Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Jump!

W, with

If you’re not dancing with her, jump!

Y, Yandel

If you’re not grinding with her, jump!

Luny!, half a million copies, guaranteed

If you’re not dancing with her, jump!

The legendary duo, the most flow

To do it to her (zumba)

Rakata, rakata

If she sticks to me, I’ll give it to her

Rakata, rakata

Tonight I want to do it to her

Rakata, rakata

If she sticks to me, I’ll give it to her

Rakata, rakata, eh-eh (it’s my turn)

Canpicu, the frontú has arrived

Don’t try to shut me down, because you’ll shut yourself down

W, turn off her light

Babe, rev up that booty hard

She’s got twenty enemies

Two friends, screen on her belly

Tattoo on her bladder

In the twerking, she kills the game

Keep going! (keep going, keep going)

To do it to her

Rakata, rakata

If she sticks to me, I’ll give it to her

Rakata, rakata

Tonight I want to do it to her

Rakata, rakata

If she sticks to me, I’ll give it to her

Rakata, rakata, eh-eh (Nelly, let’s go)

She likes it when Wisin pulls her hair

Shout it (papi, give me what I want)

Feel the pressure of the streets

Shout it (papi, give me what I want)

Sweetie, give me a kiss that tastes like caramel

Shout it (papi, give me what I want)

Babe, that drink needs ice

Shout it (papi, give me what I want)

Well, take what’s yours, no pride

I’ve got the water for that bud

Babe, stop the whispering

Take it, it’s yours

To do it to her

Rakata, rakata

If she sticks to me, I’ll give it to her

Rakata, rakata

Tonight I want to do it to her

Rakata, rakata

If she sticks to me, I’ll give it to her

Rakata, rakata, eh-eh

Luny!

Now we’re working from half a million and up

Yo tengo el agua pa ese capullo

Mami, deja el murmullo

Cógelo que es tuyo

Key Grammar Structures

• Si no estás bailando con ella, ¡salte!

  ➔ Conditional clause with "si" + present progressive

  ➔ The word "si" introduces a condition; "estás bailando" is in the present progressive, indicating an ongoing action.

• Si se me pega voy a darle

  ➔ Future intention with "ir a" + infinitive

  ➔ "voy a" expresses a near‑future intention; the infinitive "darle" shows the action that will be performed.

• ¡Luny! Ahora hay que trabajar de medio millón pa arriba

  ➔ Impersonal construction "hay que" + infinitive

  ➔ "hay que" creates an impersonal statement meaning "it is necessary to"; the infinitive "trabajar" tells what must be done.

• Le gusta que Wisin la jale por el pelo

  ➔ Subjunctive after "gustar" (que + subjunctive)

  ➔ "gusta" requires a subjunctive clause; "que Wisin la jale" uses the subjunctive "jale" to express a desired action.

• Grítalo (papi, dame lo que quiero)

  ➔ Relative pronoun "lo que" introducing a noun clause

  ➔ "lo que" means "what"; it introduces the clause "quiero", which functions as the object of "dame".

• No trates de apagarme, porque te apagas tú

  ➔ Imperative mood + causal conjunction "porque"

  ➔ "Trates" is the negative imperative of "tratar"; "porque" introduces the cause "te apagas tú" (you turn yourself off).

• Siga! (siga, siga)

  ➔ Formal imperative (Usted/Ustedes) repeated for emphasis

  ➔ "Siga" is the formal command form of "seguir" (you all/you formal); the repetition adds intensity.

• Ellos lo saben

  ➔ Simple present tense, third‑person plural

  ➔ "Saben" is the present indicative of "saber" for "ellos"; it conveys a factual statement.

• Para hacerle (zumba)

  ➔ "Para" + infinitive expressing purpose

  ➔ "Para" introduces the purpose of the action; "hacerle" (to do to her) is the infinitive that follows.
