Caprichosa invites us into a fiery tug-of-war between two lovers who are equally headstrong and irresistibly drawn to each other. Chayanne sings about a relationship full of whims, where each partner calls the other their “capricho” – a guilty pleasure they cannot quit. One moment they accuse each other of giving “contraband love,” the next they confess that this very unpredictability is what keeps the passion blazing. From comparing her to a desert flame and himself to the thirst that needs quenching, the lyrics paint a picture of desire that hurts so good, a “dulce veneno” (sweet poison) both of them are eager to taste.
Under the playful chorus “Caprichosa eres tú, caprichoso soy yo,” the song celebrates the idea that love does not always follow reason. It is a dance of equal forces, two mirrors reflecting the same stubborn spark. Their romance might refuse to “sign a peace treaty,” yet neither partner truly wants the war to end, because the heat of their caprice is exactly what makes them feel alive. The result is an upbeat, energetic anthem that turns mutual mischief into pure musical chemistry.
