Lyrics & Translation
It's six o'clock in the morning
Are you playing? Are you balling?
AM (come on play, ah, uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
When I wake up in the morning
Girl, you know I'm not gon' be coming, come on
Here, kitty, kitty, here, kitty, kitty, ah
Come to me, be my "mamacita"
Need a big girl, not a little one
Samba me, my pretty girl
Give me what I want, come play with me
I give you ten points, get your body dancing
Here, kitty, kitty, here, kitty, kitty, ah
It's a party for me, "mamacita"
Midnight, she's in my head
You are my Cinderella, the party ends soon
I'm going crazy
We only wanna rumba
Dance, shake it, shake it
Sexy señorita, won't you come play, ah? Uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Until the night falls on us
I keep playing, I keep dancing
Come on, play, ah, uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Give me a kiss, give me a laugh
Sexy señorita, won't you come play, ah? Uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Until the night falls on us
I keep playing, I keep dancing
Come on, play, ah, uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Give me a kiss, give me a laugh
Girl, you need to go very fast, come on
Won't you come, won't you come play?
Won't you come, won't you come?
Here, kitty, kitty, here, kitty, kitty, ah
Come to me, be my "mamacita"
Need a big girl, not a little one
Samba me, my pretty girl
Give me what I want, come play with me
I give you ten points, get your body dancing
Here, kitty, kitty, here, kitty, kitty, ah
Baby, baby, come on, let's go
Midnight, she's in my head
You are my Cinderella, the party ends soon
I'm going crazy
We only wanna rumba
Dance, shake it, shake it
You know you're my...
Sexy señorita, won't you come play, ah? Uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Until the night falls on us
I keep playing, I keep dancing
Come on, play, ah, uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Give me a kiss, give me a laugh
Sexy señorita, won't you come play, ah? Uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Until the night falls on us
I keep playing, I keep dancing
Come on, play, ah, uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Give me a kiss, give me a laugh
Girl, you need to go...
You look the other way, but I keep going for you
You try to cut me off, but I keep working, you see
Uoh, my señorita
My señorita
Sexy señorita, won't you come play, ah? Uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Until the night falls on us
I keep playing, I keep dancing
Come on, play, ah, uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Give me a kiss, give me a laugh
Sexy señorita, won't you come play, ah? Uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Until the night falls on us
I keep playing, I keep dancing
Come on, play, ah, uoh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Give me a kiss, give me a laugh
Girl, you need to go very fast, come on

Key Grammar Structures
-
Are you playing? Are you balling?
➔ Present Continuous (Progressive) Tense: Used to describe actions happening now or around now.
➔ The repeated use of "are you" + verb-ing emphasizes the ongoing nature of these activities at the present moment. It poses a direct question about what the subject is currently doing.
-
Girl, you know I'm not gon' be coming
➔ Future Tense with "gon'na" (going to) and Negative Contraction. The use of "gon'" is an informal contraction of "going to".
➔ "I'm not gon' be coming" is a colloquial way of saying "I am not going to be coming." The "gon'" indicates a planned action in the future but in a casual manner.
-
Ven hacia mí, sé mi mamacita
➔ Spanish Imperative and Possessive Adjective: "Ven" (come) is the imperative form of the verb "venir" (to come). "Mi" is the possessive adjective, meaning "my".
➔ "Ven hacia mí" is a direct command, urging someone to come closer. "Sé mi mamacita" asks the person to be 'his' mamacita. "Mi" shows possession.
-
Need a big girl, not a chiquitita
➔ Simple contrast using adjectives. "Big" and "chiquitita" (small) are adjectives used to describe the girl, contrasted by 'not'.
➔ The phrase expresses a preference for a certain type of girl using a simple contrast. "Need a big girl" is followed by the rejection of the opposite, "not a chiquitita."
-
Voy a enloquecer
➔ Spanish Future Tense using "ir a" + infinitive: This construction expresses a future action or intention. "Voy a" means "I am going to".
➔ "Voy a enloquecer" literally translates to "I am going to go crazy." It indicates a strong feeling about to occur in the near future.
-
Hasta que nos caiga la noche
➔ Spanish Subjunctive Mood and Time Clause: "Hasta que" (until) introduces a time clause that requires the subjunctive mood when referring to a future event. "Caiga" is the subjunctive form of "caer" (to fall).
➔ "Hasta que nos caiga la noche" means "Until night falls on us." The use of the subjunctive "caiga" is necessary because the falling of the night is a future event seen from the present.
