[English]

Salte (we in the building, are you all in?)

Si no estás bailando con ella, salte (with my family)

(Oh, yeah) Wisin y Yandel

Si no estás perreando con ella, salte (Nelly, W el sobreviviente, Yandel)

Si no estás bailando con ella, salte (El Dream Team, Luny Tunes)

(C'mon) para hacerle

(Rakata, rakata) si se me pega, voy a darle

(Rakata, rakata) esta noche quiero hacerle

(Rakata, rakata) si se me pega, voy a darle

(Rakata, rakata) eh-eh

(C'mon) yo', know all my ladies say, "I call you papi"

Wisin literally on top gon' hurt mami

Maybe a little napkin, I touch your middle by the bar?

You freak, freak to God, I break, break you off

We gon' leave in my coup with the roof that's cut off

I stay by the bar, sippin' shots of Patron

I don't care that she whispered to care 'bout her hair

I'm already envisioning pulling the hair

Backshots to the rear, 'cause women can't deny that

Guap that Bentley all night

The house on the hill with the six-car garage

The Gucci, the Fendi, the Louis Vuitton

The Ruby, the Don in the club with bottles of Pinot Grigio rosé

So icy like Gucci, man, tryna get up in that coochie, man

If she fun I'ma bag her friend

And menage with both of them like

(Rakata, rakata) si se me pega, voy a darle

(Rakata, rakata) esta noche quiero hacerle

(Rakata, rakata) si se me pega, voy a darle

(Rakata, rakata) eh-eh

(Sube la' mano', latino)

Toma cool, cool, Hennessy con Red Bull

Remezclando Rakata, Wisin y Yandel y Ja Rule

Postea'o el corillo con el full

Y con ella pasándola cool y

Le gusta que Wisin la jale por el pelo

Grítelo (papi, dame lo que quiero)

Sienta la presión del callejero

Grítelo (papi, dame lo que quiero)

Bizcochito, dame un beso con sabor a caramelo

Grítelo (papi, dame lo que quiero)

Cielo, ese trago le hace falta hielo

Grítelo (papi, dame lo que quiero)

Pues, tenga lo suyo, sin orgullo

Yo tengo el agua pa' ese capullo

(Tss) mami, deja el murmullo

Coge lo que es tuyo, tu-tu-tuyo (para hacerle)

(Rakata, rakata) si se me pega, voy a darle

(Rakata, rakata) esta noche quiero hacerle

(Rakata, rakata) si se me pega, voy a darle

(Rakata, rakata) eh-eh

Esto es otro nivel, Luny Tunes

'W', el sobreviviente, Yandel

Nelly, el arma secreta

Con Ja Rule (Puerto Rico, DR, Dominicana)

If y'all ain't know, PR

It's the R-U-L-E, baby

C'mon, ah, c'mon

(Luny Tunes) Winsin y Yandel

C'mon, it's the remix (más flow, dos)

Y próximo, Wisin y Yandel pa'l mundo
