Sobredosis Lyrics in English by Romeo Santos, Ozuna
Sobredosis is a direct cognate of the English word "overdose". It's a powerful and dramatic word that immediately sets the intense tone for this bachata hit.
Romeo Santos and Ozuna use this term as the song's central metaphor for an overwhelming, all-consuming passion that feels almost dangerously addictive. The song describes a "sobredosis de sexo" (overdose of sex), using this strong imagery to express a level of desire and pleasure that is beyond all limits. It's a perfect example of the passionate and evocative storytelling often found in bachata music.
Romeo Santos and Ozuna hold absolutely nothing back in "Sobredosis", a bachata track that compares physical passion to an uncontrollable addiction. The title means "overdose," and the central fantasy is as dramatic as it gets: both singers literally proclaim they would gladly die tied to a lover's bed from an overload of pleasure ("Sobredosis de sexo" [Overdose of sex]). Romeo leans into over-the-top, cheeky worship, calling his partner "el pecado más divino una víbora sexual" [the most divine sin, a sexual viper] and claiming her waist moves so provocatively that it would be censored on sight.
When Ozuna jumps in, he takes the drama up a notch with legal and school metaphors. He begs to be a student in her "escuelita" [little school] to take lessons in pleasure, and jokes that he would happily serve a thousand years in prison if being with her counted as a crime ("Si estar contigo es un delito / Hago mil años en prisión"). He also uses Caribbean slang when he calls himself "bellaquito" (a playful diminutive of bellaco, meaning sexually excited or mischievous) paired with a partner he describes as pure provocation. It is wildly theatrical, unabashedly lustful bachata where both artists compete to see who can surrender completely to their desires.
