[Español]

[English]

Rabiosa

Furious

Yo tengo pila 'e loco' haciendo cola

I have a lot of crazy people waiting in line

Tengo al palomo metio en lío'

I have the guy caught up in trouble

Y yo te quiero atracao ahí, ratatá

And I want you trapped there, ratatat

Que yo te quiero a quiniento' y perdio

Because I want you at five hundred and lost

Mentiras son dividí contigo

Lies are divided with you

Porque esa vuelta no es pa' mí

Because that turn is not for me

Que yo te quiero amarra'o aquí

Because I want you tied up here

Oye, mami, vuélvete loca

Hey, baby, go crazy

Arúñame la espalda y muérdeme la boca

Scratch my back and bite my mouth

Oye, papi, vuélveme loca

Hey, daddy, make me crazy again

Arúñame la espalda y muérdeme la boca

Scratch my back and bite my mouth
