Atrévete, te, te, te

Dare, dare, dare, dare

Salte del closet

Get out of the closet

Escápate, quítate el esmalte

Escape, take off your nail polish

Deja de taparte que nadie va a retratarte

Stop covering up, no one is going to take your picture

Levántate, ponte hyper

Get up, get hyper

Préndete, sácale chispas al estárter

Light it up, spark the starter

Préndete en fuego como un lighter

Ignite like a lighter

Sacúdete el sudor como si fueras un wiper

Shake off the sweat like you're a wiper

Que tu eres callejera, "street fighter"

Because you're streetwise, "street fighter"

Cambia esa cara de seria

Change that serious face

Esa cara de intelectual, de enciclopedia

That intellectual face, like an encyclopedia

Que te voy a inyectar con la bacteria

I'm going to inject you with the bacteria

Pa' que des vuelta como machina de feria

So you turn around like a carnival machine

Señorita intelectual, ya se que tienes

Miss intellectual, I know you have

El área abdominal que va a explotar

The abdominal area that's going to explode

Como fiesta patronal, que va a explotar

Like a patron saint festival, it's going to explode

Como palestino

Like a Palestinian

Yo se que a ti te gusta el pop-rock latino

I know you like Latin pop-rock

Pero es que el reggaeton se te mete por los intestinos

But reggaeton gets into your intestines

Por debajo de la falda como un submarino

Under the skirt like a submarine

Y te saca lo de indio taino

And brings out your Taino roots

Ya tu sabes, en tapa-rabo, mama

You already know, in a thong, mama

En el nombre de agüeybana

In the name of Agüeybana

No hay mas na', para na' que yo te vo'a mentir

There's nothing more, I'm not going to lie to you

Yo se que yo también quiero consumir de tu perejil

I know I also want to consume your parsley

Y tú viniste amazónica como brasil

And you came Amazonian like Brazil

Tú viniste a matarla como "kill bill"

You came to kill it like "Kill Bill"

Tú viniste a beber cerveza de barril

You came to drink draft beer

Tú sabes que tú conmigo tienes refill

Atrévete, te, te, te

Salte del closet, te

Aquí to'a las boricuas saben karate

Mojan el arroz con un poco de aguacate

Pa' cosechar nalgas de 14 quilates
