This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

I'm a girl, a very rich Latin American

Since I was little I had bandana bloomers

What I care least about is your banana

Come closer, I'll show you katanas

If you call me on my cell, I'll rescue you

I'll squeeze all the juice out of my pineapple

I cook bolognese, I don't get into trouble

I don't want my little friend to be taken to jail

I don't want to explain it to you, I can't be bothered

I don't know if I'm making urban music

All I know is that your buddy listens to me

Open your being, I see your plain mind

I understand you saying my ass is very good

Come on, try me, I'll show you my venom

The sandunguera, I am the real one

Salsa and flavor, hey ma', you wish

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

The girl's bohemia brought you honey

Wisdom and pleasure

There was nothing to do

I just learned to grow

I'm in the mountains kissing life

For everything I have, I am grateful

Mommy, I don't want you to be hurt

May the family never be divided

Don't give me your hand, I don't want to touch you

Your posing money is very far from my art

You will never be able to buy me with anything

I'll wait for you here only if you want to help

When I write, I feel peace

I don't give a damn what the fuck you'll say

I make music for the world

My message is so profound

For all motherfuckers

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz, baby

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

This is my Latin jazz

The sandunguera, hey ma', you wish

This is my Latin jazz

Salsa and flavor, my people

This is my Latin jazz

The sandunguera, hey ma', you wi'

...

Soy nena, muy rica latinoamericana

De chiquita tenía bombachita de bandana

Lo que menos me importa es tu banana

Acércate que te enseño katanas

Si me llamas al cel y te voy a rescatar

Te saco todo el juguito de mi ananas

Cocino boloñesa, no me meto en macana

No quiero que a mi amiguito se lo lleven en cana

No quiero explicarte, no me da la ga'

No sé si yo estoy haciendo musica urba'

Lo único que sé es que me escucha tu pana

Abre tu ser, veo tu mente llana

Yo entiendo que diga que mi culo está muy bueno

Vení, vos probáme, que te enseño mi veneno

La sandunguera, yo soy la verdadera

Salsa y sabor, oye ma', tú quisieras

Este es mi jazz latino

La bohemia de la nena te trajo miel

Sabiduría y placer

No habia nadita que hacer

Solo aprendí a crecer

Estoy en la montaña besando a la vida

Por todo lo que tengo, estoy agradecida

Mamita, no quiero que estés herida

Que la familia nunca se divida

No me dé la mano, no quiero tocarte

Tu plata postura está muy lejos de mi arte

A mí nunca con nada me podrás comprar

Acá te espero solo si querés ayudar

Al escribir, yo siento la paz

Me importa un pepino qué concha dirás

Yo hago música para el mundo

Mi mensaje es tan profundo

For all motherfuckers

Este es mi jazz latino
