Robarte Un Beso Lyrics in English by Carlos Vives, Sebastian Yatra

Vallenato is a popular genre of folk music from Colombia, and the signature style of artist Carlos Vives. It's a word you won't find in a typical Spanish textbook, making it a unique gem to learn!

In the song, he sings about a kiss that reaches the soul, "Como un vallenato de esos viejos que nos gustaban" (Like one of those old vallenatos that we used to like). This beautiful comparison links the feeling of a perfect kiss to the nostalgia and deep emotion of a beloved, classic song, adding a rich layer of cultural meaning.

Have you ever waited years to tell someone how you feel? Colombian star Carlos Vives and Sebastián Yatra team up on "Robarte Un Beso" to sing about that exact frustration. The song kicks off with a blunt confession: "Son muchos años que pasaron sin decir te quiero" ("Many years went by without saying I love you"). The singer admits that every time he was close, he froze up, lost the words, and stayed quiet. Now, he is tired of overthinking and decides that if words fail, a sudden kiss will do the talking, joking that "por esa boca no me importa ser ladrón" ("for that mouth, I don't mind being a thief").

The track leans into traditional Colombian folk with its cheerful Vallenato style, and the lyrics even give a nod to the genre itself. The singer asks for a kiss that reaches deep down "como un vallenato de esos viejos que nos gustaban" ("like one of those old vallenatos we used to love"). It is a fun, lighthearted plea to stop hiding the truth, especially when both people already know the spark is there: "Sé que sientes mariposas, yo también sentí sus alas" ("I know you feel butterflies, I felt their wings too"). Turn up the volume, dance along, and see if you can catch those romantic lines!
