[English]

If your body asks me for a wish (Ladies and gentlemen)

I calm it down when there's perreo (The management)

And suddenly I remember the old times

Everyone stuck close, the club, dancing

Look at her well, really close

Now it's time for the wall

Put on the dembow, pam pam pam

Now it is

If your body asks me for a wish

I calm it down when there's perreo

And suddenly I remember the old times

Everyone stuck close, the club, dancing

Look at her well, really close

Now it's time for the wall

Put on the dembow, pam pam pam

Now it is

For the club, I invite you, with you I melt

Baby, who are you?

Come on, dance for me softly and give me a little bit

You are the boss of the house and I'm your little dog

And she shakes it, tells me to undress her

To kiss her neck and not pretend

I do it to make her sweat

Beautiful, she wants me to help

She tells me let's go down, but the tiger brings her up

If your body asks me for a wish

I calm it down when there's perreo

And suddenly I remember the old times

Everyone stuck close, the club, dancing

Look at her well, really close

Now it's time for the wall

Put on the dembow, pam pam pam

Now it is

If your body follows me, we enter the game

And if you remember, don’t leave it for later

Throw all that over here or I’ll go over there

Or I’ll go over there again

In a corner, watching you, kissing you all over

Baby, I take you with me

I see you grinding for a while, you want to give me a touch

DJ, turn up the volume so the club tears it up

How do you say baby? (Daddy, you know me)

My girl dances like she's in heat, it makes my hair stand up

The drink with a lot of ice

And she wants it, escapes through the window

And parties with me until morning

Everyone knows the powers have arrived, women get activated

She sticks to me dancing and says what she wants

We made this perreo so you can fly

Bring me the tequila so you rebel

If your body asks me for a wish

I calm it down when there's perreo

And suddenly I remember the old times

Everyone stuck close, the club, dancing

Look at her well, really close

Now it's time for the wall

Put on the dembow, pam pam pam

Now it is

If your body asks me for a wish

I calm it down when there's perreo

And suddenly I remember the old times

Everyone stuck close, the club, dancing

Look at her well, really close

Now it's time for the wall

Put on the dembow, pam pam pam

Now it is (Now it is)

The recipe that makes women addicted

W, Yandel (Jumbo the one who produces alone)

Oh, the real chemist, Yandel (J Candle)

The original recipe, your idols

The comeback, what you didn’t do in five years

We’re going to do it in six months

Start counting the vacation days

Very hard (The management)

We are hard, daddy

Wisin and Yandel

[Spanish]

Si tu cuerpo me pide un deseo (Damas y Caballeros)

Te lo calmo cuando hay perreo (La gerencia)

Y de repente recuerdo lo viejo

To' el mundo pega'o, la disco, bailoteo

Mírala bien, bien pega'o

Ahora es que es pa' la pared

Ponle dembow, pam pam pam

Ahora es

Si tu cuerpo me pide un deseo

Te lo calmo cuando hay perreo

Y de repente recuerdo lo viejo

To' el mundo pega'o, la disco, bailoteo

Mírala bien, bien pega'o

Ahora es que es pa' la pared

Ponle Dembow, pam pam pam

Ahora es

Pa' la disco te invito, contigo me derrito

Baby, ¿quién tú eres?

Dale báilame suavecito y dame un pedacito

Tú eres la jefa de la casa y yo soy tu perrito

Y lo sacude, me dice que la desnude

Que le bese el cuello y que no disimule

Yo lo hago pa' que sude

Bella, quiere que la ayude

Me dice vamos pa' abajo, pero el tigre la sube

Si tu cuerpo me pide un deseo

Te lo calmo cuando hay perreo

Y de repente recuerdo lo viejo

To' el mundo pega'o, la disco, bailoteo

Mírala bien, bien pega'o

Ahora es que es pa' la pared

Ponle dembow, pam pam pam

Ahora es

Si tu cuerpo me sigue, entramo' en el juego

Y si recuerdas, no lo dejes pa' luego

Echa to' eso para acá o voy pa' allá

O voy pa' allá de nuevo

En una esquina acequiarte, toda besarte

Baby, conmigo te llevo

Te veo froteando hace rato, tú me quieres dar un roze

DJ sube el volumen pa' que la disco destroce

¿Cómo es que tú dices baby? (Papito, tú me conoces)

Mi gata baila como si estuviera en celo, me para los pelos

El trago con mucho hielo

Y es que tiene ganas, se escapa por la ventana

Y parisea conmigo hasta por la mañana

Todos saben que llegaron los poderes, se activan las mujeres

Se me pega bailando y dice que quiere

Hicimos este perreo para que vueles

Tráeme la tequila para que te reveles

Si tu cuerpo me pide un deseo

Te lo calmo cuando hay perreo

Y de repente recuerdo lo viejo

To' el mundo pega'o, la disco, bailoteo

Mírala bien, bien pega'o

Ahora es que es pa' la pared

Ponle dembow, pam pam pam

Ahora es

Si tu cuerpo me pide un deseo

Te lo calmo cuando hay perreo

Y de repente recuerdo lo viejo

To' el mundo pega'o, la disco, bailoteo'

Mírala bien, bien pega'o

Ahora es que es pa' la pared

Ponle dembow, pam pam pam

Ahora es (Ahora es)

La receta que pone adicta a las mujeres

W, Yandel (Jumbo el que produce solo)

Ay, el verdadero químico, Yandel (J Candle)

La receta original, los ídolos tuyos

El regreso, lo que ustedes no hiciceron en cinco años

Nosotros lo vamos a hacer en seis meses

Comiencen a contar los días de vacaciones

Muy duro (La gerencia)

Somos unos duros, papi

Wisin y Yandel
