[English]

Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh! (Daddy Yankee!)

Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh!

Wazup! Pa, come on

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

This is the remix

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

You know how we do, man

Machete... (In and out!)

Hey! Yo mami

Tu lo que necesitas es un masajito, un sobo

En la sala de mi casa solos sin ningún estorbo

Del barrio ya llego tu sicario

Mami contigo es que yo quiero botar el calcio

Me miras, yo también te miro

Te gusta como yo te tiro

Boricoso, bien New Yorquino

Ya tu sabes, a lo gangsterino

Va el caballo a su paso fino

Con un verbo muy asesino

Poco a poco yo la domino

Suavemente se fue conmigo

Vamo'a allá, yo no muerdo mas

Así que echa pa' acá

Sabes a lo que vas

'Tamos grandes ya

Soy un cangri-man

Tu una gata gangster dangerous

(Los dos!) Entrega'os

(Los dos!) Amarra'os

(Los dos!) Concentra'os

Ponte relax, suelta el estrés

Que andas con un veterano

Conmigo es otro nivel, oh yeah

Así que estas en buenas manos

No tienes que disimular

No lo pienses y vámonos al grano

Entonces apuntale otra victoria para el

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

Pucutum, pacatap, pucutum, pacatap

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

What it do, look mami

In the club I see you shakin'

Lookin' sexy in a skirt

But girl I'm tryin' to get you naked

I got the right words

And baby you got some nice curves

So roll with me, I might splurge

And fill your mouth with icebergs

You watchin' me, I'm watchin' you

What it do, let's chop it up

I got some games, I'm on the play

Lil' mom, I'ma tryin' to cut

Beat it up and break your back

Lay the wood and make you sweat

Girl, it's gonna be a long night

I'm wide up and ready to rake

C'mon and gimme a midnight snack

And I'm gonna have you moanin'

So good you're gonna cook me breakfast early in the mornin'

You know I'm Paul Wall

The ladie's man with lotsa juice

Baby, I'm hung just like a noose

Look girl, I'm tryin' to get you loose

My eyes peel on your caboose

I'm on the scheme, tryin' to plot

Tryin' to get inside your lot

Makin' moves to make you hot

Mi casa es su casa

So come on over and spend the night

I'm certified to break your back

So holla at me, I'll cut you right

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

(Machete, machete!)

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

(Machete, machete!)

Ma', tu no estas amarra'a de ningún jinete

(I got what you lookin' for, Daddy!)

Pues vámonos, esta noche me quiero dar un banquete

(I got what you lookin' for, Daddy!)

Pucutum, pacatap, pucutum, pacatap

Tu estas buscando un fuete

Ma'... (I got what you lookin' for, Daddy!)

Tú quieres la segunda parte, chula, del machete

(I got what you lookin' for, Daddy!)

Pucutum, pacatap, pucutum, pacatap

Pucutum, pacatap, pucutum, pacatap

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Pucutum, pacatap, pucutum, pacatap

Pucutum, pacatap, pucutum, pacatap

Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh!

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

(Machete, machete!)

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

Machete... (In and out!)

Key Grammar Structures

• Tu lo que necesitas es un masajito, un sobo

  ➔ Relative clause with 'lo que' (what/that which).

  ➔ The phrase 'lo que necesitas' means 'what you need'. 'Lo que' functions as a relative pronoun joining the clause.

• Del barrio ya llego tu sicario

  ➔ Inversion for emphasis: subject follows the verb.

  ➔ Normally, it would be 'tu sicario ya llegó'. The inversion highlights the arrival dramatically.

• Me miras, yo también te miro

  ➔ Reciprocal/reflexive use of 'mirar'.

  ➔ Both verbs show mutual action — each one looks at the other. 'Me miras' (you look at me), 'te miro' (I look at you).

• Vamos allá, yo no muerdo más

  ➔ Negative statement with 'ya' or 'más' for limitation.

  ➔ The word 'más' adds emphasis, meaning 'I don’t bite anymore'. It implies reassurance or humor.

• Sabes a lo que vas

  ➔ Idiomatic expression with 'saber + a lo que'.

  ➔ Means 'you know what you're getting into' — confident tone. 'A lo que' introduces the object of knowledge.

• Conmigo es otro nivel

  ➔ Copular structure with 'ser' indicating identity or equivalence.

  ➔ 'Es' links the subject and predicate complement — expresses meaning 'It’s another level with me'.

• No tienes que disimular

  ➔ Modal construction with 'tener que + infinitive' for obligation.

  ➔ Means 'you don’t have to pretend'. The negative 'no tienes que' removes obligation.

• Apúntale otra victoria para él

  ➔ Imperative form with indirect object pronoun 'le'.

  ➔ The command 'Apúntale' means 'mark one for him'. 'Le' refers to 'him', showing indirect object.

• Mi casa es su casa

  ➔ Possessive adjective agreement and copular sentence.

  ➔ Means 'My house is your house'. 'Mi' and 'su' agree in gender/number with 'casa'.
