Procura Lyrics in English by Eden Muñoz, Manny Cruz
Seducirme means “to seduce me,” combining seducir (to seduce or allure) with me (me). In the song, “Procura seducirme muy despacio” means “Try to seduce me very slowly,” giving the word a playful, romantic sense of gradually captivating someone.
“Procura” means “try” or “make an effort,” and here the request is deliciously direct: “Procura seducirme muy despacio” [Try to seduce me very slowly]. The singer wants the flirting to last, but he also admits he is already in danger of giving in. He asks the woman to approach “como ola del mar” [like a wave from the sea], then says, “me hundo para siempre en tu rodar” [I sink forever in your rolling movement]. That wave image makes the attraction feel impossible to resist. He knows it might be wiser to stay away, yet he keeps imagining being close to her. The repeated “Procura coquetearme más” [Try to flirt with me more] is playful and bold, while “no reparo de lo que te haré” [I do not hold back about what I will do to you] adds a very flirtatious, suggestive edge.
The song turns this attraction into a dilemma that neither person can escape: “Procura ser parte de mí” [Try to become part of me], but also “Procura no mirarme más” [Try not to look at me anymore], because ignoring him means missing what could happen. Manny Cruz’s section raises the heat with “que se aceleren mis latidos” [let my heartbeats speed up] and images of slowly bringing their lips closer until he falls into her arms. The shout-outs to Sinaloa, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic, along with lines such as “Pero qué sabroso” [But how delicious], give the performance a celebratory, teasing feel. It is a song about temptation spoken out loud: come closer, flirt slowly, and watch me lose my balance.
