This sets the tone for a song that is both playful and deeply affectionate.

Throughout the song, Caloncho and Carlos Sadness use various fruits to describe the beloved, each chosen for its unique qualities. The references to 'pecas de sandía' (watermelon freckles) and 'piel de albaricoque' (apricot skin) paint a vivid picture of the lover's physical attributes, while also highlighting the sensory pleasures of touch and taste.
