The Melody with the Street

Tony Dize

Baby, give me the signal - If you keep looking at me like that

I'm gonna kiss you, I'm gonna kiss you (I'm gonna kiss you) - If it's with you, I don't have to think twice (No, no)

Because you're not like the others, no - You're different (Eh, eh)

Living the crazy life - Always against the current

You do whatever you feel like, feel like, ah-ah-ah

Always playing hard to get, unless the grinding - calls (Hehe), calls, ah-ah-ah (Ey, ey)

I want you to teach me,

Be my teacher, hehe - A bitch, a pitcher, ey

Lowkey, she goes and switches, je - A crazy girl who I'll fu—

Ey, ey, the baby is almost thirty - and she looks fierce, she looks fierce

She's been looking for a while, I - noticed, I already noticed, ah-ah

She knows more than you, so don't - be stupid, boy, don't lie to her, je

Don't live out the movie fantasy, because she is - the movie, and the kind you can't rent

She shakes that ass and everyone comments - A bad bitch, a 90s girl

That sweet and sour face is what tempts me - A picky girl, a mint

To savor you and break you - I come down to your court and watch you

If your friend wants to, go on, invite her - Go on, invite her, what's gonna happen will happen

But I don't want anyone else, no

You are different - If you were a

wave, then let the current take me - You do whatever you feel like, feel like, ah-ah-ah

Always playing hard to get, unless the - grinding calls, calls, ah-ah-ah (Ey)

You're the type that goes out - Late at night, but without letting yourself be seen (No, no)

She gave in and she's not going back (Nah, nah) - Now she's better off single

She goes out with no set return time, no one tells her anything - She does whatever she wants (She does whatever she wants)

The street was lit on fire (Ey, ey) - And instead of getting involved in the mess,

she prefers to go home alone, eh, eh - She seems Colombian, they call her "la parce"

She doesn't need a man to get her ticket

She lives her life dancing, oh, oh - She has the whole club looking, eh, eh

Because you're not like the others, no - You're different (Ey, ey)

Living the crazy life (Living the crazy life) - Always against the current (Ey, ey)

You do whatever you feel like, feel like, ah-ah-ah - Always playing hard to get, unless the grinding calls,

calls, ah-ah-ah

Yeah-yeah, ey, je - Bad Bunny,

baby - Be-be-be-babe, haha

Ey, ey, Tony Dize - Tony Dize, hehe

The melody with the street - The melody with the street

Bad Bunny, baby, be-be-brrum - Ey, ey

La Melodîa con la Calle

Tony Dize

Baby, dame la señal Si me sigues mirando así

Porque tú no eres como otra', no Tú eres diferente (Eh, eh) 

Viviendo la vida loca Siempre en contra 'e la corriente

Siempre pichea', meno' si el perreo  llama (Jeje), llama, ah-ah-ah (Ey, ey)

Quiero que tú me enseñe',  

que sea' mi teacher, jeje Una bitch, una pitcher, ey 

Lowkey, anda a switche, je Loca que me la chi— 

Ey, ey, la baby ya va pa' treinta  y se ve violenta, se ve violenta 

Hace rato está mirando, me di  cuenta, ya me di cuenta, ah-ah 

Ella sabe má' que tú, así que no  sea' tonto, chico, no le mienta', je 

No te vivas la película, que ella es  la película y de las que no se renta 

Sube ese culo y to's comentan Una bad bitch, girl de lo' 90 

Esa carita agridulce es la que me tienta Una picky, una menta 

Pa' mamártela y rompértela Bajo pa' tu cancha y wachartela 

Si tu amiga quiere, ve, invítala Ve, invítala, que se va a hacer

Pero yo no quiero a otra, no 

Tú eres diferente Si tú fuera' una  

ola, pues que me lleve la corriente Tú hace' lo que a ti te dé la gana, gana, ah-ah-ah 

Siempre pichea, meno' si el  perreo llama, llama, ah-ah-ah (Ey)

Tú eres de las que sale Tarde en la noche, pero sin dejarse ver (No, no) 

Se dejó y no va a volver (Nah, nah) Ahora está mejor soltera 

Sale sin hora de llegada, no le dicen nada Hace lo que quiera (Hace lo que quiera) 

La calle prendía' en candela (Ey, ey) Y en vez de enfangarse,  

prefiere a solas acostarse, eh, eh Parece colombiana, le dicen "la parce" 

No necesita un hombre pa' ticket buscarse 

Ella se la vive bailando, oh, oh Tiene a to' la disco mirando, eh, eh

Porque tú no eres como otras, no Tú eres diferente (Ey, ey) 

Viviendo la vida loca (Viviendo la vida loca) Siempre en contra la corriente (Ey, ey)

Key Grammar Structures

• Si me sigues mirando así te vo'a besar, te vo'a besar (Te vo'a besar)

  ➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 1)

  ➔ The structure 'Si + present tense, future tense' is used to express a condition and its probable result. Here, 'Si me sigues mirando así' (If you keep looking at me like that) is the condition, and 'te vo'a besar' (I'll kiss you) is the result.

• Hace' lo que a ti te dé la gana, gana, ah-ah-ah

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood

  ➔ The phrase 'te dé la gana' uses the subjunctive mood after the conjunction 'que' (implied here) to express a wish or desire. It translates to 'whatever you feel like doing'.

• Siempre pichea', meno' si el perreo llama, llama, ah-ah-ah

  ➔ Contracted Forms

  ➔ The apostrophe is used to contract words like 'siempre pichea' (siempre picheas) and 'meno' si' (menos si). This is common in informal Spanish.

• Quiero que tú me enseñe', que sea' mi teacher, jeje

  ➔ Subjunctive in Noun Clauses

  ➔ The subjunctive mood is used in the clause 'que tú me enseñe' and 'que sea' mi teacher' because they follow the verb 'quiero' (I want), which expresses desire.

• Una bitch, una pitcher, ey Lowkey, anda a switche, je

  ➔ Slang and Colloquialisms

  ➔ Words like 'bitch', 'pitcher', 'Lowkey', and 'switche' are slang terms commonly used in informal contexts, especially in urban and youth culture.
