¿A Dónde Vas? Lyrics in English Jarabe De Palo , La Shica, Ximena Sariñana

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song ¿A Dónde Vas? by Jarabe De Palo from Spanish to English.
Where are you going?
With your new dress
Where are you going?
With that sway
Where are you going?
I like what I see
Where are you going?
What are you on about, animal, with that desperation?
Don't rush, kid, seduce me first
You're doing it really bad, keep your money
I don't want a proper boy, I'm looking for a sailor
Someone that knows how to conquer me
Someone that makes me fall in love again
Someone that truly loves me
Where are you going?
Let's talk first
Where are you going?
I'm going to be honest with you
Where are you going?
I want to invite you and then
Where are you going?
I'm going to give you another chance again
It'll be better, boy, that you treat me with care
Don't ask me anymore
You've already told me the story
Go carefully, kid, I look for a sailor
Someone that wants to caress me
Someone that interests me again
Someone that truly loves me
Someone that knows how to convince me
Someone that'll have something to offer
Someone that drives me crazy
Where are you going?
I'm going to be honest with you
You're doing it really bad, seduce me first
Where are you going?
I like you hopelessly
Don't rush, kid, I'm looking for a sailor
Someone that knows how to conquer me
Someone that makes me fall in love again
Someone that truly loves me
Someone that wants to caress me
Someone that interests me again
Someone that truly loves me

SONG MEANING

¿A Dónde Vas? spins a lively, back-and-forth flirtation on a crowded dance floor. The man, dazzled by a woman’s new dress and hypnotic sway, tries the usual tricks: compliments, money, and haste. She fires back with wit and confidence, making it crystal clear that flashy wallets and empty promises will not win her over. The rhythm’s playful groove mirrors this cat-and-mouse chase, while the alternating voices of Jarabe De Palo, La Shica, and Ximena Sariñana turn the dialogue into a mini-theater of seduction.

What is she looking for? Not a “chico formal” but a marinero – a free-spirited sailor who can navigate the storms of her heart with patience, tenderness, and genuine passion. Her repeated checklist (“Alguien que me sepa conquistar… que me haga enloquecer”) flips the traditional script, putting the woman in charge of her own romance. The result is a fun yet empowering anthem that reminds learners that real connection is about respect, time, and authenticity, not hurried pick-up lines.
