[English]

Ya-ya, ya-ya

Ya-ya

The streets are dead, but she's gonna light them up

Because if she goes out, all her friends go out too

They're killing it at the club, they're out of this world

One is quiet, the other is totally wild, ey

Popping pills and kissing on the mouth

If she goes out, all her friends go out too

They're killing it at the club, they're out of this world

One is quiet, the other is totally wild, ey

Popping pills and kissing on the mouth

And if she goes out, all her friends go out too

She doesn't care about the haters' comments

She doesn't like psychos or being cornered

Uy, so suffocating

Better not provoke her

Because anyone who touches her gets silenced

She's out of control, just because she can

Baby, that bumper can handle the impact

I like them natural, but what she had done doesn't look bad

I got permission to go for it, I hit it in the 37

You can hear it all the way on the first floor

(And how are things going with you again?)

Alright, I'll let you know

The girl's got power

She's chill, but she won't let anyone mess with her

She stays low-key

The streets are dead, but she's gonna light them up

Because if she goes out, all her friends go out too

They're killing it at the club, they're out of this world

One is quiet, the other is totally wild, ey

Popping pills and kissing on the mouth

If she goes out, all her friends go out too

They're killing it at the club, they're out of this world

One is quiet, the other is totally wild

Popping pills and kissing on the mouth

Ya-ya, ya-ya

Ya-ya

La calle está apaga', pero ella la va a prender

Porque si ella sale, todas las amigas salen

En la disco muy duras, no son normales

Una es calla', la otra está bien loca, ey

Pastilla y se besan en la boca

Si ella sale, todas las amigas salen

En la disco muy duras, no son normales

Una es calla', la otra está bien loca, ey

Pastilla y se besan en la boca

Y si ella sale, todas las amigas salen

Comentarios de envidiosa' no le valen

No le gustan psycho ni que la acorralen

Uy, qué sofoque

Mejor no la provoque

Que se calla el que la toque

A ley de na' pa' que se aloque

Baby, ese bumper aguanta el choque

Me gustan naturale', pero no se ve mal lo que se hizo

Pa' darle tengo permiso, le metí en el 37

Se escucha hasta en el primer piso

(¿Y a ti cómo te va de nuevo?)

Dale, yo te aviso

La nena tiene poder

Tranquilita, pero de nadie se deja joder

No se deja ver

La calle está apaga', pero ella la va a prender

Porque si ella sale, todas las amigas salen

En la disco muy duras, no son normales

Una es calla', la otra está bien loca, ey

Pastilla y se besan en la boca

Si ella sale, todas las amigas salen

En la disco muy duras, no son normales

Una es calla', la otra está bien loca

Pastilla' y se besan en la boca
