[English]

Ladies and gentlemen

You are about to witness a musical evolution

De La Ghetto (Arcángel in the house)

Yaga & Mackie (De La Ghetto)

That's right, that's right

Apparently, no, they don't want you with me

Oh no, oh no

If only you knew that I've got my own too

Oh no, oh no

Apparently, no, they don't want you with me

Oh no, oh no

If only you knew that I've got my own too

Oh no, oh no

Oh baby, your dad doesn't like me for my style, baby

For how much I love you, darling, oh baby

Because he doesn't know what I feel, darling, oh baby

And I just can’t understand

Your dad thinks that because I’m from the hood, I don’t matter

But I’ve got plenty of class

Diamonds, pleasures, and all kinds of scents

Nothing to envy, I’ve got money in abundance

If you want, I can take you

To a safe place you’ll really like

Uh, it feels good

Kissing you feels so good, ey

I’m taking you to my alley

Lots of beautiful things you'll enjoy

Uh, you’re going to love it

I know you’re going to love it, oh

Apparently, no, they don't want you with me

Oh no, oh no

If only you knew that I've got my own too

Oh no, oh no

Apparently, no, they don't want you with me

Oh no, oh no

If only you knew that I've got my own too

Oh no, oh no

Forget about Richie Rich and call my cell

My style is like this, real Machiavellian

Don’t be surprised

Check out how my jewelry shines (oh yeah)

I don't know what you think about me

But I know I caught your attention, darling

Don't search any more, follow me

Look at me closely

Oh, yeah man, yeah man

I know you do too

...

She got the body and the looks to kill

Blue eyes, brown skin, make a guy feel weak, girl

Ooh, you know it’s real, girl

Ooh, can’t you see, girl?

Forgive me for being bold

When I get close to your body

Your skin excites me

If you want me, kiss me on the lips

Apparently, no, they don't want you with me

Oh no, oh no

If only you knew that I've got my own too

Oh no, oh no

Apparently, no, they don't want you with me

Oh no, oh no

If only you knew that I (if you knew, ma) have my own too (I've got my own too, haha)

Oh no, oh no (Arcángel in the house)

  ➔ Negative present indicative (double negative)

  ➔ The verb "quieren" is in the present indicative and is negated twice by “no” before the verb and “no” before the object, which is common in Spanish for emphasis.

• Si tú supieras que yo también tengo lo mío

  ➔ Past subjunctive in a conditional clause (Si + past subjunctive)

  ➔ "supieras" is the past subjunctive of "saber" used after "si" to express an unreal or hypothetical condition.

• Por lo mucho que te quiero, mami

  ➔ Por + noun phrase expressing cause (causal preposition)

  ➔ "Por" introduces the cause: "lo mucho que te quiero" (the great amount that I love you).

• Yo sé que tú también

  ➔ Statement with 'saber' + 'que' introducing a subordinate clause

  ➔ "sé" (from "saber") is followed by the conjunction "que" introducing the clause "tú también" (you too).

• No sé lo que piensas *de mí*

  ➔ Negative knowledge verb + interrogative clause (no + saber + que)

  ➔ "No sé" is the negative form of "saber"; it is followed by the interrogative clause "lo que piensas de mí" (what you think about me).

• Bésame la boca

  ➔ Imperative mood with attached direct object pronoun (bésame = be + me)

  ➔ "Bésame" combines the imperative of "besar" (kiss) with the enclitic pronoun "me" (me).

• Porque no sabe lo que siento, mami

  ➔ Causal conjunction "porque" + indicative clause

  ➔ "Porque" introduces the reason for the previous statement, followed by the indicative verb "sabe" (he/she doesn’t know).
