SI NO ES CONTIGO Lyrics in English by Cris MJ

Rehén literally translates to "hostage". It's a dramatic and intense word that you don't typically find in a love song, making it very unique.

In the song, the singer says, "Tómame de rehén" (Take me hostage), using it as a powerful metaphor. He's asking his love to completely captivate him, showing a deep sense of surrender and passion. This isn't about a literal kidnapping, but about being willingly "captured" by love.

Chilean hitmaker Cris MJ jumps straight to the point in this reggaeton track: he is head over heels and does not want anyone else. The chorus hits you with the bold claim, "Si no es contigo, amor / Yo no quiero a nadie más" ("If it's not with you, my love / I don't want anyone else"), instantly followed by an impulsive proposal: "Mamita, casémonos / Qué rico te queda ese pijama" ("Baby, let's get married / That pajama looks so good on you"). It is playful, fast-paced, and wildly blunt about his infatuation, mixing big romantic promises with casual bedroom compliments.

Throughout the track, he shows his affection by treating her to luxury items, promising "le compro Bottega" ("I'll buy her Bottega", referring to the high-end Italian fashion house Bottega Veneta) and buying bouquets worth over three hundred with the scent of luxury perfume ("Son más de tres cien con olor a Chanel" / "They are more than three hundred with a Chanel scent"). He packs the track with urban slang, hyping her up as "la más dura de mi city" ("the baddest in my city") and "riqui" (short for "riquísima", meaning super attractive). When he asks her to "fléchame" ("strike me with an arrow", like Cupid), he makes it clear he is happily trapped by her charm.
