[English]

If you're not gonna do anything

Don't act all stuck-up on me, mama

If you're not gonna do anything

...

If you're not gonna dance

Don't act all stuck-up on me

That role of a good girl doesn't suit you

No, don't come to me saying you don't do anything

You're a grown woman now

If you're not gonna dance

Don't act all stuck-up on me

That role of a good girl doesn't suit you

No, don't come to me saying you don't do anything

You're a grown woman now

If you're not gonna dance

If you're not gonna let loose or do anything

You'd better just stay over there, and that's it

I'll keep going calmly

I'm sure you'll feel it with me, hey

I know by law

I'm gonna be the king of your day

The one who gives the green light, okay

To turn your boyfriend into an ox

I go for them all anyway

I'm sure you'll feel it with me, hey

Don't start making things up

I'm not gonna fall for that story

Count to 3, you better start singing

Something, you weren't there, mom, snoring

Advocating, let's get to the mambo with flair

That good girl act doesn't suit you

Change the movie

Tonight you're gonna be a pity

You challenged the king of the club scene

And there's trouble

You challenged the one who heats things up for all

And there's trouble

No mercy, with reggaeton I'll kill you

Mommy, get ready, feel the lion as it bites

Tonight you'll be a woman loved by a real gangster

But tomorrow, without the strength or desire to move it

If you're not gonna dance

Don't act all stuck-up on me

That role of a good girl doesn't suit you

No, don't come to me saying you don't do anything

You're a grown woman now

If you're not gonna dance

Don't act all stuck-up on me

That role of a good girl doesn't suit you

No, don't come to me saying you don't do anything

You're a grown woman now

If you're not gonna dance

Don't come here to confuse me

And speak clearly if you're gonna commit

Because I want to dance with you, have fun with you

Come on, let's go set it on fire

Girl, don't give me that face

The bad girl vibe doesn't suit you

Let yourself be carried away by desire

Behave, don't act spoiled

Or I'm gonna have to give you a couple of spankings

Your handsome tamer has arrived

Your hungry lion, see

Who even eats the plates

So drop that act for me, stuck-up mama

The one who squeezes you has arrived

Let's go have fun with your little self for a while

And you decide, mom, I'll kill you, I'll kill you

Later don't accuse me of mistreatment

Take a turn, mommy, make a move for me

The urge is coming over me

If you're not gonna do anything

Don't act all stuck-up on me, mama

If you're not gonna do anything

If you're not gonna dance

Don't act all stuck-up on me

That role of a good girl doesn't suit you

No, don't come to me saying you don't do anything

You're a grown woman now

If you're not gonna dance

Don't act all stuck-up on me

That role of a good girl doesn't suit you

No, don't come to me saying you don't do anything

You're a grown woman now

...

Cucaste al rey de el discotequeo

Déjate llevar por las ganas

Pórtate bien, no te pongas malcriada

O te voy a tener que dar par de nalgadas

Llego tu mansa guapo

Tu león palgo, zato

Así que túmbame ese guille potrona mamita

Llegó el que te estruja

Vámonos a bacilar con tu selvita un rato

Y tu decides mai te mato, te mato

Después no me acuses de maltrato

Da una vuelta mami hazme un garabato

Se me esta subiendo el arrebato
