[English]

Hey, hey

The ground shakes when you move – If it’s up to me, I’ll give you from Friday to Thursday, eh

No one can replace her

If she’s not a 10, she’s a 9.9 – The girl’s on top, catches every drop

Tiny and dangerous like a Glock – She barely posts stories, let alone TikTok

I’m her fan, I’m all about her – All her moves, seeing that booty’s an event

Come, mess with my feelings

And I’ll buy you an apartment – Hop in the Ferrari with me, I’ve got an extra seat

You’re gonna be mine, I can feel it

Even if you’ve got two hundred behind you – I’ll throw you fifteen hundred

Tell me, bae

Sorry, papi – I’m not your mommy (No-oh)

I do what I want – And I’ve also got my own in my wallet

Sorry, papi – I’m not your mommy (No-oh)

I do what I want – And I’ve also got my own in my wallet

Nah, how could that be?

Tell me what I need to do – Dawn’s about to break

I’ll even give you my phone password – I wanna devour you like Cell

What’s your name?

We should meet – I promise it’ll be a pleasure

Those little eyes were painted on – No one like you will ever be born again

That booty’s exhibit-worthy art – If you want, I’ll pay for a subscription

"Goddess," that’s your definition – I want you with everything and my blessing

One of a kind, no twin – You deserve to walk the runway

She smokes, and her eyes turn like spinel – I wanna score a goal and hear the vuvuzelas

Some think she’s from Venezuela – But she’s from PR, that’s where the fire’s at

Mommy, you’re my saint, I light candles for you – Hoping you’ll want me

So-So-Sorry, papi – I’m not your mommy (No-oh)

I do what I want – And I’ve also got my own in my wallet

Sorry, papi – I’m not your mommy (No-oh)

I do what I want – And I’ve also got my own in my wallet

(I’m not your mommy) – (I do what I want)

(And I’ve also got my own in my wallet)

What the hell?

Key Grammar Structures

• The ground shakes when you move.

  ➔ Present tense with 'cuando' (when).

  ➔ The clause 'cuando te mueves' expresses a present habitual action. The present tense is used after 'cuando' when referring to real or habitual events.

• If it’s up to me, I’ll give you from Friday to Thursday.

  ➔ Conditional with 'si' + present tense.

  ➔ 'Si es por mí' uses the present tense after 'si'. In Spanish, the real condition uses 'si' + present, not future.

• If she isn’t a 10, she’s a 9.9.

  ➔ Implicit comparative and numerical precision.

  ➔ The use of decimals ('9.9') emphasizes near perfection. The sentence omits 'better than' but implies comparison.

• She’s small and dangerous like a Glock.

  ➔ Simile using 'como' (like/as).

  ➔ 'Como' introduces a comparison of similarity. It functions like 'as' or 'like' in English similes.

• I’m a fan of her, I watch everything she does.

  ➔ Present tense + reflexive pronoun for emphasis.

  ➔ Spanish often uses reflexive forms like 'me miro' to intensify personal involvement.

• I’ll buy you an apartment.

  ➔ Future tense with direct and indirect object pronouns omitted.

  ➔ Spanish allows omitting 'te' or 'le' when context clarifies the indirect object.

• You’re going to be mine, I feel it.

  ➔ Periphrastic future ('ir a' + infinitive).

  ➔ This structure expresses an intention or near-future event, similar to 'going to' in English.

• I’m sorry, daddy, I’m not your mommy.

  ➔ Negative identification with 'no ser'.

  ➔ 'No soy tu mami' negates a state of being, using 'ser' for identity—not condition or state ('estar').
