I wondered why I had such a hard time finding the meaning of the original lyric. J.Iglesias' lyrics available online give the word as salá, which I couldn't find except as a conjugated form of salar, or the noun for room (both with no tilde). There was no English translation so I used the french translation and translated it to English only to come up with what I thought it must be originally: salt water.
Thank you got the gramatical correction and a good explanation.

Thanks, I thought that must be what was happening, especially since it was from a song lyric, I figured it was being used that way to provide the proper number of syllables.

"salá"¨ is a transcription of the way many Spanish speakers would (informally) say "salada" (i.e. the 'd' is not being pronounced). By the same token, the masculine form of the adjective will often be pronounced "salao" (again, not pronouncing the 'd'). This is not uncommon with (adjectives derived from ) past participles.

I think that would be fresh water, salt water
