[English]

Seven lives like a cat, she lives alone

At night she makes money, no crying here

Seven lives, seven boyfriends, seven weddings

Little cat Sephora, she doesn't fall in love

Seven lives like a cat, she lives alone

At night she makes money, no crying here

Seven lives, seven boyfriends, seven weddings

Little cat Sephora, I'm about to get you pregnant now

So you fall in love and start squirting

Truth is you're my karma and this is going to end badly

She gets on the bed on all fours and crawls

I'm too innocent for you to be such a bad gyal

One, two, three, with the flash so you remember me

I have seven reasons to remember you

She is the movie and I've already lived through it

I took her up to the room, but nobody controls her

She's not alone

I'm her favorite for life, any time

And, mommy, now I know you want it with just a "hello"

I come at you with guts and you're into me

What could go wrong?

You're a naughty girl and that's how I'm going to treat you

If you're going to misbehave, I'll put up with you

I don't promise her anything because she won't fall in love

That she has

Seven lives like a cat, she lives alone

At night she makes money, no crying here

Seven lives, seven boyfriends, seven weddings

Little cat Sephora, she doesn't fall in love

So you fall in love and start squirting

Truth is you're my karma and this is going to end badly

She gets on the bed on all fours and crawls

I'm too innocent for you to be such a bad gyal

My Cinderella, take some crystal

She goes out alone and dances alone, but sleeps accompanied

She wants Sergio to be the one who talks to her with his gaze

And for La Pantera to put the dick in her at dawn

She says if I fuck like I rap, she's going to marry me

That if she really likes me, you don't know what's going to happen

Don't even think about it, get on and get off already

And send me a nude to get more inspiration

She takes out her breasts and gives me a Russian BJ

I'm not jealous and she doesn't give me excuses

I upload a story from a 10th floor, smoking sasha

So they remember that she has

Seven lives like a cat, she lives alone

At night she makes money, no crying here

Seven lives, seven boyfriends, seven weddings

Little cat Sephora, I'm about to get you pregnant now

So you fall in love and start squirting

Truth is you're my karma and this is going to end badly

She gets on the bed on all fours and crawls

I'm too innocent for you to be such a bad gyal

[Spanish]

Siete vidas como una gata, ella vive sola

Por las noche' hace plata, aquí no se llora

Siete vidas, siete novio', siete boda'

Gatita Sephora, no se enamora

Siete vida' como una gata, ella vive sola

Por las noche' hace plata, aquí no se llora

Siete vidas, siete novio', siete boda'

Gatita Sephora, estoy que te preño ahora

Pa' que te enamore' y te ponga' a squirtear

Verda' que eres mi karma y que esto va a salir mal

Se sube a la cama en cuatro pata' y a gatear

Yo soy muy fresita pa' que tú seas tan bad gyal

Uno, dos, tre', con el flash pa' que te acuerde' de mí

Tengo siete razone' pa' acordarme de ti

Ella es la película y yo ya me la viví

Pa'l cuarto la subí, pero a ella nadie la controla

No está sola

Yo soy su favorito de por vida a cualquier hora

Y, mami, ahora sé que quiere' con un "hola"

Yo te corro con cojone' y tú me mola'

¿Qué puede salir mal?

Tú ere' una sucia y así te vo'a tratar

Si mal te va' a portar, yo te vo'a soportar

No le prometo na' porque no se va a enchular

Que ella tiene

Siete vidas como una gata, ella vive sola

Por las noche' hace plata, aquí no se llora

Siete vidas, siete novio', siete boda'

Gatita Sephora, no se enamora

Mi Cenicienta, toma cristal

Sale sola y baila sola, pero duerme acompañá'

Ella quiere que sea Sergio el que le hable con la mirá'

Y que sea La Pantera el que le meta el bicho de madrugá'

Dice que si follo como rapeo, se va a casar

Que si le gusto de verda', no sabe' lo que va a pasar

Ni lo pienses tú, súbete y bájate ya

Y mándame un nude pa' coger más musa

Se saca las teta' y me hace un aca rusa

Yo no soy celoso y ella no me pone excusa

Subo una historia en un piso 10, fumando sasha

Pa' que recuerden que ella tiene

Siete vidas como una gata, ella vive sola

Por las noche' hace plata, aquí no se llora

Siete vidas, siete novio', siete boda'

Gatita Sephora, estoy que te preño ahora

Pa' que te enamore' y te ponga' a squirtear

Verda' que eres mi karma y que esto va a salir mal

Se sube a la cama en cuatro pata' y a gatear

Yo soy muy fresita pa' que tú seas tan bad gyal

Key Grammar Structures

• Por las noche' hace plata, aquí no se llora

  ➔ Impersonal/Passive 'se'

  ➔ The construction "no se llora" uses the impersonal or passive "se", indicating an action where the subject is not specified, often translated as "one doesn't cry" or "crying doesn't happen here." The focus is on the action itself, rather than who performs it.

