What does Si somo novios mean?
Enrique Iglesias used it in his song El baño. Novios means boyfriends but he was talking to a girl. So he can't be saying We are boyfriends unless somebody can tell me Enrique Iglesias is gay or bi. othere wise what does "Si somo novios" mean?

Hi Jimmy, nice to meet you!
It's just a wrong translation.
In Spanish when we say "novios" is applied to the couple (in general).
Novio (singular - male) means boyfriend.
Novia (singular - female) means girlfriend.
But Novios (plural - male) means Couple.
"Nosotros somos novios"- we are a couple.
Enrique Iglesias wanted to say: "Si somos novios".... if we are a couple.
Happy to help you.
Regards!

Novios es en plural, no define el sexo de la pareja

Hola Jimmy. Como bien dices, novio es boyfriend y novia es girlfriend, pero en plural, Novios, además de significar boyfriends, también significa "pareja" en la frase que tú has dicho: "Somos novios = I am his girlfriend and he is my boyfriend", then, we are "novios" = we are a couple
