La Mordidita Lyrics in English by Ricky Martin, Yotuel

Mordidita literally translates to "a little bite" or "a nibble". It's the diminutive form of the word mordida (bite), using the common -ita suffix in Spanish to make something sound smaller, cuter, or more affectionate.

In this high-energy song, the word is used to describe a playful and flirtatious kiss. The phrase "una mordidita de tu boquita" (a little bite from your little mouth) is a cheeky and memorable line that perfectly captures the song's fun, sensual, and tropical vibe.

Puerto Rican pop star Ricky Martin teams up with Cuban artist Yotuel for an irresistible, sweat-soaked party track about pure physical temptation. Right from the opening bell, he clocks out of the work week—trading in his suit for what he calls "lujuria salvaje" (wild lust)—and heads straight onto the dance floor. The central hook revolves around begging for "una mordidita de tu boquita" (a little bite of your little mouth). He uses the classic biblical temptation as cheeky logic to justify giving in: "Si Dios puso la manzana fue para morder" (If God put the apple there, it was to take a bite). So naturally, the only answer is to stay up and sin together wrapped up until dawn.

The lyrics treat attraction like an all-out feast, describing lips as a crunchy bite, rich cake, tequila, and honey. When Yotuel jumps in, the tempo gets frantic, comparing the urge to nibble on his partner to turning into a crazed vampire ("estoy vampiro bien demente"). You also get great coastal slang with "la marea esta picaita'," which literally means the tide is choppy or rough, but on a dance floor, it means the party is heating up, getting wild, and ready to boil over.
