[English]

Gonna pop, baby (vemo')

Swish, mmh, move that sh- out here (here)

You full off one sip (sip), fallin' off, but I got grip (grip)

All around the trap, it hit (hit, hit, ayy)

All around the map, you trip (skrrt)

Take it like nine out of ten (yeah)

Think they gon' find that again

Think I gotta bond out again

Behind the tint, I sin, I vent

Can't forget about that place we went

Right after you put that in my head

Do you still pop 'em? Do you dance?

Do you still drop some? Know you can

I got a lot, but I'm still chancin' (yah-yah, yah, yah)

Hace tiempo no te veo, eh

Es que ahora en Miami jangueo, eh-eh

Ya no tengo la Rodeo

Ahora en la G-Wagon espoteo, ey

Y te lo meto al frente 'e la playa

Como aquello' tiempo' de camino a Maya

Tú ni fumaba' y chingando te arrebaté

Dale, no pierdas tiempo, no lo piense', trépate

Tú bien loca, loca, yo bien loco, loco

Si ahora tu mai nos pilla, me pide una foto

La nota me explota, el ticke' lo exploto

Vamo' pa' Cayo Musha, ya le texteé al piloto, eh-eh

I know 'bout this one time, you felt like that winner (winner)

That night was just so fire, I need you back sooner (sooner)

You come back on this side when she get back cooler (cooler)

We run it back one time, I'm grabbin' you, uno (uno)

Uno

Ooh, oh (mm-mmh, mm-mmh)

Ooh, yeah (mm-mmh, mm-mmh)

Ooh, yeah (mm-mmh)

Mix the drugs with the pain

Let the waves lead the way

You in Cannes and Saint-Tropez

Callin' out my name

You know I'm wrong in my face, uh

You know I'm high off that K pop

Rubbin' up on your body

All your clothes, you gon' take off

South of France, we gon' party

This ain't some lil' yachty

We gon' f- 'til we seasick

You my bad lil' mami, mami

You love me, you could tell me you love me

Even if you don't mean it, sex will make you believe it

I love it when she up on me, love when she call me, "Papi"

Even though she Korean

Get her wet like tsunami, 'nami, ooh, yeah (yah-yah, yah, yah)

I know 'bout this one time, you felt like that winner (winner)

That night was just so fire, I need you back sooner (sooner)

You come back on this side when she get back cooler (cooler)

We run it back one time, I'm grabbin' you, uno (yah-yah, yah, yah, uno)

Key Grammar Structures

• Gonna pop, baby (vemo')

  ➔ Future intention with informal 'gonna' (going to)

  ➔ The word "gonna" is an informal contraction of "going to" and is used to talk about a planned or imminent action.

• Take it like nine out of ten (yeah)

  ➔ Comparative phrase with "like" to show similarity

  ➔ The word "like" is used here to compare the situation to "nine out of ten", meaning it is almost certain or very likely.

• Can't forget about that place we went

  ➔ Modal verb "can't" + infinitive; past simple in relative clause

  ➔ "Can't" is the contraction of "cannot" and is followed by the base form "forget". The clause "we went" uses the simple past to refer to a completed action.

• Do you still pop 'em? Do you dance?

  ➔ Yes‑no question with auxiliary "do" + subject + base verb

  ➔ The auxiliary "do" forms a question: "Do" + subject + base verb ("pop", "dance").

• Hace tiempo no te veo, eh

  ➔ Present simple negative in Spanish with "no"; idiomatic expression "Hace tiempo"

  ➔ "no" negates the verb "veo" (I see). "Hace tiempo" means "it's been a while".

• Ya no tengo la Rodeo

  ➔ Negative construction with "ya no" (no longer) in Spanish

  ➔ "Ya no" means "no longer"; the sentence says "I no longer have the Rodeo".

• Even though she Korean

  ➔ Concessive clause with "even though"

  ➔ "Even though" introduces a contrast: despite the fact that she is Korean, something else is true.

• Mix the drugs with the pain

  ➔ Imperative mood (command) without subject pronoun

  ➔ "Mix" is a command directed at the listener; the subject "you" is implied.

• I know 'bout this one time, you felt like that winner (winner)

  ➔ Past simple "felt"; simile with "like"; colloquial contraction "'bout" for "about"

  ➔ "'Bout" is an informal shortening of "about". "Felt" is the past simple of "feel". The phrase "you felt like that winner" uses "like" to make a comparison.
