[English]

[Music]

I order a Dom Pérignon, smoking the cherry, it

kills me how you move that little Fendi dress, for the

party girl, she’s not

just anyone, I swear you don’t leave

my mind, baby, it’s just that once wasn’t

enough, I only think about seeing you and

eating you again

dancing

reggaetón in my

bedroom, just you and me, losing my

head, I order a Dom Pérignon at the club, I’ve been

watching you for a while, making

eye contact,

exchanging glances, sparklers in the club,

sending over a few bottles, I’ll pay for your friends

because you look classy

classy, like a Dom Pérignon, smoking the

cherry, it kills me how you

move that Fendi dress

for the party girl, she’s not

just anyone, I swear you don’t leave

my mind

[Music]

baby

it’s that once wasn’t

enough, I only think about seeing you and

eating you again

dancing

reggaetón in my

bedroom, just you and me, losing

control, I order a Dom Pérignon at the club, I’ve been

watching you for a while, making

eye contact,

exchanging glances, sparklers at the club, a few

bottles sent your way, I’ll pay for your friends

because you look classy

classy, like a Dom Pérignon, smoking the

cherry, it kills me how you move that little Fendi dress

with the party

girl, she’s not

just anyone, I swear you don’t leave

my mind

[Music]

[Music]

He never loses his cool, he’s good at

drinking, they already know him, he’s very serious, but he

likes the lifestyle,

whether it’s day or

night, the guy has a great time

Yes

sir, I put on my boots when I take off

for the cattle expo,

the party gets good, and in Guanatos

you don’t

miss out
