‘Mírame Ahora (Salud Mi Reina)’ by Manuel Turizo: Meaning and Lyrics in English
The song is about falling into love unexpectedly and being completely transformed by it
‘Mírame Ahora (Salud Mi Reina)’ which translates to ‘Look at Me Now (Cheers My Queen)’ is about falling into love unexpectedly and being completely transformed by it. From the start, Manuel Turizo admits they want to stay, love, and be fully present in the relationship—it’s not just a fling.
However, throughout the lyrics, there’s a tension between desire and what feels a little forbidden. Even if people are watching, they can’t resist, pushed by that “little devil” whispering ideas.
The chorus highlights the biggest shift: someone who once said they’d never fall in love now finds themselves kissing “just because”. Giving their heart away, and talking for hours. There’s both surprise and vulnerability in realizing how deep this connection runs.
Later, destiny comes into play: how did they not meet sooner, when they feel so perfect together? She’s described as elegant and unique, and he believes time finally brought them together—better late than never.
In the end, the song is about how love can show up unannounced, break down old beliefs (“I’ll never fall in love”), and push someone to dive in wholeheartedly, no matter what anyone else thinks.
‘Mírame Ahora (Salud Mi Reina)’ English Translation
[Verse 1]
I’ve got plans to stay and to love you
I just want to be your plan for today (Your plan for today)
I’m so hooked, it’s hitting me hard
Why even ask? You already know how I feel
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m ready to take you now, even if they see us
Got a little devil feeding me ideas
No more keeping quiet, they already know you’re my thing
I’m on my way to you, even if they see us
Got a little devil feeding me ideas
Give me a kiss, at least one
[Chorus]
Look at me now
The one who said he’d never fall in love
When did we end up like this?
Kissing just because
Putting my heart into it, talking for hours
Look at me now
The one who said he’d never fall in love
When did we end up like this?
Kissing just because
Putting my heart into it, talking for hours
[Verse 2]
How is it that I didn’t meet you before?
It’s not enough to say I like you a lot
A fine lady, so elegant
Guess destiny was running late for us
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m ready to take you now, even if they see us
Got a little devil feeding me ideas
No more keeping quiet, they already know you’re my thing
I’m on my way to you so they can see us
Got a little devil feeding me ideas
Give me a kiss, at least one
[Chorus]
Look at me now
The one who said he’d never fall in love
When did we end up like this?
K-kissing just because
Putting my heart into it, talking for hours
Look at me now
The one who said he’d never fall in love
When did we end up like this?
Kissing just because
Putting my heart into it, talking for hours
[Outro]
