Te Robaré Lyrics in English by Prince Royce
Robaré is the future tense of the verb robar, meaning "to steal". In this passionate bachata, the word takes on a romantic and daring meaning, rather than a literal one.
Prince Royce sings "Te robaré esta noche" ("I will steal you tonight"), promising to sweep his love away for a secret night together, defying her disapproving parents. It’s a powerful word that captures the song's thrilling theme of forbidden romance.
If you have ever snuck out past curfew, Prince Royce knows your story. In this bachata hit, the Bronx-born Dominican singer plays the ultimate forbidden lover. The problem starts at the front door: "Tus padres no me aceptan en casa" ("Your parents don't accept me in their house"). Instead of backing off, he doubles down. He decides to bypass the front door completely and climb straight through the bedroom window ("por tu ventana yo entraré" ["through your window I will enter"]). The hook hinges on the phrase "Te robaré esta noche" ("I will steal you tonight"). In romance songs, robar (to steal or rob) often means whisking someone away for a secret tryst rather than committing an actual crime. He does not care who is hunting for him or who calls him crazy ("No importa el peligro, yo te quiero ver" ["Danger doesn't matter, I want to see you"]).
Things get shamelessly bold toward the end. Royce drops the gentle daydreaming ("Tú eres quién a mí me hace soñar" ["You are the one who makes me dream"]) and jumps straight to bedroom promises. He sings, "Te comeré de la cabeza a los pies" ("I will eat you from head to toe"), which is a delightfully blunt Spanish way to promise total devotion. It is cheeky, dramatic, and pure Romeo-at-the-balcony energy set to a dance beat.
