Te Robaré Lyrics in English by Nicky Jam, Ozuna

Robaré is the future tense of the verb robar, which means "to steal". While it can refer to literal theft, in music and romantic contexts, it often takes on a much more playful and flirtatious meaning.

In "Te Robaré", Nicky Jam isn't talking about a crime. He's making a bold promise to "steal" his love interest away for the night, whisking her away from her normal routine for a secret, unforgettable adventure together. It's a poetic way to express taking someone on a romantic escape.

Puerto Rican star Nicky Jam teams up with Ozuna for "Te Robaré", a track driven by late-night mixed signals and irresistible temptation. The title phrase "esta noche yo te robaré" literally translates to "tonight I will steal you," which is Spanish slang for whisking someone away for a secret rendezvous. The singers know their love interest only calls when she wants something—bluntly asking, "¿Por qué no me hablas claro?" [Why don't you speak plainly to me?] and admitting "Sólo me buscas cada ves que te conviene" [You only look for me whenever it suits you]. Yet neither of them actually cares about her bad intentions. The thrill of giving in completely overrules common sense.

There is plenty of playful tension and vivid wordplay tucked into these verses. Notice the line "Te comes la comida si la quieres calentar" [You eat the food if you want to warm it up], which uses mealtime imagery to tease that if you start something tempting, you had better finish it. Nicky and Ozuna keep things hush-hush with "calladitos nos tenemos que escapar" [quietly we have to escape], joking that they better not get caught because the scandal will end up online. It is a smooth, flirtatious back-and-forth about sneaking off with someone who is trouble, all while telling her "tú tranquila" [stay calm] because the night is completely under control.
