Karol G kicked off the summer season with the meringue-fueled “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” which loosely translates to “if I'd met you before.”
The style of the song is a tribute to the decades-old genre and the Dominican Republic. “I worked on part of 'Mañana Sera Bonito' there, and when I need to disconnect from the world and connect with myself, I also go there,” he said. he wrote on Instagram. “Its culture, its music, its colors, the hospitality, the energy… everything is very authentic and special there. Its people have embraced me in a way that fills my heart and inspires me all the time.”
Produced by Edgar Barrera, Sky Rompiendo and Karol, “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” debuted at No. 2 on Advertising sign's Hot Latin Songs chart (dated July 6).
Below, Advertising sign translates the Spanish lyrics of “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” into English:
What would it be?
If I had met you before
Sure, you would dance to this song with me
Not as friends
Like something else
You make me dangerous around me
For a kiss, I'll do anything
Your girlfriend is jealous of me even though she is beautiful
Hey!
He won't treat you like I did
He won't kiss you like I did
She's not as good as me
She's shy and I'm not
I'd be happy to eat you both
Today you are company with her
But maybe later you won't be
What would it be?
If I had met you before
Sure, you would dance to this song with me
Not as friends
Hey!
What would it be?
If I had met you before
Sure, you would dance to this song with me
Not as friends
Hey!
I see you and I don't know how to act
Baby, to mislead you, somebody give me the manual
No matter what, I won't back down
I believe these eyes will see me one day
I will marry you
My name sounds good with your last name
I'm waiting for the first slide
So may I introduce you as my husband
I will marry you
My name sounds good with your last name
I'm waiting for the first slide
So may I introduce you as my husband
You haven't understood
He won't treat you like I did
He won't kiss you like I did
She's not as good as me
She's shy and I'm not
I'd be happy to eat you both
Today you are company with her
But maybe later you won't be
What would it be?
If I had met you before
Sure, you would dance to this song with me
Not as friends no, no, no
Hey, hey, hey, hey
What would it be?
If I had met you before
Chiqui-chá, chiqui-chá, chiqui-chá, chiqui-chá (Ja, ja, ah)
Uh-uh-uh-uh
(what would it be)
(If I had met you before)
