Review

The story in the lyrics is about a woman named Maria who is very attractive but dangerous. She is like a venomous snake that can kill you if you fall in love with her. The singer is obsessed with her and wants to kiss her even if he dies.
The song makes me feel excited and curious about Maria. It also makes me want to dance to the catchy rhythm and chorus.
The artist weaves the story by using contrast and repetition. He contrasts Maria’s appearance (white like the day) with her personality (venomous and cold). He repeats the phrase “one, two, three” and “one step forward, one step backward” to create a sense of movement and tension. He also uses Spanish words like “un pasito” and “palante” to add flavor and authenticity to the song.
The song does not include explicit themes, but it does imply sexual attraction and danger. It also uses metaphors like “drink her” and “mortal sin” to describe Maria’s effect on the singer.
The song is a fun song, but it also has a hint of sadness. It is fun because it is upbeat, energetic, and danceable. It is sad because it shows that the singer is trapped in a hopeless situation with Maria.
In the video, Ricky Martin is chasing after Maria, who always escapes his grasp. He follows her from place to place, but he never gets to touch her or talk to her. He only sees her from afar or in his imagination. He also dances with other people who join him in his quest for Maria.
