Amanece Lyrics in English by Anuel Aa, Haze
Odisea directly translates to "Odyssey", referencing the epic poem about a long, adventurous journey. It's a very dramatic and literary word that you wouldn't typically expect to find in a reggaeton song.
Anuel sings, "Tú me tienes en una odisea" (You have me in an odyssey), using it as a powerful metaphor. He's describing his romantic situation as a difficult, complicated, and seemingly endless journey, showing just how lost and consumed he feels by the relationship.
Late-night calls hit different, especially when you're dialing someone who is already seeing someone else. Puerto Rican artist Anuel AA teams up with producer Haze for "Amanece" (which means until dawn or daybreak), and he does not hold back. Right from the jump, he admits his routine: "Siempre te llamo de madrugá'" ["I always call you in the early morning"]. He knows she has a boyfriend ("Yo sé que tú tienes un novio"), he openly admits he despises the guy ("Y tú sabes que yo lo odio"), and his solution is simple: stay tangled up together until the sun comes up. He begs her, "Quédate en lo que amanece" ["Stay while dawn breaks"], wanting to lose track of time ("nos olvidamo' de la hora") behind closed doors.
Anuel delivers his usual bold lines, calling her a "diabla" ["devil"] who manipulates him and a "bandolera" ["outlaw" or "gangster girl"]. He also throws in a cheeky pop-culture nod to a massive reggaeton hit with "como Becky G sin pijama" ["like Becky G with no pajamas"], referencing her famous track "Sin Pijama." It is blunt, messy, and heavy on desire. He tells her straight up to go confess to her partner: "dile que tú le mientes y que yo vivo en tu mente" ["tell him that you lie to him and that I live in your mind"]. No excuses, just late-night temptation in full swing.
