Rauw Alejandro Keeps Going Viral with ‘SANTA’: Meaning, Lyrics in English

Share:

Rauw Alejandro never stops evolving as an artist. Gone are the days of the Rauw we saw in ‘Tattoo’ or ‘Sexo Virtual’. The Puerto Rican artist has experienced significant moments in his life that have reshaped his image and artistic concept, both personally and professionally.

This isn’t just about his relationship with Rosalía, which undoubtedly marked a significant turning point in the career of the ‘Ponte Pa Mí’ singer. Following the release of Saturno (2022) and Playa Saturno (2023), Rauw has continued to dominate, becoming one of the most listened-to Latin artists of the year.

Now that summer has begun, we can’t go without a viral song that Rauw manages to gift us every year during this season. If a few years ago it was ‘Todo De Ti’ and in 2023 it was ‘BABY HELLO’, this year it seems that ‘SANTA’ will be the hit that keeps us dancing in beach clubs.

A catchy and seductive song that reminds us a lot of his collaboration with Chris Brown, ‘Nostálgico’. And it’s no coincidence since both songs share the same producer, Rvssian. This time, however, Rauw teams up with the young Nigerian star Arya Starr.

What is the Meaning of ‘SANTA’?

‘SANTA’ is a song that perfectly captures what Rauw wants to convey. ‘SANTA’ is the Spanish word for «saint,» which Alejandro uses to describe the woman he sings to, referring to her as a deity. Hence the lyrics, «Mami, it’s that you enchant me. I pray to you, my saint.»

‘SANTA’: Lyrics in English

Hey, Rvssian
I can’t deny this desire
I can’t stop looking at your lips
Refusing our bodies
Sweating like in the desert, yeah
We know people are unnecessary
But if you ask, that can change
In just a moment
If you want, I can be inside

Mami, it’s that you enchant me
I pray to you, my saint
A devil, how she dances
No one in the club can reach you, no, no, no
It’s that you enchant me
I pray to you, my saint
A devil, how she dances
No one in the club can reach you, no, no, eh (oh, no, no)

Touch on my body feels like ecstasy
No other person, only you I see
My daily dose of vitamin C
See, it’s only you I need
Rough off the bed, every time that it goes down
I feel the love but I don’t need no closure
You feeling down, baby, come let me hold you
Would you come let me hold you?

Rough off the bed, every time that it goes down
I feel the love but I don’t need no closure
You feeling down, baby, come let me hold you
Would you come let me hold you?

Mami, it’s that you enchant me
I pray to you, my saint
A devil, how she dances
No one in the club can reach you, no, no, no
It’s that you enchant me
I pray to you, my saint
A devil, how she dances
No one in the club can reach you, no, no, eh

Mamita, I want to heal your sorrows
A shot of tequila with a dance
I want to steal a kiss in the dark
I don’t need to see, just feel your parts
Don’t worry about what I spend
I’m not like your last guy
You ask, leave the shyness behind, yeah
Give me, give me, give me your smile
I had to leave and I lost my rush
All night long grinding the jeans, bae

Oh, my baby, do me like ogbono
You drive me to your place
I move with your rhythm and bass
I move to your rhythm and bass (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh, my baby, do me like ogbono (oh, my baby)
You drive me to your place (drive me to your place)
I move with your rhythm and bass (I move, I move)
I move to your rhythm and bass (I move, I move)

I can’t deny this desire
I can’t stop looking at your lips
Refusing our bodies
Sweating like in the desert, yeah
We know people are unnecessary
But if you ask, that can change
In just a moment
If you want, I can be inside

Mami, it’s that you enchant me
I pray to you, my saint
A devil, how she dances
No one in the club can reach you, no, no, no
It’s that you enchant me
I pray to you, my saint
A devil, how she dances
No one in the club can reach you, no, no, eh
