Escápate Lyrics in English by Tito El Bambino, Zion
Disfraces literally means “costumes” or “disguises,” but in the line “Conmigo no existen disfraces” (“With me, there are no disguises”), it means emotional masks or pretenses. This vivid metaphor suggests that the relationship is honest and uninhibited, making it a memorable word to learn from the song.
Tito El Bambino, an artist from Puerto Rico, joins Zion for a playful, secretive invitation. The singer asks a woman to leave with him, even though she is with someone else: “Escápate, vente conmigo” [“Sneak away, come with me”]. He tells her to say they are only friends, while the repeated line “Dile que nosotros no somos amantes” [“Tell him we are not lovers”] makes the deception very clear. The word escápate means “escape” or “sneak away,” and dile means “tell him or her.” Together, they make the chorus sound like a tempting message sent in secret.
The verses describe a private connection that feels different when she is with him. He says, “Conmigo no existen disfraces” [“With me, there are no disguises”], then invites her to meet him at the corner or in the club, where they can act as they usually do. The line “Cuéntale lo que quieras, menos lo que hacemos” [“Tell him whatever you want, except what we do”] is blunt and a little funny because the secret is the whole point. Later, “Darte cariñito por todas tus partes” [“Give you affection all over”] turns the invitation openly sensual. Mami is a flirtatious word like “baby,” disco means nightclub, and la gente del Patrón refers to the group named in the song’s shout-outs. With its repeated escape plan and mischievous excuses, the song presents romance as a risky night out full of attraction, secrecy, and confidence.
