Enchulau Lyrics in English by Brray, Alejo, L-O-N
Enchulao' is Puerto Rican slang for enchulado, meaning deeply infatuated or caught up in romantic desire. The dropped final d reflects the song’s casual Caribbean pronunciation, making it a memorable expression to learn.
In the chorus, the singer asks, "Si los dos estamos enchulao'" ("If we’re both smitten"), describing two people who are wrapped up in each other without quite knowing how it happened.
Brray, a Puerto Rican artist, joins Alejo and L-O-N for a flirtatious song about two people who are completely caught up in each other. The narrator watches the clock because seeing her feels slow to arrive, yet “Tiene un no sé qué, que to' los días me enamora” [She has a certain something that makes me fall for her every day]. He cannot get tired of her, cannot focus when she is away, and admits, “Ya caí en tu trampa” [I already fell into your trap]. The word enchulao' is Puerto Rican-style slang for being deeply infatuated or in love, so when he asks, “Si los dos estamos enchulao', baby, dime qué somos” [If we are both crazy about each other, baby, tell me what we are], he is asking whether their intense connection has a name.
The song mixes sweet devotion with very direct adult desire. He says, “Yo me canso de to' menos de ti” [I get tired of everything except you], calls her a “castigo” [punishment] that he is willing to pay for, and says he will give her his heart. Then the lyrics turn blunt and sexual, joking that neither Prozac, ashwagandha, nor cannabis relaxes him like being intimate with her. Cora' means “heart,” no le pares bola means “do not pay attention to it,” and pillo a sola' means “catch you alone.” With its clock-watching, late-night meetings, jealous confidence, and repeated question about what they are, “Enchulau” feels like a messy, exciting attraction that is far too strong to ignore.
