Let’s go
It’s so hot, que ca in the club
It’s so hot, yeca For the doll
Please, que ca In the club
It’s so hot, yeca For the doll, please
That blonde doesn’t understand me if I speak to her in Spanish
But she learned the song to perfection (she knows it)
For my homeland, for my nation No discrimination
There’s no race or religion here Dance it out of obligation
It’s so hot (x2)
It’s so hot, yeca in the club
It’s so hot, yeca For the doll
I eat women steamed At the beach bathed in sweat
Bikinis look better on you You are my love (more, more, more)
Every time I see that booty and go crazy Yo get down mami with a lot of rhythm
Few in the world move it like you come on, come on, dance crazy
Few in the world move it like you come on, come on, dance crazy
Few in the world move it like you
Global warming, The animal is loose
Put your hands up if your real This is going to go viral
It’s so hot, que ca in the club
It’s so hot, yeca For the doll
Please, que ca In the club
It’s so hot, yeca For the doll, please
It’s so hot
It's so hot, yeca in the club
It’s so hot, yeca For the doll
Please
It’s Colombia
It’s not Columbia Alright
Co-lom-bia Not Columbia
Cumbia
Move it-te-te Te-te-te-te-(repeated)
