Lyrics & Translation

Dive into Daddy Yankee's electrifying track "Rompe" to experience the raw energy of mainstream reggaeton! While the lyrics are fast-paced and focus on dance, understanding the core Spanish commands and phrases like "rompe" (break/shake it) and "dale" (go for it) is a fantastic way to connect with the driving rhythm and culture of the genre.

You know

The bosses are ready

The girls are ready

And we're ready on the street

Yeah, yeah, we're ready

The neighborhoods are ready

One, two, get ready, come on!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Break it, break it, break it, looking good

Break it, break it, break it, that body she—

Break it, break it, break it, looking good

Are you ready?

Break it, break it, break it, break it down

Break it, break it, break it, the way she moves, she—

Break it, break it, break it, break it down

Let's go

My girl doesn’t hold back when it’s time to shake her pum-pum

With curves hotter than the south, right through

Show me if you’ve got the attitude, baby

Come on, go! Come on, go! Come on, go! Go!

Time, the moment has come, baby, to lose control

Work that body like a shot of Winstrol

Raise that passion, give me movement

Slow, slow, she—

Break it, break it, break it, looking good

Break it, break it, break it, that body she—

Break it, break it, break it, looking good

Are you ready?

Break it, break it, break it, break it down

Break it, break it, break it, the way she moves, she—

Break it, break it, break it, break it down

G-Go! G-Go! G-Go! G-Go!

I’m chilling, relaxed, that’s right

Looking for a girl that falls

Don’t hide all that you got

Hey, baby, what’s up?

I’m chilling, relaxed, that’s right

Looking for a girl that falls

Don’t hide all that you bring

What’s up, partner, what’s going on?

(What!? What!? What!? What!?)

Damn, dude, did you think this was easy?

I’m not gonna quit, drop that Scarface style

Get out my way, you don’t even sell on eBay

You’re no good, with me you’re Frito-Lay

Check the swing

That sticks to all the girls more than a G-string

I’m the nightmare of all the dream teams

Your magazine’s out of ammo

Don’t mess with me, bro, I’m like Listerine

Daddy you—

Break it, break it, break it, looking good

Break it, break it, break it, that body she—

Break it, break it, break it, looking good

Are you ready?

Break it, break it, break it, break it down

Break it, break it, break it, the way she moves, she—

Break it, break it, break it, break it down

Let's go

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
