Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fruta Fresca by Carlos Vives from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

That kiss from your mouth

That tastes like fresh fruit to me

Verse 1

That slipped from your lips

And got into my head

Verse 1

That kiss I dream of

When sorrows stalk me

Verse 1

That takes me to heaven itself

And brings me back to earth

Verse 1

And that prays, prays, prays

And even though it has no cure anymore

Verse 1

That the memory of those kisses

Drives me to madness

Chorus 1

Yes, yes, yes

That this love is so deep

Chorus 1

That you are my favorite

And that the whole world knows it

Chorus 1

Yes, yes, yes

That this love is so deep

Chorus 1

That you are my favorite

And that the whole world knows it

Verse 2

That you are my favorite

The little girl of my eyes

Verse 2

The one that sweetens my life

The one that calms my anger

Verse 2

The one that gets prettier

When I take her to a party

Verse 2

The one who always in my bed

Lies down with the angels

Chorus 2

Yes, yes, yes

That this love is so deep

Chorus 2

That you are my favorite

And that the whole world knows it

Chorus 2

Yes, yes, yes

That this love is so deep

Chorus 2

That you are my favorite

And that the whole world knows it

Verse 3

And that they say on the radio

That I truly love you

Verse 3

That they say it in the papers

And later in the soap opera

Verse 3

And on a sign that says

That there’s nobody like you

Verse 3

That they say it in China

That they say it on the moon

Chorus 3

Yes, yes, yes

That this love is so deep

Chorus 3

That you are my favorite

And that the whole world knows it

Chorus 3

Yes, yes, yes

That this love is so deep

Chorus 3

That you are my favorite

And that the whole world knows it

Bridge

Don’t forget me because I won’t forget you

Chorus 4

Yes, yes, yes

That this love is so deep

Chorus 4

That you are my favorite

And that the whole world knows it

Chorus 4

Yes, yes, yes

That this love is so deep

Chorus 4

That you are my favorite

And that the whole world knows it

SONG MEANING

“Fruta Fresca” is Carlos Vives’s joyful love letter to a kiss so sweet it tastes like fresh fruit. In lively vallenato-pop fashion, he compares his beloved’s lips to tropical flavors that invade his mind, lift him to the sky, then gently bring him back to earth. Whenever worries creep in, the memory of that kiss is his instant remedy, sending him into a delicious spell of happiness and just a touch of playful madness.

But Vives doesn’t want to keep this sweetness a secret — he wants the whole planet to hear it on the radio, read it in the papers, even see it written on the moon. Repeating “sí, sí, sí”, he declares that his love is “tan profundo” — so deep — and calls her “mi consentida”, the special one who brightens his life, calms his anger, and dazzles every party. It’s an infectious celebration of romance, Caribbean sabor, and the simple magic of a kiss that tastes like the freshest fruit you’ve ever bitten into.
