movement directives, pairing ‘Update, ma’ with waist-focused choreography. The declaration ‘none of them are me’ rejects comparison culture through precise physical imagery.
No Seas Así You Know You Love MeDon’t be like that, you know you love me.
No Seas Así You Know You Love MeDon’t be like that, you know you love me.
Encerra’ En Tu Cuarto Solo Quieres LlorarLocked in your room, you just want to cry,
Baby Salte Conmigo Vámonos A BailarBaby, come out with me, let’s go dancing.
Y Si Un Asqueroso Viene Y Empieza A HablarAnd if some creep comes and starts to talk,
Dile “La Música Está Fuerte No Te Puedo Escuchar” MamiTell him, “The music’s too loud, I can’t hear you,” mami.
Actualiza Ma ActualizaUpdate, ma, update.
Ese Cuerpo Uy Qué DeliciaThat body, ugh, what a delight.
Muévelo Como Que Nadie Está AcáMove it like nobody’s here,
Mueve Esa Cintura Mi ShakiraMove that waist, my Shakira.
Actualiza Ma ActualizaUpdate, ma, update.
Ese Cuerpo Uy Qué DeliciaThat body, ugh, what a delight.
Muévelo Como Que Nadie Está AcáMove it like nobody’s here,
Mueve Esa Cintura Mi ShakiraMove that waist, my Shakira.
Empowerment drives these lyrics about reclaiming social spaces. English translations of ‘Muévelo’ reveal tactical confidence-building through dance. Kali Uchis frames nightlife as training ground for self-possession against detractors.
