VAMPIROS Lyrics in English by ROSALÍA, Rauw Alejandro
Colmillos are "fangs," the sharp, pointed teeth famously associated with vampires. It's a visually powerful word that you won't encounter in everyday conversation, making it a memorable addition to your vocabulary.
In the song, which is titled "VAMPIROS," ROSALÍA and Rauw Alejandro use this word to build their dark, nocturnal theme. The line "Colmillos afilado de metales" (Sharp fangs of metal) creates a modern and edgy image, perfectly capturing the cool and dangerous vibe of the track.
Step into the dark with ROSALÍA and Rauw Alejandro as creatures of the night. In "VAMPIROS," the two trade lines like partners in crime who only come alive after sunset. They spell out their schedule right away: "Salimos de noche, llegamos de día" [We head out at night, we arrive by day]. The track blends ROSALÍA's roots with Rauw's island slang, opening with the boast that she "Es de Barcelona, pero está en Carola" [She is from Barcelona, but she is in Carolina], shouting out Rauw's Puerto Rican hometown.
The energy here is wild and loose. They hype each other up with the Puerto Rican slang phrase "nos fuimos algarete" [we went totally wild / out of control] while rolling through smoky streets where the moon keeps guard. They also compare their team-up to reggaeton royalty: "Ella es como Don, yo soy Daddy" [She is like Don Omar, I am Daddy Yankee], referencing two of the biggest pioneers in the genre to claim they can easily pay off a luxury sports car. By the time they flash their "colmillos afilado de metales" [sharp metal fangs], they act like they have beaten time itself: "somos inmortales" [we are immortal].
