aguacero — downpour
Aguacero means a sudden, heavy downpour of rain. It's a vivid and dramatic word that isn't typical in most pop lyrics.
Maluma uses it in a striking metaphor: "Como perder el sol con un aguacero" (Like losing the sun to a downpour). He's illustrating how a moment of happiness and clarity can be instantly ruined by a sudden disaster, perfectly capturing the fear of ruining his relationship.
Maluma and Sech team up on "Instinto Natural" to deliver one of the most audacious confessions you will ever hear in reggaeton. Instead of hiding behind sweet lies, Maluma lays all his flaws out on the table before anything even happens. He straight up warns his partner that he might slip up later: "Tal vez algún día yo te fallaré... Es mi instinto natural" ("Maybe one day I'll fail you... It's my natural instinct"). He admits upfront that he fears losing her ("Me da miedo perderte"), yet he bluntly predicts his own mistakes with "Aunque la cague quiero verte" ("Even if I mess up, I want to see you"). In colloquial Spanish, la cague comes from the verb cagar, which literally means to crap, but here functions as the informal slang for screwing up royally.
His logic is hilariously brazen: he argues that kissing someone else would strictly be physical biology, swearing "si caigo en otras bocas, no meto el corazón en esas cosas" ("if I fall into other mouths, I don't put my heart into those things"). Maluma even drops his real first name, Juan, when imagining the exact rumor that could blow up his relationship: "Que diga que Juan anda de fiesta y está buscando lo que ya tiene en su mesa" ("Saying that Juan is out partying and looking for what he already has on his table"). It is a funny, shamelessly blunt excuse for infidelity, wrapped in an infectious groove where he begs his partner not to take his weaknesses personally.
