[English]

Baby, I want to give you an heir

With your face and with your hair

With your caramel eyes

I promise to give you the sky

I already gave up on the rough life

There's no reason for jealousy

Let's make this easy

To end it like grandparents

She looks like a model when she smokes

I don't want you to leave and that overwhelms me

I owe her everything, she has made me a man

I get nervous when I hear her name

If you're going to be with me, then you'll be on the Forbes list

You will be harassed, but you will never be poor

She stays faithful

But I know that in the past she was a bandit

I want to give you many children

And have them come out with your face repeated

Baby, I want to give you an heir

With your face and with your hair

With your caramel eyes

I promise to give you the sky

I already gave up on the rough life

There's no reason for jealousy

Let's make this easy

To end it like grandparents

The Earth in the universe is tiny

Don't let anyone tell you how you have to make shavings

For you, I stay away from the bad

If I meet up with them, it's after they give trouble

I have to earn a living

It's because of you that I became a man

I don't want to leave you behind

Because if not, you'll leave

I have to earn a living

It's because of you that I became a man

I don't want to leave you behind

Because if not, you'll leave

Baby, I want to give you an heir

With your face and with your hair

With your caramel eyes

I promise to give you the sky

I already gave up on the rough life

There's no reason for jealousy

Let's make this easy

To end it like grandparents

Baby, I want to give you an heir

With your face and with your hair

With your caramel eyes

I promise to give you the sky

I already gave up on the rough life

There's no reason for jealousy

Let's make this easy

To end it like grand-

[Spanish]

Bebé, yo quiero hacerte un heredero

Con tu cara y con tu pelo

Con tus ojos caramelo

Te prometo darte el cielo

Ya me quité de cueros

No hay motivo pa los celos

Hagamos esto fácil

Pa acabarlo como abuelos

Parece una modelo cuando ella fuma

No quiero que te vayas y eso me abruma

Se lo debo todo, ella ha hecho de mí un hombre

Me pongo nervioso cuando escucho su nombre

Si vas a estar conmigo, pues que salgas en la Forbes

Serás atosigada, pero nunca serás pobre

Ella se mantiene fiel

Pero sé que en el pasado era una bandida

Quiero hacerte muchos hijos

Y que salgan con tu cara repetida

Bebé, yo quiero hacerte un heredero

Con tu cara y con tu pelo

Te prometo darte el cielo

Ya me quité de cueros

No hay motivo pa los celos

Key Grammar Structures

• Bebé, yo quiero hacerte un heredero

  ➔ Subjunctive mood in noun clauses.

  ➔ The use of "quiero hacerte" implies a desire or wish, often followed by the subjunctive in Spanish. In this case, although 'hacerte' is in its infinitive form, the preceding verb 'quiero' (want) expresses desire, which commonly triggers the use of the subjunctive in dependent clauses. It's not a fully developed subjunctive clause here, but the underlying principle is linked to expressing desires/wishes.

• Ya me quité de cueros

  ➔ Use of the reflexive pronoun "me" with a verb to indicate a change in state or condition.

  ➔ "Quitarse de" implies removing oneself from a certain lifestyle or behavior. The "me" signifies that the subject is performing the action on themselves. It expresses a change in one's personal habits.

• Pa acabarlo como abuelos

  ➔ Use of "para" + infinitive to express purpose or intention.

  ➔ "Pa acabarlo como abuelos" uses "pa" (short for "para") which means "in order to" or "so that". The full phrase expresses the intention of reaching old age together, like grandparents.

• Parece una modelo cuando ella fuma

  ➔ Use of "cuando" to introduce a time clause.

  ➔ "Cuando" introduces the time when the action in the main clause happens. Here, it means "when she smokes, she looks like a model".

• No quiero que te vayas y eso me abruma

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after verbs expressing volition, desire, or emotion.

  ➔ "No quiero que te vayas" uses the subjunctive "vayas" because it follows the verb "quiero" which expresses a desire. The subjunctive is used in the subordinate clause introduced by "que" when the main verb expresses these types of subjective states.

• Se lo debo todo, ella ha hecho de mí un hombre

  ➔ The use of the present perfect tense "ha hecho" to express an action completed in the past that has relevance to the present.

  ➔ The use of "ha hecho" indicates that the action of her making him a man is finished, but its result continues into the present. The impact of her influence is still felt.

• Si vas a estar conmigo, pues que salgas en la Forbes

  ➔ Conditional sentences using "si" and the subjunctive mood.

  ➔ The sentence uses "si" to introduce a condition. The use of "salgas" in the subjunctive mood is notable. While in this specific sentence, the conditional isn't a textbook example of conditional tenses, the implication is that if she is with him (present/future), then a result (appearing in Forbes) should happen - showing potential/expectation. The "pues que" adds emphasis.
