Arena Lyrics in English by Beéle, Carla Morrison
Croqui' is a cool, modern slang term for croquis, which means "a sketch" or "a rough draft". It's a word borrowed from French that's popular in creative fields, like fashion or architecture.
In the song, Beele sings, "a por el resto de nuestras vidas le tenemos un croqui'" (for the rest of our lives, we have a sketch). This is a tender and unique way to describe their future together, not as a rigid contract, but as a beautiful, informal plan—a work in progress. This word perfectly captures the song's relaxed and romantic vibe.
In "Arena", Colombian artist Beéle teams up with Mexican singer Carla Morrison for a breezy reggaeton track about finding a love that feels predestined. Right from the start, the romance is set against beachy imagery with the line "Tu nombre y mi nombre escritos en la arena" (Your name and my name written in the sand). The lyrics skip the slow burn entirely. One moment Carla sings "Viví sin calma y luego yo te vi" (I lived without peace and then I saw you), and by the next line, she wants to pack her bags, skip ahead in time, and move straight into her lover's arms ("Quise mudarme a tus brazos / Irme al futuro y fugarnos").
Beéle brings in casual Latin American slang to make the devotion feel lived-in and real. He drops the word "cora" (a friendly shortcut for corazón, meaning 'heart') and jokes that he is ready for whatever happens ("El mío a cualquier vaina se somete", meaning his heart will put up with anything). He even mentions having a "croqui'"—short for croquis, a rough sketch or floor plan—ready for the rest of their lives together. Between playful slang like "nos pasamos el cuchi" (being sweet and affectionate in public) and promises carved into the shore where not even the sea can wash them away, the track turns total romantic surrender into something sweet and upbeat.
