[English]

A wine-colored dress, sun, sand and sea

She’s so addictive, supernatural

She took a shot to forget

That once they left her crying (crying)

She pretends it doesn’t hurt

That’s why she keeps on drinking (drinking)

Black pearls with Red Bull, always got her attitude

Love for the coffin, sexy dance, she went on a tour

Her friends tell her: make a blue page

So they see what they lost, oh-oh

Black pearls with Red Bull, always got her attitude

Love for the coffin, sexy dance, she went on a tour

Her friends tell her: make a blue page

So they see what they lost, what they lost

Now she's in the vibe

Posted a story on Insta looking so hot

Hearts raining down, millions wanting her

But she's got only one on her mind

I know what it feels like

I’ll ask for her phone, please, don’t stop me

I’m going for it, let’s see what comes out

I could be the cure for her troubles

‘Cause tonight, she and I are the same

Oh well, I ended up begging

‘Cause I know she gets lost with me (gets lost)

She gets lost

No one’s ever touched her like I do

That’s why she dies for me (dies for me)

And even when we’re not good

In bed, things work out and she comes (she comes)

She comes

If she’s seen with someone else

You know that’s not real, chill, baby (chill, baby)

Chill, baby

She took a shot to forget

That once they left her crying (crying)

She pretends it doesn’t hurt

And that’s why she keeps on drinking (drinking)

Black pearls with Red Bull, always got her attitude

Love for the coffin, sexy dance, she went on a tour

Her friends tell her: make a blue page

So they see what they lost, oh-oh

Black pearls with Red Bull, always got her attitude

Love for the coffin, sexy dance, she went on a tour

Her friends tell her: make a blue page

So they see what they lost, what they lost

...

[Spanish]

Un vestido color vino, sol, arena y mar

Ella es tan afrodisíaca, sobrenatural

Bebió un shot pa olvidar

Que una vez la dejaron llorando (llorando)

Finge que no le duele

Por eso se la lleva tomando (tomando)

Perla negra con Red Bull, y que no falte la actitud

El amor pa'l ataúd, sexy dance, se pegó un tour

Sus amigas le dicen que haga una página azul

Pa que vea lo que perdió, oh-oh

Perlas negras con Red Bull, que no falte la actitud

El amor pa'l ataúd, sexy dance, se pegó un tour

Sus amigas le dicen que haga una página azul

Pa que vean lo que perdió, que perdió

Ya metida en ambiente

Subió una historia al Insta que se veía tan ardiente

Le llueven corazones, millones de pretendientes

Pero ella solamente tiene uno en la mente

Yo sé lo que se siente

Le pediré su phone, por favor, no me paren

Voy a dar el salto pa ver qué me sale

Puedo ser el remedio para sus males

Porque esta noche ella y yo somos iguales

Pues ni modo, salí rogón

Porque sé que conmigo ella se pierde (se pierde)

Se pierde

Como yo nadie la tocó

Por eso es que conmigo ella se muere (se muere)

Y aunque a veces estamos mal

En la cama se arregla todo, y se viene (se viene)

Se viene

Si con otra me va a mirar

Tú bien sabes que no es real, tranqui, baby (tranqui, baby)

Tranqui, baby

Bebió un shot pa olvidar

Que una vez la dejaron llorando (llorando)

Finge que no le duele

Y por eso se la lleva tomando (tomando)

Perla negra con Red Bull, y que no falte la actitud

El amor pa'l ataúd, sexy dance, se pegó un tour

Sus amigas le dicen que haga una página azul

Pa que vea lo que perdió, oh-oh

Perlas negras con Red Bull, que no falte la actitud

El amor pa'l ataúd, sexy dance, se pegó un tour

Sus amigas le dicen que haga una página azul

Pa que vean lo que perdió, que perdió
