Romeo Santos' song "Fui a Jamaica" is a romantic ballad about a man's desperate attempt to win the love of a woman. He travels to Jamaica to perform witchcraft and have her in his hands, despite knowing it is wrong. He prays to all the saints, lights candles, and collects rosaries, but his prayers are in vain. A psychic tells him that another man has her in his arms, and he realizes his love has come too late. He refuses to accept this and feels incomplete without her, so he vows to never rest until she is his beloved and her love is in his life.

I went to Jamaica to make you witchcraft

And to have you in my hands

Although I know it's a sin

I'm desperate

I've prayed to all the saints

My prayer has been a failure

I put candles on a daily basis

And I collect rosaries

Verse 1

And a psychic told me

That there's a man who's got you in his arms

That my love is late

And that guy early

Chorus 1

I don't resign myself, I don't accept

I feel incomplete

If I don't conquer you

I can't wait to talk to you, try you

Even if it's a little bit

I won't rest until you're my girlfriend

And may your love be seen in my panorama

Cry guitar

I see ya'll ready

For the King

I don't resign myself, I don't accept

I feel incomplete

If I don't conquer you

I can't wait to talk to you

Try you even a little bit

I won't rest until you're my girlfriend

And may your love be seen in my panorama

Hey Mommy, it's just that your love has me

Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy

Outro

I went to Jamaica to make you witchcraft

And to have you in my hands

And a Christian told me

That I'm wrong

That only God has the power

And he decides who we ended up with

But speaking honestly

I'm a desubicated
