[English]

I’ve wanted to see you for a long time

I’m looking for a way to have your body

Neither your father nor your mother want us together

So let’s make love over the phone.

I’ve wanted to see you for a long time

I’m looking for a way to have your body

Neither your father nor your mother want us together

So let’s make love over the phone.

Just keep my phone number

so when you feel lonely, you can

call me, remember I’ll be here

for you at all hours.

Just keep my phone number

so when you feel lonely, you can

call me, remember I’ll be here

for you at all hours.

Listen to W

Doll, call collect

Now I know it

I want to touch you.

Entangle you in the web

Stick you to the wall

to worship you.

So let go

shine, seduce me.

Come on, take advantage

light up, set yourself free

and heat up.

Go on, take advantage.

I’ve wanted to see you for a long time

I’m looking for a way to have your body

Neither your father nor your mother want us together

So let’s make love over the phone.

I’ve wanted to see you for a long time

I’m looking for a way to have your body

Neither your father nor your mother want us together

So let’s make love over the phone.

She calls me on private

She likes it ready

I’ll eat her in one bite

Baby, I want your circus

I’ll confiscate your number

You call her, and I’ll tease her.

That girl, I’ll throw you off a cliff

Tease her and tell her I’m just as wild.

Your guy is a tease

Jalisco style, gangster like I sanctify.

Just keep my phone number

so when you feel lonely, you can

call me, remember I’ll be here

for you at all hours.

Y solo ten mi numero telefonico

so when you feel lonely, you can

call me, remember I’ll be here

for you at all hours.

I’ve wanted to see you for a long time

I’m looking for a way to have your body

Neither your father nor your mother want us together

So let’s make love over the phone.

I’ve wanted to see you for a long time

I’m looking for a way to have your body

Neither your father nor your mother want us together

So let’s make love over the phone.

Hey clown, for you to make a

song like this is easy

you’d have to be reborn.

Hunger and sleep are what

you have.

W the survivor with Yandel

Hector El Father

Hey baby

Stay calm, there won’t be any

trouble, okay.

...

You’re with me

Tainy jaa!

Key Grammar Structures

• Hace mucho tiempo que te quiero ver

  ➔ Use of 'hace + time + que + present tense' to express duration.

  ➔ The word 'hace' introduces a time expression meaning 'it’s been a long time since I want to see you.'

• busco la manera de tu cuerpo tener

  ➔ Use of infinitive after preposition 'de'.

  ➔ The structure 'de + infinitive' (here, 'de tener') means 'the way to have your body'.

• ni tu padre, ni tu madre te quieren conmigo

  ➔ Double negation with 'ni... ni...' meaning 'neither... nor...'.

  ➔ The repetition of 'ni' joins two negative subjects: 'neither your father nor your mother want you with me'.

• hagamos el amor por el teléfono

  ➔ Use of first person plural subjunctive in exhortation ('hagamos').

  ➔ The verb 'hagamos' comes from 'hacer' in the subjunctive, expressing 'let’s make love by phone'.

• Y solo ten mi número telefónico

  ➔ Imperative mood used for giving instruction ('ten').

  ➔ The imperative 'ten' comes from 'tener', meaning 'just have my phone number'.

• para cuando te sientas sola

  ➔ Subjunctive used after conjunction 'cuando' for uncertain future.

  ➔ The verb 'sientas' is in the subjunctive, used because 'cuando' refers to a possible future time ('when you feel lonely').

• ella me llama en asterisco

  ➔ Present tense for habitual or current actions.

  ➔ The verb 'llama' (calls) indicates a repeated or habitual action — 'she calls me (using the asterisk)'.

• yo te tiro por un risco

  ➔ Preposition 'por' expressing movement through or cause.

  ➔ The preposition 'por' indicates movement: 'I throw you off a cliff'.
