[English]

Listen to me baby girl 'cause I need to know

If you got a man or if you're riding alone

Mr. J King and Jowell hooked up in this song

Let your body dance, girl, this is reggaeton

Listen to me baby girl 'cause I need to know

If you got a man or if you're riding alone

Mr. J King and Jowell hooked up in this song

Let your body dance, girl, this is reggaeton

Moviendo, vacilando, sacudiendo

Como una negra mulata suelta cool y pandeando

Borincana que janguea con cubana

Y con dominicana que no le importa nada

Ella quiere reggaeton, reggaeton

Mi ticket le está dando

Jala la mordaza puro la parte sigue guayando

Eh, de cara que quiere sacar chispa y candela

Se declara soltera porque anillo no lleva, baby

Listen to me baby girl 'cause I need to know

If you got a man or if you're riding alone

Mr. J King and Jowell hooked up in this song

Let your body dance, girl, this is reggaeton

Listen to me baby girl 'cause I need to know

If you got a man or if you're riding alone

Mr. J King and Jowell hooked up in this song

Let your body dance, girl, this is reggaeton

Dime si estás sola y que sí que quiero saber

Si ese grilleta está así es así no te quiero tener

Vamo' allá tú y yo los dos rozándonos, pegándonos

Como si fuera fuego sacándonos leña

Dios bendiga la puertorriqueña, la perla del sur

Dios bendiga la caribeña trigueña

La que mata, le arrebata, media sata, se desbarata

Tú a la hora de cool y witty

U.S., J King

Ja, ja, ¿qué lo está?

Jowell, daddy

Ja, ja
