Mirame – Bilingual Lyrics Spanish/English

• By: Daddy Yankee, Deevani

Lyrics & Translation

Dive into the world of early 2000s Reggaeton with 'Mírame,' a chart-topping hit that offers an excellent opportunity to learn colloquial Spanish, especially phrases of intense desire and street-smart swagger (like Daddy Yankee's 'Ya llegó tu gángster'). What makes it truly special is the fusion with a Hindi-language hook, a unique cross-cultural element that expands your musical vocabulary and cultural appreciation beyond just the Latin rhythm.

[English]

Eli, Eli

Eli, Eli

(What’s this riddle?)

(What’s this riddle?)

(Why is it like this?)

(Why is it like this?)

(It happens, my friend)

(It happens, my friend)

(My restless movements)

(My restless movements)

(My loneliness)

(My loneliness)

(My restless movements)

(My restless movements)

(So alone)

(So alone)

Look at me, look at me

Witch’s eye, kill me

I want to feel you

Your gangster’s here

I feel so alone

I want to devour you

The night is dark (Daddy!)

Witch’s eye, enchant me (Daddy!)

I set the record straight

Your studio bad boy, no masks here

It’s the real you that your eyes aimed for

A soldier with street honors and bravery (Cangri!)

Keep sneaking in

I’ve got your back

Incense, baby, and expensive Perignon

I bet you’ll leave if I pull you

This cat’s naughty and bad

Sombariari

Move, mama

Sweeten up with your sugar Daddy Yankee

By law, mama, no breaks

A bed of roses for the king’s cangri

Pound for pound, I’m the best

I’ve passed seven figures

But who saves me from envy?

Your accent’s from India

So bring me a tsunami of good vibes

The magic in your eyes, I can see it

(Look at me, look at me)

(What you make me feel)

(My desire is only you)

(I can’t even sleep anymore)

(I feel so alone)

(I need you)

(Luny Tunes, come, please)

(And give me a little more)

Look at me, look at me

Witch’s eye, kill me

I want to feel you

Your gangster’s here

I feel so alone

I want to devour you

The night is dark

Witch’s eye, enchant me

Outlaw and streetwise

But a true gentleman

Crazy to break the ice, put out the fire

Of that horny cat

Tre, two, one

The sun of Reggaeton, still shining strong

I’m the past, present, and future

Bark, bark, and I’ll kick, Gallo Bolo!

The numbers speak for themselves

Master of rhythm since childhood

With Luny Tunes, I walk with elegance

I know it hurts

But I’ll spend my cash on the girl with witch’s eyes

Go ahead and do it!

(Look at me, look at me)

(What you make me feel)

(My desire is only you)

(I can’t even sleep anymore)

(My restless movements)

(My restless movements)

(My loneliness)

(My loneliness)

(My restless movements)

(My restless movements)

(So alone)

(So alone)

Daddy!

With who?

Luny Tunes, Nesty, Nelly!

More, more, what?

Más Flow, Part Two!

You’re at the top

But I’m at the Mecca

So grab your gear and walk

Because you’ve got a long way to go

(He, he, ha, ha)

Cartel, coming soon!

Luny!

Who’s this?

Da-ddy Yan-kee!

(Keakeye pageni)

क्या है यह पहेली

(Ezabeza kuchekiu)

ऐसा वैसा कुछ क्यूँ

(Jotajese jeni)

होता है सहेली

(Meriankeraio)

मेरी अंगड़ाइयाँ

(Meretanajaio)

(Meriankeraio)

मेरी अंगड़ाइयाँ

(Ke tinia keni)

कितनी अकेली

Mírame, mírame

Ojo' brujo' mátame

Que quiero sentirte

Ya llegó tu gánster

Me siento tan solo

Quiero devorarte

La noche está oscura (¡Daddy!)

Ojo' brujo' hechízame (¡Daddy!)

Pongo los puntos claros

Tu' maliante de estudio, no me enmascaro

Fue a lo real que tus ojos le apuntaron

A un soldado con honores callejeros y bravo (¡Cangri!)

Síguete cuela

Te tengo vela

Incienso, nena, y Perignon del caro

Yo te lo apuesto que te vas si te jalo

Este gato es travieso y malo

Sombariari

Mueve, mami

Acaramelá' de tu sugar Daddy Yankee

Por ley, mami, no hay break

Cama de rosas pa' la cangri del rey

Es mejor libra por libra

Ya pase la siete cifras

¿Pero de la envidia quién me libra?

Tu acento es de la india

Pues traeme un tsunami de buena vibra

Que la magia en tu mirada yo la puedo ver

(Mírame, mírame)

(Lo que tú me haces sentir)

(Mi deseo es solo tú)

(Ya no puedo ni dormir)

(Me siento tan sola)

(Yo te necesito)

(Luny Tunes, ven, por favor)

(Y dame otro poquito)

Mírame, mírame

Ojo' brujo' mátame

Que quiero sentirte

Ya llego tu gangster

Me siento tan solo

Quiero devorarte

La noche está oscura

Ojo' brujo' hechízame

Bandolero y callejero

Pero todo un caballero

Loco por romper el hielo, apagar el fuego

De esa gata en celo

Tre', two, one

El sol del Reggaeton el que sigue brillando bien duro

Mere, soy el pasado, presente y futuro

Ronca, ronca y te patié Gallo Bolo!

Los número' hablan por sí solo'

Dueño de la sandunga desde la infancia

Con Luny Tunes los paseo con elegancia

Yo sé que duele

Pero voy a gastar mis cheles con la nena de ojo' brujos'

Arranca y dele!

(Mírame, mírame)

(Lo que tú me haces sentir)

(Mi deseo es solo tú)

(Ya no puedo ni dormir)

(Meriankeraio)

मेरी अंगड़ाइयाँ

(Meretanajaio)

मेरी तन्हाईयाँ

(Meriankeraio)

मेरी अंगड़ाइयाँ

(Kitni akeli)

कितनी अकेली

Daddy!

With who?

¡Luny Tunes, Nesty, Nelly!

Más, más, ¿qué?

Más Flow, Part Two!

Ustedes estan en la cima

Pero yo estoy en la Mecca

Así que cojan motetes y caminen

Porque mucho camino les restan

(He, he, ha, ha)

Cartel, coming soon!

Luny!

Who's this?

Da-ddy Yan-kee!
