Lyrics & Translation

Learning Spanish through 'Después de la Playa' is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in Caribbean slang and cultural references. This song is special because it acts as a rhythmic introduction to Dominican musical traditions and the casual, social language of summer nightlife in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

[English]

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah - Eh-eh

Yeah, yeah - Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh

You say I don't dare - If only you knew I'm on fire

Tell me what game you're playing and I'll play it - Let's not leave it for later, no

Because the light is gone - And the night has arrived, ey

I want to know if you want the same as me - Tell me where we're going after the beach

If we dry off, I'll bring the towel - And we'll get wet again, but in my bed

I'm gonna give you a ride on a surfboard, yeah - Tell me where we're going after the beach

If we dry off, I'll bring the towel - And we'll get wet again, but in my bed

I'm gonna give you a ride on a surfboard, baby

Tell me, are we going to party or are we not going to party? You tell me, mami

Let's go

What? - Ey, ey, ey

Today's the day, yeah - Uh

Ey - Tell me where we're going after the beach

If we dry off, I'll bring the towel - And we'll get wet again, but in my bed

I'm gonna give you a ride on a surfboard, baby - Mami, you live far away (What?)

But I'm gonna come pick you up anyway (Wuh) - Because you're hot and you

deserve it (You're fine) - Right in front of the sea is where

I want to give it to you (Ah, ah, ah) - So all the fish get excited (Wuh)

And you're wet, I'm - ready to surf you ('m ready)

Relax, I know this happens sometimes (Normal) - The other time at the beach you got drunk

And asked me to kiss you (How was it?), yeah - How?

Ey, ey, ey, ey, ey, ey, ey, ey

Light it up, light it up, light it up

How? - I'm feeling myself

Don't let anyone call me today, okay? - I'm gonna drink it all (Ha)

Ey, everyone's drunk dancing on the beach - Feeling the heat, feeling the heat

You've been staring and staring for a while - Get closer, get closer

Everyone's talking about that body in all the barbershops - And at the corner store,

and at the corner store (How?) - Ey, your boyfriend thinks he's Romeo

And I'm gonna do him like Don - I'm gonna do him like Don, what, what, what?

I went out with your woman - God already forgave me, you're the only one left

What, what, what? - I'm drunk, drunk

Ey, ey, ey, ey, ey, ey

What do you think of this?

I'm not slowing down, okay?

Don't slow down, don't slow down

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah (How?) - Ey, ey, ey, ey, ey

What a party - Ey, ey, ey, ey, ey

Don't let it stop - Ey, ey, ey, ey

Where are we going? Where are we going? - Tell me, after this

Look - And who is this guy?

Grabbing a beer from the cooler, you, eh

Is he with us? - Ah, okay, okay, okay, okay, let's go
