[English]

Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh

Another beautiful sunset I see in San Juan

Enjoying all those things that those who leave miss

Enjoying nights like the ones that don't happen anymore

That don't happen anymore

But wanting to return

To the last time

That I looked you in the eyes

And tell you the things I didn't tell you (you look like my crush, ha, ha)

And take the pictures I didn't take of you

Acho, dude, act cute, let me take a picture of you

Ey, my chest is bare, I went for a tan

My heart kicking me

Tell me, baby, where are you

To arrive with Roro, Julito, Cristal

Roy, Édgar, Seba, Óscar, Dalnelly, Big J, playing batá

Today we're leaving the street a mess

And it would be awesome if you played the güiro for me

I see your name and sighs come out of me

I don't know if they are firecrackers or gunshots

My white girl, coke, my kilo

I'm in PR, chill, but

I should have taken more pictures of when I had you

I should have given you more kisses and hugs as many times as I could

Ey, I hope my people never move

And if I get drunk today, well, may they help me

I should have taken more pictures of when I had you

I should have given you more kisses and hugs as many times as I could

I hope my people never move

And if I get drunk today, well, may they help me

Ey, today I'm going to be with grandpa all day playing dominoes

If he asks me if I still think of you, I tell him no

That my stay close to you is over

It's over

Ey, turn on the machines, I'm going to Santurce

Here things still get wild, check out the babies

Damn, mami, how sweet

Today I want to drink, drink, drink

And talk shit until they kick me out

I'm really crazy (I'm really crazy), I'm really crazy (I'm really crazy)

Dude, you drive, because even walking I'm bumping into things

I'm really crazy (I'm really crazy), I'm really crazy (I'm really crazy)

Let's enjoy ourselves, because you never know if we have little left

I should have taken more p-

People, I love you with balls, I love you

Thank you for being here, really

It's really important to me that you're here

Each one of you means a lot to me

So let's go for the photo, come here

Everyone get in, all the crew, let's go

Zumba

Berni already has the baby and Yan, the girl

We're no longer about movies and chains

We're about the things that are worthwhile

Ey, for perreo, salsa, bomba, and plena

Check out mine, how it sounds

I should have taken more pictures of when I had you

I should have given you more kisses and hugs as many times as I could

I hope my people never move

And that you send me more nudes

And if I get drunk today, may Beno help me

Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh

Otro sunset bonito que veo en San Juan

Disfrutando de toda' esas cosas que extrañan los que se van

Disfrutando de noches de esas que ya no se dan

Que ya no se dan

Pero queriendo volver

A la última ve'

Que a los ojos te miré

Y contarte las cosas que no te conté (te pareces a mi crush, ja, ja)

Y tirarte las fotos que no te tiré

Acho, bruto, hazte el lindo, déjame tirarte una foto

Ey, tengo el pecho pelao, me di una matá

El corazón dándome patá'

Dime, baby, dónde tú está

Pa llegarle con Roro, Julito, Cristal

Roy, Édgar, Seba, Óscar, Dalnelly, Big J, tocando batá

Hoy la calle la dejamo esbaratá

Y sería cabrón que tú me toque' el güiro

Yo veo tu nombre y me salen suspiro'

No sé si son petardo' o si son tiro'

Mi blanquita, perico, mi kilo

Yo estoy en PR, tranquilo, pero

Debí tirar más foto' de cuando te tuve

Debí darte más beso' y abrazo' las veces que pude

Ey, ojalá que los mío' nunca se muden

Y si hoy me emborracho, pues, que me ayuden

Debí tirar más fotos de cuando te tuve

Debí darte más beso' y abrazo' las veces que pude

Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden

Y si hoy me emborracho, pues, que me ayuden

Ey, hoy vo'a estar con abuelo to'el día jugando dominó

Si me pregunta si aún pienso en ti, yo le digo que no

Que mi estadía cerquita de ti ya se terminó

Ya se terminó

Ey, que prendan las máquina', voy pa Santurce

Aquí todavía se da caña, chequéate a las babies

Diablo, mami, qué dulce

Hoy yo quiero beber, beber, beber

Y hablar mierda hasta que me expulsen

Toy bien loco (toy bien loco), toy bien loco (toy bien loco)

Cabrón, guía tú, que hasta caminando yo estoy que choco

Toy bien loco (toy bien loco), toy bien loco (toy bien loco)

Vamo a disfrutar, que nunca se sabe si nos queda poco

Debí tirar más f-

Gente, los quiero con cojones, los amo

Gracias por estar aquí, de verdad

Para mí es bien importante que estén aquí

Cada uno de ustedes significa mucho para mí

Así que vamo pa la foto, vengan p'acá

Métase to'el mundo, to'el corillo, vamo

Zumba

Ya Berni tiene el nene y Yan, la nena

Ya no estamo pa las movie' y las cadena'

Tamos pa las cosas que valgan la pena

Ey, pa'l perreo, la salsa, la bomba y la plena

Chequéate la mía cómo es que suena

Debí tirar más fotos de cuando te tuve

Debí darte más beso' y abrazo' las veces que pude

Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden

Y que tú me envíes más nude

Y si hoy me emborracho, que Beno me ayude

Key Grammar Structures

• Otro sunset bonito que veo en San Juan

  ➔ Relative clause using "que"

  ➔ The word "que" introduces a relative clause, connecting "sunset bonito" to the verb "veo". It means "that" or "which" in this context, defining which sunset he's seeing.

• Disfrutando de toda' esas cosas que extrañan los que se van

  ➔ Double relative clause (que extrañan los que se van)

  ➔ This sentence contains two relative clauses. The first is "que extrañan" modifying "esas cosas", and the second is "los que se van" modifying the subject of "extrañan". It means "those things that are missed by those who leave".

• Debí tirar más fotos de cuando te tuve

  ➔ Conditional perfect with regret: Debí + infinitive

  ➔ "Debí tirar" expresses regret about something that should have been done in the past. "Debí" is the conditional perfect of "deber" (should) and indicates that he should have taken more photos. The phrase "de cuando te tuve" (from when I had you) uses the past tense to further specify the time.

• Ojalá que los mío' nunca se muden

  ➔ Expression of wish with "Ojalá que" + subjunctive mood

  ➔ "Ojalá que" (hopefully) is a common expression to express a wish. The verb "muden" (move) is in the subjunctive mood because it's a wish or hope, not a statement of fact.

• Y si hoy me emborracho, pues, que me ayuden

  ➔ Conditional clause with Subjunctive: si + present subjunctive

  ➔ This sentence is a conditional statement, but uses "emborracho" in the present subjunctive mood after "si". Although less common, using the subjunctive after "si" can emphasize uncertainty or a hypothetical situation. It's not a definite fact, but a possibility. "Que me ayuden" expresses a wish using subjunctive

• Hoy vo'a estar con abuelo to'el día jugando dominó

  ➔ Informal Future Tense: ir a + infinitive (vo'a)

  ➔ "Vo'a estar" is a shortened, informal version of "voy a estar," which is the "ir a + infinitive" construction for expressing the near future. It's the equivalent of saying "I am going to be" or "I'm gonna be."

• Si me pregunta si aún pienso en ti, yo le digo que no

  ➔ Indirect question with "si" and reported speech with "que"

  ➔ The sentence includes an indirect question "si aún pienso en ti" which translates to "if I still think about you", and reported speech "que no", reported from 'no'. The word "si" introduces the indirect question, while "que" introduces the reported statement.
