La Cintura [Remix] Lyrics in English by Álvaro Soler, Flo Rida, TINI
Tropiezo comes from the verb tropezar, which means to trip or stumble in a clumsy way.
In this song, Álvaro Soler playfully admits he isn't a naturally gifted dancer, singing, "Tropiezo con la arena" (I trip on the sand). He uses this highly visual word to confess his lack of rhythm, making it a hilarious and relatable moment for anyone who struggles on the dance floor!
Spanish singer Álvaro Soler teams up with Flo Rida and Argentine singer TINI for a sun-soaked remix that starts with an unusually honest confession: he cannot dance to save his life. While most pop tracks pretend everyone on the dance floor is effortlessly smooth, Álvaro admits right away that his hips simply won't cooperate. He sings, "mi cintura necesita tu ayuda" (my waist needs your help) and jokes, "creo que mi cintura choca con mi cultura" (I think my waist clashes with my culture). Tripping over the sand ("tropiezo con la arena"), he relies on his dance partner to teach him how to move before he totally loses his balance.
Flo Rida jumps in with typical party swagger, switching between English and playful Spanish lines like "did I say water? Sí, mami, ven acá" (Yes, mami, come here) and reassuring his partner with "you ain't gotta be sola" (you don't have to be alone). Between TINI's presence and the upbeat tempo, the song turns feeling awkward into an excuse to laugh and keep moving anyway. The whole vibe is about letting go until morning—"olvidando, olvidando que estoy bailando... hasta el amanecer" (forgetting, forgetting that I am dancing... until sunrise)—and learning on the go.
