[English]

I’ve got a manic mind, my girl’s tattooed, and I’m stuffed like a pig

For protection, I’ve got my AK locked in the truck, in case someone attacks

Beautiful women get jealous when I go out with other girls

They know I’m smooth, that’s why I thrive, and no one can tame me

Are you in or out? Do you fall for me or do I fall for you? I’m never bitter

I don’t dance tango, but I make her dance, I’m all about mambo, drinking, and going wild

Ladies, you come with the Millionaire, hitting clubs past closing time

Buzzing daily in your neighborhood, and lady boobs gets turned on

She’s got them pink, here’s another track for her, to get her fired up

And she’ll record herself touching for the crew, no dry laws here

They always sell us beer, I don’t care if it’s sweet

Intellectual or street, as long as the girl’s hot

It’s all the same to me if she’s American

Argentine, Chilean, Dominican, or Puerto Rican

My flow takes over the dance floor, their butts conquer me

With their hips, they hypnotize and turn me on

They love to fly and fly and fly

While I make them dance and they take a trip

They love to fly and fly and fly

While I make them dance and they drink whiskey

They love to fly and fly and fly

While I make them dance and they take a molly

They love to fly and fly and fly

While I make them dance and throw them money

I’ll leave my exotic dancer paralyzed

With her robotic spine, the cash rains down automatically

So dynamic, so erotic, she explodes like volcanic lava

The neighbors are our fans, they throw us crazy looks

Through the window, all week long, they don’t give a damn

If they want banana, Monterrey girl, or Venezuelan

They’re all the same, they all want my cash, it’s Monday, bring the pipe

To keep it smooth like Juan Camaney, if you bore me, I’m out

Home runs with the baseball bat, pure cartel, the bass thunders

I’m feeling hot, I want a girl with a hot butt

Who’ll suck it, get me hard, and go for it

When I wink, it feels so good, bouncing on the bed, the kid’s smiling

I drink fine wines you’ve never heard of, dogs are shutting down their speakers

In trucks and fast cars, on yachts and planes, that’s how the old guys roll

I’ll buy her a drink, girl, don’t know when the money hits

From the club to the hotel, I rip off her clothes, she’s with me ’cause she’s wild and naughty

No rush, the plane lands, what they say about me doesn’t matter, it makes me laugh

Happy, I live life joyfully, their butts burn, and my nose itches

(Their butts burn, and my nose itches)

(Their butts burn, ha)

They love to fly and fly and fly

While I make them dance and they take a trip

They love to fly and fly and fly

While I make them dance and they drink whiskey

They love to fly and fly and fly

While I make them dance and they take a molly

They love to fly and fly and fly

While I make them dance and throw them money

...

(Their butts burn, and my nose itches)

[Spanish]

Tengo la mente maniáca, tatuada la flaca, empachada la paca

Pa' protección tengo el AK clavado en la troca por si alguien me ataca

Hembras hermosas, se ponen celosas si salgo con otras chamacas

Saben que traigo con queso, por eso progreso y ninguna me aplaca

¿Viene o le saca, caes o te caigo, sales o salgo? Yo nunca me amargo

No bailo tango, pero la bailo, ando con mambo tomando y loqueando

Mamis, vienes con el Millonario en antros fuera de horario

Zumbando diario en tu barrio y a lady teta le excita

Ella las tiene rositas, ahí le va la otra rolita, pa' que se prenda

Y se grabe tocándose pa' la clika, aquí no aplica ley seca

Siempre nos venden cerveza, no me interesa si es fresa

Intelectual o cholita, con que la chica esté rica

Me da lo mismo si es gringa

Si es argentina o chilena, dominicana o boricua

Mi flow invade la pista, sus culitos me conquistan

Con la cadera hipnotizan y les excita

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y se comen un tripi

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y toman un whisky

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y se toman un molly

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y les aviento money

La voy a dejar paralítica a mi bailarina exótica

Con la columna robótica, la feria me llueve automática

Bien dinámica, bien erótica, explota como lava volcánica

Las vecinas son nuestras fanáticas, nos avientan miradas maniáticas

Por la ventana, toda la semana, les vale verga

Si quieren banana, regiomontana o venezolana

Son igualitas, todas quieren mi lana, ya es lunes mais, la pipa te traes

Para andar bien Juan Camaneis, si me aburres le caes

Homerunes' con el bate de beis', pura cártel que retumbe el bass

Me siento caliente, quiero una lady con el culo caliente

Que me la chupe, me la pare y se aviente

Si cuando guiño qué rico se siente, rebote en la cama y el niño sonriente

Tomo vinos finos que ni conoces, van cerrando perros sus altavoces

En trocones y en carros veloces, en yates y aviones andan los viejones

Yo le invito una copa, loca, no sepa cuando el mili te topa

Del antro pal' hotel yo le arranco la ropa, la traigo conmigo por puta y perrota

Sin prisa, el avión aterriza, lo que hablen de mí me da igual, me da risa

Contento, me la vivo feliz, les arde el culo y a mí la nariz

(Les arde el culo y a mí, la nariz)

(Les arde el culo, ha)

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y se comen un tripi

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y toman un whisky

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y se toman un molly

A ellas le gusta volar y volar y volar

Mientras las pongo a bailar y les aviento money

(Les arde el culo y a mí, la nariz)

Key Grammar Structures

• Pa' protección tengo el AK clavado en la troca por *si* alguien me ataca

  ➔ Purpose clause with "por si" + indicative

  ➔ The phrase "por *si* alguien me ataca" means "in case someone attacks me". "*si*" introduces a possible future event.

• ¿Viene o le saca, caes o te caigo, sales o salgo?

  ➔ Present indicative used to list alternatives

  ➔ Each verb ("*viene*", "*caes*", "*te caigo*", "*sales*", "*salgo*") is in the present indicative, presenting possible actions.

• No bailo tango, *pero* la bailo

  ➔ Contrasting conjunction "pero"

  ➔ "*pero*" connects two clauses with opposite ideas: "I don't dance tango" versus "but I do dance it".

• Me da lo mismo *si* es gringa

  ➔ Idiomatic phrase "me da lo mismo" + conditional "si" clause

  ➔ "*si*" introduces the condition "if she is American"; the whole phrase means "I don’t care if she’s American".

• A ellas le *gusta* volar y volar y volar

  ➔ Impersonal construction with gustar + infinitive

  ➔ "*gusta*" is used in the impersonal form; the literal translation is "to them it pleases to fly" → "they like to fly".

• Mientras las pongo a bailar y se *comen* un tripi

  ➔ Temporal conjunction "mientras" + present indicative for simultaneous actions

  ➔ "*mientras*" introduces an action occurring at the same time as "las pongo a bailar"; both verbs are in the present indicative.

• Si *quieren* banana, regiomontana o venezolana

  ➔ Conditional clause "si" + present indicative

  ➔ "*si*" introduces a possible condition; the verb "quieren" is in the present indicative, indicating a real or likely situation.

• Yo nunca *me amargo*

  ➔ Reflexive verb with adverb of frequency

  ➔ "*me amargo*" is a reflexive verb meaning "I get bitter/annoyed"; "nunca" (never) modifies the verb to express that the speaker never feels that way.

• La feria me *llueve* automática

  ➔ Dative pronoun "me" with impersonal verb "llover" (metaphorical use)

  ➔ The verb "llover" normally means “to rain”. Here "*me llueve*" uses the dative "me" to personify the rain as something that “hits me”, a figurative way to say “money showers on me”.
