LA FREAK Lyrics in English by Paloma Mami, Rauw Alejandro
Dragona is the feminine form of dragón (dragon), literally meaning "female dragon" or "dragoness". It's a rare and powerful word that you won't find in many songs.
In "LA FREAK", Paloma Mami uses this metaphor to portray herself as a fierce, mythical, and dominant figure in her relationship. When she sings, "Que soy tu dragona, mi cuello es sinfín" (I'm your dragoness, my neck is endless), she creates a vivid image of a powerful, larger-than-life woman, making it a very memorable and exciting word to learn.
"LA FREAK" is all about staying locked inside a bedroom long past sunrise. Chilean-American singer Paloma Mami and Rauw Alejandro turn up the heat so much that they call the bed a sauna: "Tú y yo en la cama es como un sauna" ("You and me in bed is like a sauna"). There is zero hesitation or shyness here. Paloma openly drops all inhibitions with the line "Me saca' la freak" ("You bring out the freak in me"), balancing an innocent face with street attitude when she brags about having a "Carita de princesa, maldita a lo ShiShi" ("Princess face, badass like a ShiShi"). The slang ShiShi comes straight from the Chilean urban street movement started by rapper Pablo Chill-E, pointing to a tough, rebellious edge behind that pretty smile.
The energy stays completely unfiltered. Paloma jokes that her partner "No es Pablo Picasso y me pinta las titties" ("He's no Pablo Picasso and he paints my breasts"), before demanding that he keep the lights on so they can look straight at each other like "El Zorro y su máscara" ("Zorro and his mask"). Rauw matches her pace, recounting how they spent an entire rainy day tangled up in bed together ("Anoche llovió y todo el día en la cama estuvimos" ["Last night it rained and we spent all day in bed"]). It is bold, sticky, and completely direct about two people matching each other's wild sides.
