cigüatera — ciguatera (fish poisoning)
Cigüatera refers to ciguatera fish poisoning, a type of food poisoning caused by eating fish that have accumulated certain toxins. It's a very specific and unusual word to find in a song, making it highly memorable.
In Juan Luis Guerra's song, he uses "el beso de la cigüatera" (the kiss of the ciguatera) as a metaphor for a kiss that causes a dizzying, disorienting, and overwhelming reaction, much like the symptoms of the actual poisoning. It's a creative and unique way to describe an intense, almost intoxicating, romantic experience.
