[English]

Straight from the north without cuts

looking real good, put on

They ask if I believe, I don't see it, tell me where

I only see her at the meeting, I talk to her and she doesn't respond

life already made us, at 11 being tough guys

You'll hear my name, always after scoring goals

In your fucking face when it ends like Iniesta in London

And if punches come, like Porto Molt

With 2k in a wad, but stealing the pump

I remember bro still alive

(Eh, eh)

When everything seemed like my fault

When I was between drugs and the police station

And I only had 3: the lake, Elena, and María

Here there's extra quality, at 30 meters and at the foot

They go to the gym but wear ballet socks

Everything that comes kid, they come close for a reason

That's why I put it on four but never loved it

From Colegón and wants to see you sad

Telling the rum you're welcome here

I toast to my two

With my Barceló

Who are on and off

Here we're not for jokes

She has no education, and thinks she's like the coach

wants to score a goal

No, no, no, no

I ask the guy for a rum

He asks what with

Pure doesn't mix, dude neither Coke nor Monster

Me with my carpe diem, they prefer beer

It's weird how instead of Ramos, they put Laporte

Not a penny from the mountains, Ballon d'Or and golden

My heart is Jackie Chan, watch it doesn't break

Fucking is my sport

Even Torbe doesn't reach me

I always chill with a MILF like Patricia Conde

I remember bro still alive

When everything seemed like my fault

When everything seemed like my fault

When I was between drugs and the police station

And I only had 3: the lake, Elena, and María

Without career or FP, with two balls the Che

With joy searching and my pains on the licence

Now I communicate on TT, remember when I called

A bother, I play hard to get like Mbappé

From Colegón and wants to see you sad

Telling the rum you're welcome here

I toast to my two

With my Barceló

Who are on and off

Here we're not for jokes

She has no education, and thinks she's like the coach

wants to score a goal

No, no, no, no

[Spanish]

Del norte va sin corte

ta' to buena ponte

Me preguntan si creo, no le veo dime donde

solo la veo en la conver, le hablo y no me responde

la vida nos hizo ya, con 11 ser putos hombres

Escuchará mi nombre, siempre después de gol de

En tu puta cara cuando acaba como Iniesta en Londres

Y si me vienen golpes, como la porta Molt be

Con 2 mil en un fajo, pero robando la bombe

Recuerdo brother todavía

(Eh, eh)

Cuando todo parecía mala mía

Cuando estaba entre droga y comisaría

Y solo tenía 3: el lago, Elena y la María

Aquí sobra qualité, a 30 metros y al pie

Se van de gyzz pero ponen calcetines de ballet

To' lo que venga nené, se acercan por un porque

Por eso la ponía a cuatro pero nunca la amé

Va de Colegón y quiere verte triste

Diciéndole al ron que bueno que viniste

Brindo por mis dos

Con mi Barceló

Que son de quita y pon

Aquí no estamos pa' chistes

No tiene educación, y se cree como el míster

quiere meterte gol

No, no, no, no

Le pido un ron al hombre

Me pregunta que con qué

Lo puro no se mezcla, puto ni Coca ni Monster

Yo con mi carpe noctem, ellos prefieren corte

Es raro como en vez de Ramos, poner a Laporte

Ni un pijo yo de monte, balón d'or y golden

Mi corazón es Jackie Chan, mira que no se rompe

Follar es mi deporte

No me llega ni el Torbe

Yo siempre chill con una milf como Patricia Conde

Recuerdo brother todavía

(Eh, eh)

Cuando todo parecía mala mía

Cuando estaba entre droga y comisaría

Y solo tenía 3: el lago, Elena y la María

Sin carrera ni FP, con dos cojones el Che

Con la alegría en busca y con mis penas en el carnet

Ahora comunico TT, recuerda cuando llamé

Un molestar, yo me hago de rogar como el Mbappé

Va de Colegón y quiere verte triste

Diciéndole al ron que bueno que viniste

Brindo por mis dos

Con mi Barceló

Que son de quita y pon

Aquí no estamos pa' chistes

No tiene educación, y se cree como el míster

quiere meterte gol

No, no, no, no
