[English]

Girl, hop in the truck

Pass me the bag and step on the gas

I know they call you crazy

And they're not wrong, baby, I'm a badass

Just tell me if I should come over or hit me up

You with your girlfriends, me with my buddies

When we see each other, that's a hundred percent, babe

Repeating what happened on that seat is easy

Just tell me and I'll be there in a flash

Take advantage, the house is empty, babe

Stop looking at yourself in the mirror

Better take advantage, here’s your fool, baby

That's it, brother Tito

Pure Eslabón, bro

Warlike, but not too much, girl

Girl, hop in the truck

Take off your clothes, roll down the window, and head to the corner

You say I make you go crazy

And sometimes you touch yourself listening to our song

Just tell me if I should come over or hit me up

You with your girlfriends, me with my buddies

When we see each other, that's a hundred percent, babe

Repeating what happened on that seat is easy

Just tell me and I'll be there in a flash

Take advantage, the house is empty, babe

Stop looking at yourself in the mirror

Anyway, here's your fool, baby, ah

Anyway, here's your fool, baby

...

[Spanish]

Mija, súbete a la troca

Pásame la bolsa y súbele a ese corridón

Sé que te tiran de loca

Y no se equivocan, mami, pues salí cabrón

Dime nomás si te caigo o me marcas

Tú con amigas, yo con camaradas

De que nos vemos, eso es cien por ciento, ma

Que se repita lo de aquel asiento es fácil

Dime nomás y llego de volada

Aprovecha, que está sola la casa, mami

Deja de mirarte ya en el espejo

Mejor aprovеcha, aquí está tu pendejo, baby

Así nomás, compa Tito

Puro Eslabón, viеjo

Bélico, pero no tanto, mija

Mija, súbete a la troca

Quítate la ropa, sube el vidrio y pa'l cantón

Dices que te vuelvo loca

Y a veces te tocas oyendo nuestra canción

Dime nomás si te caigo o me marcas

Tú con amigas, yo con camaradas

De que nos vemos, eso es cien por ciento, ma

Que se repita lo de aquel asiento es fácil

Dime nomás y llego de volada

Aprovecha que está sola la casa, mami

Deja de mirarte ya en el espejo

Que comoquiera aquí está tu pendejo, baby, ah

Que comoquiera aquí está tu pendejo, baby

Key Grammar Structures

• Pásame la bolsa y súbele a ese corridón

  ➔ Affirmative imperative with attached clitic pronoun

  ➔ The verb "pasa" is in the imperative form and the clitic "me" is attached, meaning “pass *me* the bag”. The second clause "súbele" is also an imperative with the indirect object pronoun "le" attached.

• Mija, súbete a la troca

  ➔ Reflexive imperative with clitic pronoun

  ➔ The verb "súbete" combines the imperative "sube" (get on) with the reflexive pronoun "te", meaning “get *yourself* on the truck”.

• Sé que te tiran de loca

  ➔ Verb of knowledge + subordinate clause with que

  ➔ The verb "sé" (I know) is followed by the conjunction "que" introducing a subordinate clause "te tiran de loca" (they call you crazy).

• Dime nomás si te caigo o me marcas

  ➔ Imperative + colloquial filler "nomás" + conditional "si" clause

  ➔ "Dime" is an imperative meaning “tell me”. "Nomás" is a colloquial filler meaning “just”. The clause "si te caigo o me marcas" is a conditional introduced by "si" (if).

• Que se repita lo de aquel asiento es fácil

  ➔ Subjunctive after impersonal “que” + infinitive clause as subject

  ➔ The impersonal “que” introduces a clause that requires the subjunctive "se repita" (may it repeat). The whole clause functions as the subject of "es fácil".

• Aprovecha, que está sola la casa, mami

  ➔ Imperative followed by explanatory "que" clause

  ➔ "Aprovecha" (take advantage) is an imperative. The following "que" clause gives the reason: "the house is empty".

• Deja de mirarte ya en el espejo

  ➔ "dejar de + infinitive" construction + reflexive verb

  ➔ "Deja de" means “stop”. It is followed by the infinitive "mirarte" (to look at yourself), which is reflexive because the action is directed back to the subject.

• Quítate la ropa, sube el vidrio y pa'l cantón

  ➔ Series of imperatives; colloquial contraction "pa'l" (= para el)

  ➔ "Quítate", "sube" and "pa'l" are all commands. "Pa'l" is a spoken contraction of "para el", meaning “to the place”.
