Lyrics & Translation

Dive into the golden era of Puerto Rican Reggaeton with "Ponte Ahí." This track is perfect for learning the vibrant, informal language of the dance floor (or 'perreo' culture). You'll master the commanding and flirtatious use of Spanish verbs and popular urban slang, all set to an infectious, high-energy beat that makes it a special piece of Latin urban history.

[English]

Oooooh get over here, get over here, get here

Ooooooh get over here, get over here, get here

Ooooh get over here, get over here, get here

Ooooh get over here, get over here, get here

Come here, let me caress you

Kiss you all over and on your neck

Dance it my way or however you want

I hope you’re ready, speak clearly, don’t leave me hanging

Come here, let me caress you

Kiss you all over and on your neck

Dance it my way or however you want, I hope you’re ready to take the heat

Reggaeton’s a knockout, and if it doesn’t work, get in line or I’ll kick you out

Reggaeton’s a knockout, and if it doesn’t work, get in line

Get in line, get in line, get in line

Move it, my hot little black girl, get over here

Go on, girl

Don’t wait for the remix

Now get on all fours so I can see

What’s left to see, I’ve already seen

Now you hit me with that smooth flow

Girl, find yourself a ring

When five of you travel

You went over the edge

Tasty like an abyss

Keep the party going

Reggaeton came from there

The ones today, I’m giving it to them

I never forget the daily fun

We formed a crew, smoking like bosses

Let me see you, entertain you, and please you

Look, dad, the crew went wild

Look at your face, you’re bad, nothing’s happened here, you look amazing

Move, get in, you’re all over the place

Tonight you’re going to lose it

Come here, let me caress you

Kiss you all over and on your neck

Dance it my way or however you want

I hope you’re ready, speak clearly, don’t leave me hanging

Come here, let me caress you

Kiss you all over and on your neck

Dance it my way or however you want

I hope you’re ready to take the heat

Reggaeton’s a knockout, and if it doesn’t work, get in line or I’ll kick you out

Reggaeton’s a knockout, and if it doesn’t work, get in line

Go on, girl, get up and move that button

Break your hips to the rhythm of this song

With reggaeton, I’m putting pressure on you today

Heating you up is what’s in action

Turn around, let yourself go

I know you like it when they hit you from behind

I’m going to kidnap you from here and escape

To finish what we just started

Grinding from the front and from behind

Go on, get over here

Grinding from the front and from behind

Go on, get over here

Oooooh get over here, get over here, get here

Ooooooh get over here, get over here, get here

Ooooh get over here, get over here, get here

Ooooh get over here, get over here, get here

Get over here. Come here, let me caress you

Kiss you all over and on your neck

Dance it my way or however you want

I hope you’re ready, speak clearly, don’t leave me hanging

Come here, let me caress you

Kiss you all over and on your neck

Dance it my way or however you want

I hope you’re ready to take the heat

What’s next? The party’s over

I want to take the vibe out for a walk

I’m injected with alcohol

Get over here, break the front

It’s still early, the night’s just starting

Let’s break it down, you gotta start somewhere

Fill your mind, smoke the good stuff

Reggaeton’s in position to be my prey (hold on)

Hit it like it’s a schnitzel

Change the story, in the club no one’s jealous

In my motto, waiting, looking for the whole thing

Reggaeton’s in position to be my prey (hold on)

Hit it like it’s a schnitzel

Change the story, in the club no one’s jealous

In my motto, waiting, looking for the whole thing

Go on, get over here

...

Oooooh get over here, get over here, get here

Ooooooh get over here, get over here, get here

Ooooh get over here, get over here, get here

Ooooh get over here, get over here, get here

...