• Gatita Sephora, estoy que te preño ahora

  ➔ 'Estar que' + verb (informal construction for immediate/imminent action or strong desire)

  ➔ "estoy que" is an informal construction expressing that the speaker is on the verge of doing something or intensely feels like doing it. Here, "te preño" means 'I impregnate you'.

• Pa' que te enamore' y te ponga' a squirtear

  ➔ Subjunctive after 'para que' + 'ponerse a' + infinitive (to start doing something)

  ➔ "Pa' que" (short for "para que") introduces a purpose clause, which requires the subjunctive mood for the following verbs ("te enamores", "te pongas"). "Ponerse a" is a verbal periphrasis indicating the beginning of an action, meaning 'to start doing something'.

• Yo soy muy fresita pa' que tú seas tan bad gyal

  ➔ 'Para que' + subjunctive (expressing incompatibility/inappropriateness)

  ➔ "Pa' que" (para que) here expresses a contrast or incompatibility, implying that the speaker's "fresita" (innocent/proper) nature makes it unsuitable for the other person to be "bad gyal". The subjunctive ("seas") is required in such comparative or restrictive clauses.

• pero a ella nadie la controla

  ➔ Personal 'a' + Negative subject 'nadie' (implying a double negative structure in Spanish)

  ➔ The "personal a" ("a ella") is used before a direct object when it refers to a person or a personified entity. "Nadie" (nobody) functions as the subject, and in Spanish, when a negative pronoun precedes the verb, no explicit 'no' is needed before the verb (it functions as a single negation despite looking like a 'double negative' to English speakers).

• Si mal te va' a portar, yo te vo'a soportar

  ➔ Conditional clause (Si + present indicative + future indicative) + informal 'ir a'

  ➔ This is a Type 1 conditional sentence, expressing a real or probable condition in the future. "Si" (if) introduces the condition in the present indicative ("te va' a portar" - informal for "te vas a portar"), and the consequence is in the future tense or 'ir a' future ("te vo'a soportar" - informal for "te voy a soportar").

• Ella quiere que sea Sergio el que le hable con la mirá'

  ➔ Subjunctive after 'querer que' + 'el que' (relative pronoun for emphasis/specific person)

  ➔ The verb "querer" (to want) when followed by "que" and a different subject ("Ella" wants "Sergio" to do something) requires the subjunctive mood for the following verbs ("sea", "hable"). "El que" is a construction used to specify or emphasize who performs an action, meaning 'the one who'.

• Ni lo pienses tú, súbete y bájate ya

  ➔ Negative 'tú' command + Affirmative 'tú' commands with attached pronouns

  ➔ "Ni lo pienses" is a strong negative informal command ('don't even think about it'), where "pienses" is in the subjunctive for negative commands. "Súbete" and "bájate" are affirmative informal commands (imperative mood) with the reflexive pronoun "-te" attached to the end of the verb, indicating that the action is performed by or on the subject.

• Se saca las teta' y me hace un aca rusa

  ➔ Reflexive verb 'sacarse' (used when an action is performed on one's own body part) + Indirect object pronoun 'me'

  ➔ "Se saca" is a reflexive verb construction, specifically used when the subject performs an action on their own body part (in this case, "las tetas" - 'her breasts'). "Me" is an indirect object pronoun, indicating that the subsequent action ("hace un aca rusa" - 'does a Russian a-ca') is performed for or to the speaker.

• Subo una historia en un piso 10, fumando sasha

  ➔ Present tense for ongoing/habitual action + Gerund (present participle)

  ➔ "Subo" is in the present indicative, which can refer to a habitual action ('I regularly upload') or an action happening at the moment of speaking. "Fumando" is a gerund (present participle), used to describe a simultaneous action or the manner in which the main action is performed ('while smoking').
