Verse 1

Wow, how pretty you are

I only look at you

The combination of your mouth

With this tequila on the rocks

They're lethal for me

I feel like I've been here before

I don't know if the same happens to you too

Loves go, loves come, but what does it matter?

If in the end everyone deserves what they give

Prechorus 1

Under the stars, the full moon

You are my calm in this storm

There are pretty little faces that leave their mark

And yours can't be erased

Chorus 1

How much I like you

I'd like to talk to you about another topic

That I can't say with words

Why don't we leave here?

Better yet, why don't we go live

In a little house on the sand

And never move from there? From there

Verse 2

She dances alone

And I watch her

You have swing, you have swagger

You have a sway

Get dangerous, 'cause

I'm always up for it

If we play the game of who falls in love

I lose first

And I fall again

I can't hold back

Your mischievous little face

And how you look at me

You make me delirious

To imagine little things

Bridge

Tease me, woman, and come f*ck me

Yuba cuembe, now it's your turn to dance

It's crazy, loving you since the first time

I want you sleeping by my side every night

Prechorus 2

Under the stars, the full moon

You are my calm in this storm

There are pretty little faces that leave their mark

And yours can't be erased

Chorus 2

How much I like you

I'd like to talk to you about another topic

That I can't say with words

Why don't we leave here?

Better yet, why don't we go live

In a little house on the sand

And never move from there? From there

Oh, my beautiful girl, I came to see

I'm here to watch the storm rage

Oh, pretty little girl, I came to see

How the storm rages, I came to see

There comes the storm, I came to see

With the beautiful girl, I want to see it

Those pretty faces, I came to see them

How the storm rages, I came to see

bandida — bandit / outlaw (female)

Bandida literally translates to a female "bandit" or "outlaw". However, in modern slang and especially in reggaeton songs, it's used playfully to describe a woman who is a bit of a "bad girl" — someone who is mischievous, confident, and dangerously attractive.

In "Carita Linda," Rauw Alejandro sings about being captivated by her "carita de bandida" (little bandit face). He's not calling her a criminal; he's complimenting her alluring and rebellious look that drives him crazy.

Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro goes all in on a massive crush in "Carita Linda". The track mixes smooth, romantic daydreaming with high-energy party talk. Right from the start, he admits that mixing the vision of her lips with tequila on the rocks is completely fatal for him: "La combinación de tu boca / Con este tequila a las rocas / Son mortal pa' mí" [The combination of your mouth with this tequila on the rocks is deadly for me]. He even sings about ditching regular life completely to go build a little house on the beach together ("una casita en la arena" [a little house in the sand]) so they never have to leave.

At the same time, the song does not stay quiet in the sand. Rauw hypes up her moves on the dance floor by shouting out her "swing", "piquete" (Puerto Rican slang for bold style or swagger), and her "meneo" (hip-shaking). He admits that if flirting is a contest, he loses instantly: "Si jugamos el juego de quien se enamora / Yo pierdo primero" [If we play the game of who falls in love, I lose first]. He even slips in traditional Puerto Rican musical flavor with the rhythm chant "Yuba cuembe" right alongside cheeky party slang like "cúcame" [tease me or provoke me]. Through it all, he treats her face as his shelter from the chaos, repeating that while other flings pass, her pretty face leaves a mark that is impossible to scrub away.
