Boza and Elena Rose dropped their first collaborative effort in May — a feel-good, modern-day love song called “Orion” — which ultimately scored both artists their first top 10 on the Billboard Latin Pop Airplay chart-dated Oct. 5.
The infectious reggaetón and afrobeat fusion, produced by Daramola, finds the Panamanian and Venezuelan artists going back-and-forth on their feelings for each other. “You have me on cloud nine/I haven’t landed yet,” chants Boza. “I also want to have you/Just give me a chance to assimilate,” Elena responds.
Named after the constellation that’s visible in the winter sky, “Orion” — which was also named one of Billboard’s Best Latin Songs of 2024 (so far) — flew 17-4 on the chart, taking the Greatest Gainer honor of the week that’s awarded weekly to the song with the most audience impressions among the chart’s 40-deep entries.
Below, check out the entire song lyric translated into English.
Elena Rose is confirmed to speak at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Week, returning to Miami Beach on Oct. 14-18, with other confirmed artists including J Balvin, Feid, Young Miko, Gloria Estefan, Alejandro Sanz, Maria Becerra, and Peso Pluma, among many others.

But tell me what’s the secret you’ve kept
That no one has found
And that has me in a daze
It’s that if you ask me to wait for you, I’ll wait for you sitting down
You have me on cloud nine
I haven’t landed yet
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
You have me feeling weak with that B-U-T-T
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
You have me feeling weak with that B-U-T-T
I also want to have you
Just give me a chance to assimilate
That I fell a lot in the past
And I don’t want to hurt you with my wounds
I also want to have you
Just give me a chance to assimilate
That I fell a lot in the past
And I don’t want to hurt you with my wounds
I want to take it slow, slow, slow, slow, slow
Because I don’t want to lie to you, no
Just give me chance, I ask
My heart is like Miami
Always under construction
I put myself first
That’s my only condition
And I don’t only want to
Have sex with you
I really like you
That’s why I want to confess to you
Oh, the life you came to
You kiss so well, you went over the top
I want to stick you to the wall
Like a work of art
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
You have me feeling weak with that B-U-T-T
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
I can be your safe space
I also want to have you
Just give me a chance to assimilate
That I fell a lot in the past
And I don’t want to hurt you with my wounds
I’ll become a pirate and steal your heart
And I’ll make love to you in Orion’s belt
There’s no way to fail such a woman
I assure you that you are my philosophy, and I am Plato
Understand that I am unique, therefore
The least expected surprises you
And that wounds heal and pain does not last forever
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
You have me feeling weak with that B-U-T-T
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
You have me feeling weak with that B-U-T-T
I also want to have you
Just give me a chance to assimilate
That I fell a lot in the past
And I don’t want to hurt you with my wounds
I also want to have you
Just give me a chance to assimilate
That I fell a lot in the past
And I don’t want to hurt you with my wounds
