Una Lady Como Tú Lyrics in English by Manuel Turizo
Erizarte comes from the verb erizar, which literally means 'to make stand on end' or 'to bristle'. In the song, Manuel Turizo sings "Cantarte al oído y ver tu piel al erizarte", which translates to "Sing in your ear and see your skin get goosebumps".
It's a beautifully descriptive and intimate word that captures a powerful physical reaction to romance or music. Learning this word helps you express a specific feeling that goes beyond just saying something is exciting or beautiful.
Colombian singer Manuel Turizo brings an old-school romantic charm straight to a smooth reggaeton rhythm in "Una Lady Como Tú". Right from the start, he knows his crush is dealing with heartbreak from an ex who didn't appreciate her: "Sé que hubo otro que no supo valorar lo que tenías para dar" ("I know there was another who didn't appreciate what you had to give"). His reaction isn't to play it cool. Instead, he goes all in with grand romantic promises, declaring that he is looking for a true "lady" and vows "a casa enviarte flores y en tu nombre escribir mil canciones de amores" ("to send flowers to your house and write a thousand love songs in your name"). In the chorus, he uses the informal contraction "pa'" (short for para, meaning "so that" or "in order to") when singing "pa' que pienses en mí" ("so that you think of me"), which is everyday spoken Spanish you will hear all the time.
He is completely honest about his intentions, too. Turizo jumps between classic romance like "una estrella traerte, hasta el cielo bajarte" ("bring you a star, bring down the sky for you") and direct, unfiltered attraction: "Sueño con tocarte, quitarte la ropa" ("I dream of touching you, taking off your clothes"). He even catches himself being bold and adds the line, "No confundas mi intención por decir cosas locas" ("Don't confuse my intentions for saying crazy things"). It balances late-night flirting with sweet, earnest devotion, showing someone ready to talk until sunrise ("hablar juntos hasta el amanecer") to heal a broken heart and win over the woman he wants.
