Verse 1

They go out to be seen

Or: They go out so they can see her

They get lost in the rhythm

They're not looking for love

Let the rhythm take you

That's how I like it, just like that

The night calls for more, I don't hold back

The music is good and I can't resist

Chorus 1

They go out so people can see she likes to dance

They get lost in the rhythm and start to forget

They're not looking for anything, they're good as they are

Don't talk to her about love, that doesn't work with her

The 'que' in the line 'que no le hablen de amor' means basically 'no le hablen de amor' (don't talk to her about love). The word 'que' has many functions and can convey many nuances depending on how it is used

They go out so people can see she likes to dance

They get lost in the rhythm and start to forget

They're not looking for anything, they're good as they are

Don't talk to her about love, that doesn't work with her

Lit: Don't talk to her about love, that doesn't go with her

Verse 2

Today we go out incognito

We're going to get into trouble

It is not clear whether the author means something imperative or affirmative. The sentence could be interpreted both ways: We're going to get in trouble / Let's get in trouble

We're just messing around, babe

We're not looking for a ring

Or: We're not looking for a commitment or something serious

When they drop the music, we go all out

Lit: When they put on the music we give it all

Who doesn't like a Latina dancing Reggaetón?

Come if you want to try

Go away if you're going to fall in love

We won't stop until dawn

The party ends if we leave

With the phone turned off

They

Chorus 2

They go out so people can see she likes to dance

They get lost in the rhythm and start to forget

They're not looking for anything, they're good as they are

Don't talk to her about love, that doesn't work with her

They go out so people can see she likes to dance

They get lost in the rhythm and start to forget

They're not looking for anything, they're good as they are

Don't talk to her about love, that doesn't work with her

Outro

They go out to be seen

They get lost in the rhythm

They're not looking

Go away if you're going to fall in love

Did you like this lyrics translation?

incógnito — incognito

Incógnito is a stylish and intriguing word adopted from Italian/Latin, meaning to go undercover or in disguise. It carries a sense of mystery and secrecy that makes it stand out from everyday vocabulary.

In this party anthem, Selena sings "Hoy salimos incógnito" (Today we go out incognito). It perfectly captures the song's carefree, no-strings-attached vibe—they're hitting the town in stealth mode, looking to dance without being recognized or tied down by romantic expectations. This rare loanword adds a layer of cool, cinematic energy to the night out.

Selena Gomez lays down the rules of the club right from the start in "Buscando Amor": tonight is strictly for dancing, not dating. The title might mean "Looking for Love", but the lyrics flip that entirely. She sings that the women in the room "No están buscando amor" ("They are not looking for love") and tells anyone trying to start a romance to back off. Instead, it is all about shutting off the outside world ("Con el cel apagado" [With the cell phone turned off]) and staying out until sunrise ("Hasta que amanezca no paramos" [Until dawn we do not stop]).

She keeps the vibe light and fun by using the slang word vacilando in "Sólo estamos vacilando, babe" ("We're just having fun / fooling around, babe"), making sure nobody gets the wrong idea about commitment ("No estamos buscando anillo" [We are not looking for a ring]). Selena delivers one of the most blunt ultimatums you will hear on a dance floor: "Vente si quieres probar / Vete si te vas a enamorar" ("Come here if you want to try / Leave if you are going to fall in love"). It is a direct, rhythmic pop track that celebrates letting loose to reggaetón and forgetting your daily stress.
