[English]

Maluma, baby

The sun barely rises and you rush away

I know you’ll think this is hurting me

I’m not thinking about what you’re doing

If we’re strangers but love this way

If you stay with me or leave with someone else

I don’t give a damn ’cause I know you’ll come back

If you stay with me or leave with someone else

I don’t give a damn ’cause I know you’ll come back

And if you spend time with another

Let’s be happy, let’s be happy

Happy the four of us

We’ll make room for one more

And if you spend time with another

Let’s be happy, let’s be happy

Happy the four of us

I’ll take the deal

And we’ll do it all the time

And we’ll do it all the time

And we’ll do it all the time

And we’ll do it all the time

And we’ll do it all the time

What we have doesn’t need a contract

Just enjoy and feel the impact

The boom-boom burning your siren’s body

Relax, I don’t believe in contracts (and you less)

Every time you leave, you come back to me (and happy the four of us)

We don’t care what they say, we like it this way (we’ll make room, baby)

Every time you leave, you come back to me (and happy the four of us)

We don’t care what they say, we’re two of a kind

And if you spend time with another

Let’s be happy, let’s be happy

Happy the four of us

We’ll make room for one more

And if you spend time with another

Let’s be happy, let’s be happy

Happy the four of us

I’ll take the deal

And we’ll do it all the time

And we’ll do it all the time

And we’ll do it all the time

And we’ll do it all the time

If you stay with me or leave with someone else

I don’t give a damn ’cause I know you’ll come back

If you stay with me or leave with someone else

I don’t give a damn ’cause I know you’ll come back

And if you spend time with another

Let’s be happy, let’s be happy

Happy the four of us

We’ll make room for one more

And if you spend time with another

Let’s be happy, let’s be happy

Happy the four of us

I’ll take the deal

And we’ll do it all the time

And we’ll do it all the time

And we’ll do it all the time

And we’ll do it all the time

Every time you leave, you come back to me (Maluma, baby)

We don’t care what they say, we like it this way (Kevin ADG y Chan El Genio)

Every time you leave, you come back to me (The secret code, baby)

We don’t care what they say, we’re two of a kind

That’s how destiny wanted it, mami

Muah

[Spanish]

Maluma, baby

Apenas sale el sol y tú te vas corriendo

Sé que pensarás que esto me está doliendo

Yo no estoy pensando en lo que estás haciendo

Si somos ajenos y así nos queremos

Si conmigo te quedas o con otro tú te vas

No me importa un carajo porque sé que volverás

Si conmigo te quedas o con otro tú te vas

No me importa un carajo porque sé que volverás

Y si con otro pasas el rato

Vamo' a ser feliz, vamo' a ser feliz

Felices los 4

Te agrandamo' el cuarto

Y si con otro pasas el rato

Vamo' a ser feliz, vamo' a ser feliz

Felices los 4

Yo te acepto el trato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Y lo hacemo' to'rato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Lo nuestro no depende de un pacto

Disfruta y solo siente el impacto

El boom-boom que te quema ese cuerpo de sirena

Tranquila, que no creo en contratos (y tú menos)

Y siempre que se va, regresa a mí (y felices los 4)

No importa el qué dirán, nos gusta así (agrandamos el cuarto, baby)

Y siempre que se va, regresa a mí (y felices los 4)

No importa el qué dirán, somos tal para cual

Y si con otro pasas el rato

Vamo' a ser feliz, vamo' a ser feliz

Felices los 4

Te agrandamo' el cuarto

Y si con otro pasas el rato

Vamo' a ser feliz, vamo' a ser feliz

Felices los 4

Yo te acepto el trato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Si conmigo te quedas o con otro tú te vas

No me importa un carajo porque sé que volverás

Si conmigo te quedas o con otro tú te vas

No me importa un carajo porque sé que volverás

Y si con otro pasas el rato

Vamo' a ser feliz, vamo' a ser feliz

Felices los 4

Te agrandamo' el cuarto

Y si con otro pasas el rato

Vamo' a ser feliz, vamo' a ser feliz

Felices los 4

Yo te acepto el trato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Y lo hacemo' to' rato

Y siempre que se va, regresa a mí (Maluma, baby)

No importa el qué dirán, nos gusta así (Kevin ADG y Chan El Genio)

Y siempre que se va, regresa a mí (El código secreto, baby)

No importa el qué dirán, somos tal para cual

Así lo quiso el destino, mami

Muah

Key Grammar Structures

• Apenas sale el sol y tú te vas corriendo

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood in Time Clauses

  ➔ Uses the subjunctive after "apenas" because it expresses an action that hasn't necessarily happened yet. "Apenas sale el sol" uses the present subjunctive.

• Sé que pensarás que esto me está doliendo

  ➔ Subjunctive in Noun Clauses after verbs of thinking and feeling (sometimes)

  ➔ Even though "pensar" is a verb of thinking, it's used in the affirmative here and expressing a belief. Therefore the indicative "pensarás" is used. The use of "que esto me está doliendo" is indicative because it's presented as a fact.

• Si conmigo te quedas o con otro tú te vas, No me importa un carajo porque sé que volverás

  ➔ Conditional Sentences (Zero Conditional - General Truth)

  ➔ Although seemingly a type 1 conditional, it shows his certainty. So the use of the indicative instead of the subjunctive expresses a sense of inevitable return. The "Si" implies an unchangeable situation in his mind.

• Vamo' a ser feliz, vamo' a ser feliz

  ➔ Ir + a + Infinitive (Expressing Future)

  ➔ "Vamo' a ser" is a colloquial contraction of "Vamos a ser". This construction is used to express an intention or a plan for the near future.

• Te agrandamo' el cuarto

  ➔ Pronoun Omission (Subject Pronoun)

  ➔ The subject pronoun "nosotros" is omitted. It's implied by the verb conjugation "agrandamo'". This is common in Spanish, especially in informal contexts.

• Y lo hacemo' to' rato

  ➔ Direct Object Pronoun + Verb (Word order)

  ➔ "Lo" is a direct object pronoun referring to an understood object. In Spanish, direct object pronouns usually precede the verb. "Hacemo'" is a colloquial way to say "hacemos".

• Tranquila, que no creo en contratos

  ➔ Subjunctive in Noun Clauses after expressions of disbelief.

  ➔ Normally, after verbs of thinking like "creer" in affirmative form you would use the indicative. However, here it is negative "no creo", which often triggers the subjunctive if the speaker is casting doubt on something. In this sentence the indicative is used which implies that he is certain he doesn't believe in contracts.
