The Hidden Meaning of Rauw Alejandro’s GuabanSexxx (English Lyrics)

Share:

Rauw Alejandro‘s ‘GuabanSexxx‘ is built around the idea of desire as something both irresistible and destructive. The lyrics describe a woman whose presence is compared to a storm: she’s magnetic, dangerous, and overwhelming, capable of lifting you up with passion only to let you fall. That mix of attraction and chaos makes her both fascinating and threatening.

This is where the connection to Guabancex, the Taíno goddess of storms and chaos, becomes important. In Taíno mythology, Guabancex is the force behind hurricanes — unpredictable, violent, but also a reminder of nature’s raw power.

In the song, the woman embodies that same energy. She isn’t just a lover; she’s a storm personified. The repeated plea to “Holy Mary, deliver us from all evil” underlines the danger of being swept away by her, just as people would pray for protection during a real storm.

So, the track isn’t only about seduction. It’s about the clash between passion and destruction, framed through religious and mythological imagery. Just like Guabancex, the woman in the song represents chaos that can’t be controlled — something you fear, but can’t turn away from.

[Intro]

Holy Mary, keep me safe from harm
Protect us, Lady, from this wild storm’s charm
Holy Mary, keep me safe from harm (Hey, hey, Ra Rauw)
Cover me, Lady

[Verse 1]

The sky is falling
Thunder strikes
You’re the goddess of my chaos
And I realize
There’s no escape
I drown inside your tide
The current drags me, pulling, fighting
The way your body moves is lightning
You take me high, high, ohhh
Lift me up just to let me fall
You’re a killer, and I need to guard my soul

[Chorus]

Holy Mary, keep me safe from harm
Protect us, Lady, from this dangerous charm
Holy Mary, keep me safe from harm
Cover me, Lady

[Bridge]

Stay inside, the storm is near
Lock the shutters, don’t go out there
Stay inside, the storm is near
Don’t step outside, don’t step outside

[Verse 2]

(Rauw)
They say the hurricane is on its way
But girl, the only thing I fear is you today
I can’t resist
The tide inside you twists
I searched for a savior, painted her like Dalí
Playing on the skin, no tambourine melody
All natural, I don’t mean Tego
In the bed it poured, a wild downpour
And I was left with no umbrella for her storm

Such aggression, I can see the sin
Static fire when I touch your skin

[Chorus]

Holy Mary, set me free

[Verse 3]

Tonight she’s out (Tonight she’s out)
She loves the dance (She loves the dance)
Her dress seduces (Her dress seduces)
She drives them mad (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Careful with her game (Careful, careful)
Her tricks deceive (Twist, twist)
I’ll make you call my name (Mami)
I’m the mountain, baby, don’t you move

[Chorus/Outro]

Holy Mary, keep me safe from harm
Protect us, Lady, from this wild storm’s charm
Holy Mary, keep me safe from harm
Cover us, Lady, from this terrible storm.
