Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Nah, oh, nah, nah

Nah, oh, nah, nah

Hey, mama

Hey, here I am

Parked in the same spot where I met you

Everything playing on the radio

Reminds me of you, you there and me here

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

I keep thinking about your lips

I lock myself within four walls

Such a beautiful story

You don’t see it these days

And I’m so crazy, so crazy

I keep thinking about your dance

Look at the moon and feel me whispering in your ear

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Such a beautiful story

You don’t see it these days

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Look at the moon and feel me whispering in your ear

Oh! With a rose, I won her over

Dancing dancehall, I took her with me

And without a breeze, I got her wet

Without touching her, I undressed her

She became so 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 lips

I lock myself within four walls

Such a beautiful story

You don’t see it these days

And I’m so crazy, so crazy

Always thinking about your dance

Look at the moon and feel me whispering in your ear

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Such a beautiful story

You don’t see it these days

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah

Such a beautiful story

You don’t see it these days

(Nah, oh, nah, nah)

(Nah, oh, nah, nah)

Yo, Gangsta

(Nah, oh, nah, nah)

You don’t see it these days

(Nah, oh, nah, nah)

(Nah, oh, nah, nah)

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

Key Grammar Structures

• Y yo no sé si pueda, pero sigo

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after a clause of doubt (no sé si + subjunctive)

  ➔ The verb "pueda" is in the subjunctive because the speaker is unsure: "no sé si "**pueda**"".

• Sigo pensando en tu boca

  ➔ Gerund after the verb "seguir" to indicate continuous action

  ➔ "pensando" is a gerund that follows "sigo" to mean "I keep **thinking**".

• Me encierro en cuatro paredes

  ➔ Reflexive verb to indicate that the subject performs the action on itself

  ➔ The pronoun "Me" makes "encierro" reflexive: I "**lock myself**" in four walls.

• Una historia tan hermosa

  ➔ Use of "tan" + adjective for emphasis (comparative of degree)

  ➔ "tan" intensifies "hermosa": "a story **so** beautiful".

• Mira la Luna y siente que estoy al oído susurrando

  ➔ Imperative mood + subordinate clause with "que" + present progressive

  ➔ "Mira" and "siente" are imperatives; "que estoy susurrando" uses "que" + present progressive "**estoy susurrando**".

• Con una rosa, la conquisté

  ➔ Prepositional phrase + simple past with direct object pronoun "la"

  ➔ "la" refers to a feminine object (the girl) and is placed before the verb "conquisté" (I "**conquered her**").

• Bailando dancehall, me la llevé

  ➔ Gerund phrase as adverbial modifier + pronoun "me la" before past verb

  ➔ "Bailando" (dancing) modifies the whole clause; "me la" means "to me it" – "I **took it** (her) while dancing".

• Se puso hermosa, bien lo sabes

  ➔ Reflexive verb "ponerse" + informal pronoun "lo" as direct object

  ➔ "Se puso" is reflexive (became); "lo" refers to the fact that she is beautiful: "She **became beautiful**, you know **it**".

• Que me tiene loco con ese vaivén, eh

  ➔ Relative clause introduced by "que" describing effect on the subject

  ➔ "Que" introduces a relative clause: "**that makes me crazy** with that swing".
