si antes te hubiera conocido karol g lyrics
Original Lyrics
English
[Intro]
What's up?
We're feeling great
The summer has started
Fire
[Chorus]
What would have been
If I had met you before?
Surely you would be dancing this one with me
Not as friends
[Post-Chorus]
But as something else
You being nearby makes me dangerous
For a little kiss, I'll do anything
Your girlfriend makes me jealous, and although she's pretty
Hey!
[Pre-Chorus]
She's not gonna treat you like me
She's not gonna kiss you like me
She's not as sexy as me
She's shy and I'm not
With these desires that I have
I might dare to get with both of you
Today you're hanging out with her
But, mmm, later maybe not

[Chorus]
What would have been
If I had met you before?
Surely you would be dancing this one with me
Not as friends, hey
What would have been
If I would have met you before?
Surely you would be dancing this one with me
Not as friends, hey!
[Verse]
And I see you and I don't know how to act
Baby, to conquer you, they need to pass me the manual
I'll wait for as long as I need to, I'm not gonna leave
I have faith that those eyes one day are going to look at me
I'd marry you
My name sounds good with your last name
I'm waiting for you to let your guard down
To present you as my husband
I'd marry you
My name sounds good with your last name
I'm waiting for you to let your guard down
To present you as my husband
You haven't understood that
[Pre-Chorus]
She's not gonna treat you like me
She's not gonna kiss you like me
She's not as sexy as me
She's shy and I'm not
With these desires that I have
I might dare to get with both of you
Today you're hanging out with her
But (Mmm), later maybe not
[Chorus]
What would have been
If I had met you before? (Hey, how?)
Surely you would be dancing this with me
Not as friends, no, no, no
[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey
(What would have been)
(If I had met you before?)
Chiqui-cha, chiqui-cha, chiqui-cha, chiqui-cha (Haha, ah)

[Intro]
¿Qué tal?
Nos sentimos genial
El verano ha comenzado
Fuego
[Coro]
¿Qué hubiera sido
Si te hubiera conocido antes?
Seguramente estarías bailando esta conmigo
No como amigos
[Post-Coro]
Sino como algo más
Tenerte cerca me hace peligrosa
Por un besito, haría cualquier cosa
Tu novia me da celos, y aunque es bonita
¡Hey!
[Pre-Coro]
Ella no te va a tratar como yo
Ella no te va a besar como yo
No es tan sexy como yo
Ella es tímida y yo no
Con estos deseos que tengo
Podría atreverme a estar con los dos
Hoy sales con ella
Pero, mmm, luego quizás no
[Coro]

[Verso]
Y te veo y no sé cómo actuar
Bebé, para conquistarte, necesitan pasarme el manual
Esperaré el tiempo que sea necesario, no me voy a ir
Tengo fe que esos ojos algún día me van a mirar
Me casaría contigo
Mi nombre suena bien con tu apellido
Espero que bajes la guardia
Para presentarte como mi esposo
Me casaría contigo
Mi nombre suena bien con tu apellido
Espero que bajes la guardia
Para presentarte como mi esposo
No lo has entendido
[Pre-Coro]
Ella no te va a tratar como yo
Ella no te va a besar como yo
No es tan sexy como yo
Ella es tímida y yo no
Con estos deseos que tengo
Podría atreverme a estar con los dos
Hoy sales con ella
Pero (Mmm), luego quizás no

Karol G uses vivid imagery and metaphors to express her longing, particularly in lines like 'Your girlfriend makes me jealous, and although she's pretty' and 'My name sounds good with your last name.'
