[English]

Na, oh, na, na

Na, oh, na, na

Ay, mami

Ay, here I am

Parked in the same spot where I met you

Everything that plays on the radio

Reminds me of you, you over there and me here

And I don't know if I can, but I keep going

I keep thinking about your mouth

I lock myself within four walls

Such a beautiful story

You don't see it these days

And me so crazy, so crazy

I keep thinking about your dance

Look at the moon and feel me whispering in your ear

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Such a beautiful story

You don't see it these days

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Look at the moon and feel me whispering in your ear

Ay! With a rose, I conquered her

Dancing dancehall, I took her away

And without a breeze, I made her wet

Without touching her, I undressed her

She became beautiful, you know it well

And every day I let her know

That she drives me crazy with that sway, eh

And I keep going

I keep thinking about your mouth

I lock myself within four walls

Such a beautiful story

You don't see it these days

And me so crazy, so crazy

Always thinking about your dance

Look at the moon and feel me whispering in your ear

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Such a beautiful story

You don't see it these days

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Such a beautiful story

You don't see it these days

(Na, oh, na, na)

(Na, oh, na, na)

Yo, Gangsta

(Na, oh, na, na)

You don't see it these days

(Na, oh, na, na)

(Na, oh, na, na)

Such a beautiful story

You don't see it these days

[Spanish]

Na, oh, na, na

Na, oh, na, na

Ay, mami

Ay, aquí estoy yo

Parqueado en el mismo lugar donde te conocí

Todo lo que suena en la radio

Me recuerda a vos, vos allá y yo acá

Y yo no sé si pueda, pero sigo

Sigo pensando en tu boca

Me encierro en cuatro paredes

Una historia tan hermosa

En estos tiempos no se ve

Y yo tan loco, tan loco

Sigo pensando en tu baile

Mira la Luna y siente que estoy al oído susurrando

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Una historia tan hermosa

En estos tiempos no se ve

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Mira la Luna y siente que estoy al oído susurrando

¡Ay! Con una rosa, la conquisté

Bailando dancehall, me la llevé

Y sin brisa, yo la mojé

Sin tocarla, la desnudé

Se puso hermosa, bien lo sabes

Y to'os los días le hago saber

Que me tiene loco con ese vaivén, eh

Y sigo

Sigo pensando en tu boca

Me encierro en cuatro paredes

Una historia tan hermosa

En estos tiempos no se ve

Y yo tan loco, tan loco

Siempre pensando en tu baile

Mira la Luna y siente que estoy al oído susurrando

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Una historia tan hermosa

En estos tiempos no se ve

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Oh, na, na

Una historia tan hermosa

En estos tiempos no se ve

(Na, oh, na, na)

(Na, oh, na, na)

Yo, Gangsta

(Na, oh, na, na)

En estos tiempos no se ve

(Na, oh, na, na)

(Na, oh, na, na)

Una historia tan hermosa

En estos tiempos no se ve
