You'll learn essential vocabulary for partying and expressing high energy—for instance, the title itself is a popular idiom for 'to get lit.'

[English]

Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh

Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh

Yeah

Tonight I want the night to come out, to break it, to break it

Baby, turn your back to me, to break it, to break it

Tonight I want the night to come out, to break it, to break it

Mamacita, turn your back to me, to break it, to break it (ki-king Don)

Baby, let's break it

I know you went out to mess around

Look pretty for me so I can upload a couple videos to my cell

And send me your location so I can come pick you up

And if we hit the dance floor, I'm gonna make it explode

I'm gonna give you the full comb-over, like a big shot's pistol

Made up so no one can tell we've been out all night

And we're out until sunrise in the boat

Let's drink, let's smoke, a song to show off

And a friend for your friend who wants to get with her

You like the money, and with me you're gonna spend it

Front on these fools like your daddy has you, for real

Pass it, it's lit

She's always doing her own thing

And I'm always doing mine, don't stop, go on

With your back turned, you're mine

I've got you lit up

You're always doing your own thing

I'm always doing mine

I want the night to come out, to break it, to break it

Baby, turn your back to me, to break it, to break it

Tonight I want the night to come out, to break it, to break it

Mamacita, turn your back to me, to break it, to break it

Hey, hey, I want you to play with me like I'm a Playstation

Let the dembow play and don't give me a break

The king got together with the king

So she can move her ass like it's 2006 (hey)

Hey, come on, don't be shy, break it, you bad girl

'Cause I'm the hardest one right now

If they let her, she'd hang out 24 hours

She's not looking to get married, especially not now

You're looking fine and you know it

You're looking fine and you know it

A couple of haters who can't stand her

Me giving it to her and her boyfriend watching the Jordan series

If they come at me, don't hide, no

If they come at me, don't hide

After this they're gonna get jealous

But don't worry, I'll send you a PayPal

The Louis Vuittons are clear and the stacks are hundreds

It's with me that your girl gets wild

I have her trembling and it's not from the cops

Here, you use it if you pull it out

And I want the night to come out to break it, to break it

Baby, turn your back to me to break it, to break it

Tonight I want the night to come out to break it, to break it

Mamacita, turn your back to me to break it, to break it

Ya, ya, ya, ya

Bad Bunny, baby

Don (ki-king Don)

We sleep during the day and make money at night

Y si tocamo' la pista, vo'a hacer que explote

Te vo'a meter el peine full como pistola de bichote

Maquillada pa que no se note que salimo' de noche

Y andamo' amanecío en el bote

Vamo' a beber, vamo' a fumar, una rola pa pichar

Y un amigo pa tu amiga que se la quiera tirar

A ti te gusta el triki y conmigo lo vo' a gastar

Frontéale a esto' loco' como te tiene el papá, al día

Pásala que está prendía

Ella siempre en la suya

Y yo siempre en la mía, no le pare', dale

De espalda eres mía

Te tengo prendía

Tú siempre de la tuya

Yo siempre de la mía

Quiero que la noche salga, pa romperla, pa romperla

Baby, póngase de espalda, pa romperla, pa' romperla

Hoy quiero que la noche salga, pa romperla, pa romperla

Mamacita, póngase de espalda, pa romperla, pa romperla

Hey, hey, quiero que juegue' conmigo como si fuera un Play

Que suene el dembow y no me des break

Que se juntó el rey con el rey

Pa que mueva el culo como en el 2006 (hey)

Hey, y dale, no sea' tímida, rompe abusadora

Que yo soy el más duro de ahora

Si la dejan, janguea 24 hora'

No está pa casarse y mucho meno' ahora

Tú está' dura y lo sabe'

Tú está' dura y lo sabe'

Un par de hater' que no la soportan

Yo dándole y el novio en la serie Jordan

Si me tiran, no se escondan, no

Si me tiran, no se escondan

Después de esto se van a picar

Pero tranquilo que yo le mando un PayPal

Las Louis Vuitton's clear y de cien las paca'

Conmigo es que tu baby se pone bellaca

La tengo temblando y no son las placa'

Aquí se usa si se saca

Y yo quiero que la noche salga pa romperla, pa romperla

Baby, póngase de espalda pa' romperla, pa' romperla

Hoy quiero que la noche salga pa romperla, pa romperla

Mamacita, póngase de espalda pa romperla, pa romperla

Ya, ya, ya, ya

Bad Bunny, baby

Don (ki-king Don)

Nosotros dormimos de día y hacemos dinero de noche
