Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I’ve never known a woman like her

Beautiful eyes, like two stars

I looked closely, and she was a real lady

But Blass

Boy

She had such a wild side

She was glowing

When it comes to sex, she could give lessons

Full of energy

Not into sangria

And between face and body, over ten surgeries

No stretch marks, and she gave me a lecture

She moved her head so gracefully

I don’t know if it was the rum or just her vibe

She told me she hung out with her aunt

And that in New York, they threw orgies for her

And then came the boredom

And we talked about economics

Her dad owned a jewelry store

A barbershop, and he was a cop

"Hey, baldy, what are you doing talking to my daughter?"

Aren’t you ashamed?

Look, officer

I wasn’t doing anything, man

I’m just chilling with your daughter

"Hey, don’t call me ‘man’"

"I’m not your ‘man,’ you idiot"

"Get against the wall, right there, get against the wall" (Calm down, but what happened?)

The girl I see at the club in a convertible car

Flexible attitude, visible curls

I approach her, "Good evening," and she says, "I’m invisible"

Is she crazy? Impossible

But at that moment, I felt ready

To talk to that weird girl at the club

Screens on her face

And in her pockets, flare lights to roll with

The girl wasn’t bad, and suddenly she slips

And points me toward the bathroom

I told her right away

"Let’s go outside, so you can get some fresh air"

Get in the car, hurry

I drive off, and she immediately says, "Stop"

I pull onto the sidewalk, "Throw up outside"

And she said, "Look, dude, turn that off, I’m a rocker"

"Oh, you’re a rocker?" "I didn’t know, babe, honestly"

"Blass, are you ready on the guitar?"

Follow me! One, two, three, four!"

Hey cutie, play it cool

With your mind, you turn me on

I can tell in bed you’d neigh like a mule

I can tell in bed you could handle two

You like rock, but I like reggaeton

Slow down the medicine, the rhythm

The girl makes moves

I’m not lying when I say this is the trend

The lady gets comfortable and looks for a soda at the bar

And even at my wedding, I want reggaeton

And the music, the crew, the mission

The party, at the bar, lots of rum

A drone of beers

And DJ Blass with lots of reggaeton-ton-ton

Lots of reggae-reggae-reggae-ton-ton-ton

Reggae-reggae-ton-ton

Lots of reggae-reggae-ton-ton

...

[Spanish]

Nunca he conocido una mujer como ella

Ojos hermosos, parecen dos estrellas

La mire bien y era toda una doncella

Pero Blass

Muchacho

Que bellaquera tenía

Estaba lucia

En cosas de sexo puede dar tutoría

Llena de energía

No va con la sangría

Y entre cara y pipa más de diez cirugías

No había estrías y me dio una letanía

Movía la cabeza con simpatía

No se si era el ron o una manía

Me dijo que jangueaba con la tía

Y que en Nueva York le hacían orgías

Y ahí llego la monotonía

Y hablamos de economía

El pai' tenía una joyería

Una barbería, y era policía

"Mira caripela'o, que tu haces hablando con mi hija"

¿Usted no se abochorna?

Mira señor oficial

Si yo no 'taba haciendo na' mi hermano

Toy' con su hija tranquilo

"Eh, mi no me diga hermano"

"Que yo no soy hermano suyo, to' pendejo"

"Pegase a la pared ahí, pegase a la pared" (Tranquilo, pero mira ¿que paso?)

La nena que yo veo en la disco en un carro convertible

Actitud flexible y riza visibles

Me le pego, "Buenas noches" y me dice "Yo soy invisible"

¿Esta es loca? Imposible

Pero en un momento dado yo me sentí preparado

Para en la disco hablar con esa tipa rara

Pantallas en la cara

Y para rolear en su bolsillos luces de bengalas

La tipa no era mala, y en una se resbala

Y hacia el baño me señala

Le dije enseguida

"Vamos pa' afuera, pa' que cogas aire en la cara"

Monta en el carro, sata

Arranco, y enseguida ella me dice "Para"

Me trepo en la acera, "Vomita afuera"

Y me dijo "Mira loco apágate eso que yo soy rockera"

"Ah, ¿tu eres rockera?" "Es que yo no sabia, mami, en verdad"

"Blass, ¿estas listo allá en la guitarra?"

¡Sígueme! ¡One, two, three, four!"

Oye chula, disimula

Con la mente te estimula

Se ve que en la cama tú relinchas como una mula

Se ve que en la cama tú puedes con dos

A ti te gusta el rock, pero a mi me gusta el reggaeton

Lento el medicamento, el alimento

La chica hace movimiento

Yo no miento al decir que esto es una moda

La lady se acomoda y en la barra busca una soda

Y hasta en mi boda quiero reggaeton

Y la música, el corillo, la misión

El rumbón, en la barra mucho ron

De cervezas un drón

Y DJ Blass con mucho reggaeton-ton-ton

Mucho reggae-reggae-reggae-ton-ton-ton

Reggae-reggae-ton-ton

Mucho reggae-reggae-ton-ton

Key Grammar Structures

• Nunca he conocido una mujer como ella

  ➔ Present Perfect Negative

  ➔ The sentence uses the present perfect negative to express that the speaker has *never* met a woman like her. The structure is 'haber (he) + not + past participle (conocido)'. The use of 'nunca' reinforces the negativity.

• Ojos hermosos, parecen dos estrellas

  ➔ Impersonal Verb 'Parecer' + Noun

  ➔ The verb 'parecer' (to seem, to appear) is used impersonally here. It doesn't have a specific subject; it describes how the eyes *seem*. The structure is 'subject + parecer + adjective/noun'.

• Me dijo que jangueaba con la tía

  ➔ Indirect Speech + Subjunctive (implied)

  ➔ This is an example of indirect speech. The speaker is reporting what someone else said. The verb 'dijo' (said) introduces the reported clause. 'Jangueaba' implies a habitual action in the past, often expressed with the imperfect subjunctive in more formal Spanish.

• Mira caripela'o, que tu haces hablando con mi hija

  ➔ Vocative + Interrogative Clause

  ➔ The phrase begins with a vocative, 'Mira caripela'o' (Look, you… - a somewhat rude address). The 'que' introduces an interrogative clause expressing surprise or disapproval about the listener's action.
