[English]

Wow, I was somewhere else

Oh, wow, I was somewhere else

Have you missed me? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

I haven't forgotten, where you've ended up

We are tied together, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

You're a stranger to some guy from Cartagena

The only one who stops me, the one who doesn't burn me

You're not going anywhere, you make an unhappy man happy

I'm yours, you're mine, auh

I know you thought I wouldn't come back this time

I know you don't vibe with anyone else

I had to come back, I came back to my baby

You met me in the streets

I know you thought I wouldn't come back this time

I know you don't vibe with anyone else

I had to come back, I came back to my baby

You met me in the streets

I had another one, you get demonic on me

You get angry, you love me, but you hate me

All your melodies are in my memory

And these parodies don't win and are bitter

You have a wide body, I came down armed and in a hoodie

I only think about today, your key is in the lobby

.22 in my Rolex, .22 comb

I was lost and she left me on read

If you have another, keep it a secret

Baby, don't make me look for him

I'll crash him in the middle of Baldo

Without Palmolive, washing the money

Baby, you're a doll

You look like a Barbie doll

Do delivering the cookie

Like the Boy Scouts

In La Quinta they know us

We always break the mall

I bought a full, a Dracito

It was hot like the sun

Enough, enough, come

Spend, spend, ma

Spend, spend, come

You won't be alone

I know you thought I wouldn't come back this time

I know you don't vibe with anyone else

I had to come back, I came back to my baby

You met me in the streets

I know you thought I wouldn't come back this time

I know you don't vibe with anyone else

I had to come back, I came back to my baby

You met me in the streets

Oh, wow, I was somewhere else

Have you missed me? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

I haven't forgotten, where you've ended up

We are tied together, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

You're a stranger to some guy from Cartagena

The only one who stops me, the one who doesn't burn me

You're not going anywhere, you make an unhappy man happy

I'm yours, you're mine, ah

Oh, wow, I was somewhere else

Have you missed me? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

I haven't forgotten, where you've ended up

We are tied together, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

[Spanish]

Wow, estaba por otro lado

Oh, wow, estaba por otro lado

¿Me has extrañado? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

Yo no me he olvidado, dónde tú has quedado

Estamos atados, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

Tú eres ajena de un tal Cartagena

La única que me frena, la que no me quema

Tú no vas pa ningún lado, tú haces feliz a un infeliz

Yo soy de ti, tú eres de mí, auh

Yo sé que habías pensado que no volvería esta vez

Yo sé que tú no fluyes con más nadie

Tuve que volver, volví pa donde mi bebé

Tú a mí me conociste en la calle

Yo sé que habías pensado que no volvería esta vez

Yo sé que tú no fluyes con más nadie

Tuve que volver, volví pa donde mi bebé

Tú a mí me conociste en la calle

Yo tuve otra, te me endemonias

Tú te me enmostras, me amas, pero me odias

En mi memoria todas tus melodías

Y estas parodias no ganan y están mordidas

Tú tienes un wide body, yo bajé armado y en hoodie

Yo solo pienso en hoy, tu llave está en el lobby

22 en mi Roleta, peine .22

Estaba perdido y me deja en leído

Si tienes otro, guárdalo en secreto

Bebé, no me hagas buscarlo

Yo le estrello en el medio de la Baldo

Sin Palmolive, el dinero lavando

Bebé, tú eres una muñeca

Tú pareces Barbie doll

Do repartiendo galleta

Como los boy scouts

En la Quinta nos conocen

Siempre rompemos el mall

Me compré un full, un Draquito

Estaba caliente como el sol

Basta, basta, ven

Gasta, gasta, ma

Gasta, gasta, ven

No estarás sola

Yo sé que habías pensado que no volvería esta vez

Yo sé que tú no fluyes con más nadie

Tuve que volver, volví pa donde mi bebé

Tú a mí me conociste en la calle

Yo sé que habías pensado que no volvería esta vez

Yo sé que tú no fluyes con más nadie

Tuve que volver, volví pa donde mi bebé

Tú a mí me conociste en la calle

Oh, wow, estaba por otro lado

¿Me has extrañado? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

Yo no me he olvidado, dónde tú has quedado

Estamos atados, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

Tú eres ajena de un tal Cartagena

La única que me frena, la que no me quema

Tú no vas pa ningún lado, tú haces feliz a un infeliz

Yo soy de ti, tú eres de mí, ah

Oh, wow, estaba por otro lado

¿Me has extrañado? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

Yo no me he olvidado, dónde tú has quedado

Estamos atados, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh
