Ven Devórame Otra Vez is a sizzling salsa confession from Puerto Rican icon Lalo Rodríguez. In it, the singer admits that every fling, every fantasy and even his dreams have been haunted by one unforgettable lover. No matter how many aventuras he tries to squeeze into his “empty time,” nothing compares to her wild, all-consuming passion. Sheets are soaked with longing, his mouth still “tastes” her skin, and he pleads for her to return and “devour” him once more.
Beneath the dance-floor energy, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of raw desire, nostalgia and the search for irreplaceable intimacy. It is both a love song and a sensual outcry: the narrator has saved all his strength, his vigor, for the woman who once “drew” every inch of his body with her touch. That mix of aching vulnerability and unapologetic sensuality turned the track into a timeless salsa classic—one that makes you want to dance, sing and maybe text that ex you still dream about.
