Style and meaning

One of the most successful, danceable and powerful salsa songs by Puerto Rican Power is their hit Tu Cariñito from 2000 from their album Men in Salsa :

Tu Cariñito

Te ando buscando como un loco por el mundo
Y sin ti ya no aguanto un segundo
Alguien venga dimelo ya
Si la han visto por aqui o la han visto por alla

I run like a madman through the world looking for you
I can't stand it for a second without you
Somebody is coming, tell me already
Have you seen them here or there

Porque la busco yo la busco y no la encuentro
Ya yo quiero que llegue ese momento en que yo le puedo decir
Que sin ti mi vida no puedo vivir

Because I search and search for it and not find it.
I want it to come now at this moment when I can say
that I cannot live my life without you

Porque yo quiero que tu vuelvas a mi
Que me des un cariñito mi amor
Y que me llenes de besitos y mas
Porque eres tu la nena que quiero yo

Because I want you to return to me.
That you give me a little tenderness, my love.
And that you fill me with kisses and more.
Because you are the darling I want

La ando buscando por los 7 mares
Debajo de las piedras y en mil lugares
Alguien venga digamelo ya
Si la han visto por aqui o la han visto por allá

I'm looking for her on the seven seas
Under the stones and in a thousand places
Somebody is coming, tell me already
Have you seen her here or there?

Ya he perdido la noción del tiempo
No se la hora el dia ni el momento
Si alguien sabe digamelo ya
Si ha pasado 1 año, un siglo o una eternidad

I have already lost the concept of time.
I no longer know the hour, nor the moment.
If someone knows something, it already tells me.
If a year goes by, a century or an eternity

Porque yo quiero que tu vuelvas a mi ...
Que me des un cariñito mi amor
Que venga alguien y me lo diga
Si la ha visto yo lo quiero
Lo quiero lo quiero
Yo quiero yo quiero yo quiero
Tu cariñito aqui

Because I want you to return to me
And that you give me a little tenderness
That someone comes and tells me
that he has seen her and I want that
I want that, I want that
I need, I need, I need
your little tenderness here

Te busco por el mundo y no te puedo conseguir
Navego por los mares sin poder hayarte que.
Y todo lo que anhelo es poder habenrarte ...

I'm looking for you all over the world and I can't follow you
I steer through the seas without being able to see you
And all I long for is to find you

Que yo quiero que tu vuelvas vuelvas que yo quiero
Y yo la busco por alla
Que pasó ??
Puerto Rican power!

What I want is for you to come back, come back, that's what I want
And I'm looking for her there
What happened
Puerto Rican Power!

Que me des y que me des
Que me des tu cariñito uuu!
Yo lo necesito
Yue me des tu cariñito uuu!
Damelo poco a poquito

That you give me that you give me that you give
me your little tenderness
I need that
that you give me your little tenderness, uuu
give me a little, just a little bit

Que me des tu cariñito uuu! Cariñito cariñito
Que me des tu cariñito uuu!
Acarameladito
Que me des tu cariñito uuu!
Porque yo quiero un besito
Que me des un cariñito!
Yo quiero yo quiero mi nena
Que tu vuelvas a mi
Que sin ti mi vida no puedo vivir uuuu!

That you give me your little tenderness, little tenderness, little tenderness
That you give me your little tenderness, uuuu Covered
with caramel
That you give me your little tenderness, uuuu
Because I want a kiss
That you give me your little tenderness
I want, I do want, my darling,
that you return to me
Because I cannot live my life without you
