Verse 1

She stands out when she walks

She's making an impression

Every day when she gets up

She shines like the sun

Her silk dress

It warms my heart

Like in a novel

On television

Chorus 1

I approach you

Or: I'm coming closer to you

Let's dance, let's play, come closer

Because my waist needs your help

I don't have it in my veins

Or: I'm not naturally talented at it

And I can't control it

I think that my waist

It clashes with my culture

I stumble on the sand

I can't control myself anymore

And going down, going down, forgetting, forgetting

That I'm dancing dancing

And like this until dawn

Because my waist needs your help

I don't have it in my veins

I'm going to learn to control, my waist, waist

Verse 2

Why don't we go down to the beach

To practice

Or: In order to practice

Early in the morning

And so there's nobody else

When I dance with you

Your body gives me warmth

Little kiss by little kiss

My passion fruit

In Spanish passion fruit is called 'maracuyá' or 'fruta de la pasión'

Chorus 2

I approach you

Let's dance, let's play, come closer

Because my waist needs your help

I don't have it in my veins

And I can't control it

And going down, going down, forgetting, forgetting

That I'm dancing dancing

And like this until dawn

Because my waist needs your help

I don't have it in my veins

I'm going to learn to control, my waist, waist

Verse 3

Come toward me, come toward me

Like the waves of the sea

Come toward me, come toward me

That I can't stop anymore

Come toward me, come toward me

Like the waves of the sea

Come to me, I can't stop anymore

Chorus 3

And going down, going down, forgetting, forgetting

That I'm dancing dancing

And like this until dawn

Because my waist needs your help

I don't have it in my veins

I'm going to learn to control

And going down, going down, forgetting, forgetting

That I'm dancing dancing

And like this until dawn, my waist, waist

SONG MEANING

La Cintura is a sun-kissed pop anthem in which Spanish singer Álvaro Soler playfully confesses one simple truth: his hips have a mind of their own. From the very first lines he paints a picture of a dazzling dancer whose mere walk turns heads and heats up hearts “como el sol.” Fascinated, he moves closer and invites her to dance, only to realize that controlling his own cintura (waist) is a hilarious struggle. The song turns that clumsy feeling into a celebration, pairing catchy tropical beats with vivid beach imagery to show that rhythm is less about perfection and more about letting go.

As the night stretches “hasta el amanecer,” Soler’s lyrics mix flirtation, fun, and self-deprecating humor: he trips on the sand, blames his culture for stiff hips, and begs his partner for help while promising to learn. The music mirrors that carefree vibe, encouraging listeners to laugh at their missteps, sway like waves, and embrace the joyful freedom that comes from dancing with someone who makes you shine. By the end, “La Cintura” is more than a dance request – it is an invitation to feel good in your own skin and let the rhythm do the talking.
