SILENCIO Lyrics in English by Rauw Alejandro
Diluvio literally translates to "deluge" or "flood", often used in a biblical sense like "The Great Flood". It's a powerful and dramatic word that you won't hear in a song every day.
In this steamy bachata, Rauw Alejandro uses it metaphorically to describe an overwhelming rush of passion. He sings, "un diluvio en tu cuerpo" (a flood in your body), to express the intense physical reaction he can cause with just a simple wink. This poetic exaggeration makes it a truly memorable word to learn.
Puerto Rican star Rauw Alejandro switches things up here by stepping into bachata territory, declaring midway through: "Es mi primera bachata, mami" ("It's my first bachata, baby"). The track kicks off with a blunt, hilarious complaint about a relationship gone cold: "La cama piensa que somos hermanos" ("The bed thinks we're brother and sister"). Instead of talking out their drama or yelling at each other, he suggests an entirely physical fix. He misses the days when they had to keep quiet so the neighbors wouldn't complain, begging her to stop arguing and redirect that anger into bedroom noise.
He doesn't sugarcoat anything in the lyrics. Lines like "Si es que surge un argumento, escoge tú la posición" ("If an argument comes up, you choose the position") and "Con tu boca, cállame" ("Shut me up with your mouth") show he is ready to trade all verbal fighting for intimacy. The Spanish phrase "no me lleves la contraria" means "don't contradict me" or "don't argue with me," while "desquítate en lo oscuro" invites her to take her revenge out on him in the dark. It is bold, direct, and completely focused on rekindling passion through dance and touch rather than endless talking.
