Posted by Peso Pluma released a new song with Junior H y Óscar Maydon, Rompe La Dompe, and fans are trying to understand its meaning in English: let’s analyze the lyrics.
When Peso Pluma shares a new single, Latin America wakes up. The Mexican singer is still one of the most beloved artists in Spanish-speaking music, and we talked about his songs often on our pages: Ella Baila Sola and Tulum have been among the most streamed songs of 2023, and now his new song, Rompe La Dompe, promises the same success for 2024.
However, fans have been curious to understand more about the song’s meaning: Rompe la Dompe has lyrics that can be hard to understand not only for English speakers but even for many of those who know Spanish: Peso Pluma often uses a terminology belonging to Mexico, which can look cryptic out of his country. So, what’s the English meaning of the lyrics in Rompe La Dompe?
Let’s start with the song title: “Rompe La Dompe” is urban slang and can be translated in English as “break the Dom Pe,” where Dom Pe refers to Dom Pérignon, the famous vintage champagne, symbol for an expensive wine to open when we celebrate an important occasion. Therefore, Peso Pluma is inviting us to open that costly bottle because there is something we need to celebrate.
What are the artists celebrating? The song talks about a woman who’s coming: her name is María, and the song compares her to an angel (“You only miss wings,” a line says). The singer is attracted by her, and he’s celebrating the encounter that will happen soon.
Break the Dom Pe
The “paca” never ends, the soubrettes were dancing
and I don’t know your name
But your aroma catches me, you only miss wings, you angel
However, the scene described by Rompe La Dompe does not belong to a wealthy world. Right after the line about Dom Pérignon, the song explains that “the paca never ends”: in Mexico, “paca” is a term that refers to old, second-hand clothes, a symbol of poverty. That makes the image of Dom Pérignon even more extraordinary. A possible interpretation of those lines could be: even though we are not rich, I’m ready to open my most expensive bottle because you are coming to me.
The song continues, showing the singer’s attraction for this girl, turning the song Rompe La Dompe into a romantic ballad for the beloved girl: the lyrics are open to your free interpretation of its meaning; you can find their English translation below.
Break the Dom Pe
The “paca” never ends, the soubrettes were dancing
and I don’t know your name
But your aroma catches me, you only miss wings, you angel
Break the Dom Pe
María is coming, bring all your friends
Mine only at night
I don’t look at her during the day, the note never ends
Don’t tempt me
You’re a snake, get out of my mind, go away
With the teeth
Lined with diamonds I swore I would always love you
180
Heading for the after, everyone singing and drinking cocos locos
Red eyes
And I caress your leg, I feel among the stars
There you go, buddy Junior.
And pure Double P, man
And his friend Oscar Maydon
And let the killer keep giving, buddy Junior
Bye!
Five cigars
Let the car fill with smoke, if there is a fight, then we will pay for it.
Hey, everything controlled
I have criminal friends, also the uniformed ones, hey
Break the Dom Pe
María is coming, bring all your friends
Mine only at night
I don’t look at her during the day, the note never ends
Don’t tempt me
If you’re a snake, get out of my mind, go away
With the teeth
Lined with diamonds I swore I would always love you
Nightclubs
The babies want smoke, they want to wake up crazy
Red eyes
And I caress your leg, I feel in the stars
