Review

One of the fastest ways to learn Spanish is through music and songs, if you are practicing your Spanish, surely you have noticed that one of the best ways to do it is by singing and repeating lyrics to make a memory of words and pronunciations.

This time we are going to review Atrévete-te-te lyrics translation and meaning. Atrévete-te-te is a song by the Puerto Rican group Calle 13 which is best known for their polemic and revolutionary lyrics in their songs. The song was released in Jan 2006 and after that Calle 13 reached fame after being a completely unknown group. Atrévete-te-te success was so big that it won the best video Latin Grammy Award in 2006. Atrévete-te-te translation can be interpreted as “Dare Yourself-self-self”, a way to motivate girls to not be shy and to enjoy their lives.

Atrévete-te-te musical genre is based on Cumbia and Reggaeton and the lyrics contain many Spanglish words since in Puerto Rico people tend to speak using both languages to communicate.

Atrévete-te-te video clip meaning isn’t complicated at all, we see the singer passing through a Puerto Rico urban place where all houses look the same and all the girls dress alike too. The video uses a splendid choreography of girls wearing white sexy clothes while dancing and doing daily activities in their homes like painting, cooking, etc. the lyrics tell girls to loosen themselves, to enjoy life, and not get restrained by what people have to say, the iconic phrase in this song is “Atrévete-te-te salte del closet” and the meaning is to stop pretending to be a shy girl when you aren’t.

This song is a Latin-American classic and you can learn Spanish easily from home just by watching the video clip and memorizing the lyrics and translation. More of the complex sentences and words are explained in the translation above.

If you liked Atrévete-te-te we can recommend you Créeme by Karol G and Maluma, another great song to learn Spanish, just be sure to practice a lot so you can remember and learn properly from your own home, with just an hour you dedicated to practicing Spanish you will improve a lot in no time.
