Review

The story in the lyrics is about a night of partying and romance in Cartagena, Colombia. The singer meets a girl with a black dress and they dance and kiss under the moonlight. The power goes out in the neighborhood, but they don’t care because they have each other. The song is an interpretation of the singer’s love for his country and its culture.
The song makes me feel happy and energetic. It has a catchy rhythm and a lively melody. The artist weaves the story with vivid images and metaphors, such as dancing like palm trees, biting lips like olives, and traveling to the stars. He uses questions like “How, Where, When, Who & What” to invite the listener to join him in his adventure.
The song does not include explicit themes, but it has some sensual and playful lyrics. It is a fun and upbeat song that celebrates life and love.
The song relates to the YouTube video by showing scenes of Cartagena at night, with people dancing, playing instruments, and having fun. The video also shows Juanes and his love interest walking around the city. The video captures the essence and the mood of the song.
Some other sites where the song is discussed are Genius.com, where you can find the lyrics and their meaning; Letras.com, where you can find the lyrics in Spanish; and Billboard.com, where you can find an article about the song’s success on the charts.
The artist’s home page is https://www.juanes.net/, where you can find his biography, discography, tour dates, and news. His Twitter feed is @juanes, where he posts updates and interacts with his fans. His Instagram feed is @juanes, where he shares photos and videos of his personal and professional life.
