[English]

9 a.m. in the city

I’ve already landed

I want to eat your little butt, I skipped breakfast today

I’m going to grab you by the hair

See your neck tattoo

That’s your seal

I came just to see you

I want my prize

I’ve been in the city for ten hours

But I’ve already been doing it for nine

You already cancelled two Didis

And your friends are calling you

So nice, okay

I’ll see you later to do it again (let me know)

He/She comes on the way to the hotel lobby

The smell of tobacco when I kissed you

And I know you don’t smoke

You arrived at 1:00

Somewhat distracted

Either way, I nailed you

Me here thinking I was the only one

But something tells me that’s not the case anymore, baby

Me here thinking I was the only one

But something tells me that’s not the case anymore, baby

I call CA7RIEL and say: “this crazy girl has got me messed up”

And Cato says: “I also have a girl playing with me”

Big butt, beautiful eyes, straight hair, tattoo on the neck

Long legs and when I kiss her

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

Neck tattoo? Yes

Black hair? Yes

Silicone? Yes

Did you see each other last night? Yes

Fuck!

We’ve been fucking the same girl

You, at night, and me, during the day—who would have thought?

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck

Me here thinking I was the only one

But something tells me that’s not the case anymore, baby

Me here thinking I was the only one

But something tells me that’s not the case anymore, baby

Me here thinking I was the only one

But something tells me that’s not the case anymore, baby

Me here thinking I was the only one

But something tells me that’s not the case anymore, baby

...

[Spanish]

9 a.m. en la city

Ya aterricé

Quiero comer tu culito, que hoy no desayuné

Voy a agarrarte del pelo

Ver tu tatuaje del cuello

Ese es tu sello

Vine solo para verte

Quiero mi premio

Hace diez horas que estoy en la city

Pero ya voy nueve dándote

Ya cancelaste dos Didis

Y tus amigas llamándote

So nice, okey

Te veo después pa' darte again (dímelo)

Viene de camino al lobby del hotel

Olor a tabaco cuando te besé

Y sé que tú no fumas

Llegaste a la 1:00

Algo distraída

Igual te clavé

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no, bebé

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no, bebé

Lo llamo a CA7RIEL y le digo: "esta loca me tiene jodido"

Y Cato me dice: "también tengo a una jugando conmigo"

El culo grande, los ojos bellos, el pelo lacio, tatuaje en el cuello

Las piernas largas y cuando la beso

Pará, pará, pará, pará, pará, pará

¿Tatuaje en el cuello? Sí

¿El pelo negro? Sí

¿De silicona? Sí

¿Se vieron anoche? Sí

Fuck!

We've been fucking the same girl

Tú, por la noche y yo, por el día, ¿quién lo diría?

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no, bebé

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no, bebé

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no bebé

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no, bebé
