Arcangel

Hey yo! Arcangel, man

Randy

A real gargoyle, definitely

I’ve had one of the best

musical trajectories

of this genre, gargoyle, yeah!

I love going out at night

I’m not afraid of the darkness

Buddy, I’m a creature of the night

Even though I’m surrounded by so much evil

I am a gargoyle

At night we go out to have fun

Club women dancing

I am a gargoyle

Women get tipsy

Fashionable reggaeton turned into perreo

I am a gargoyle

At night we go out to have fun

Club women dancing

I am a gargoyle

Women get tipsy

Fashionable reggaeton turned into perreo

The night is good

And the girl is even better

They line up

At the club alone, single and looking for a date

They die for reggaeton

And the party lit up like fire

She looks to get wild

Without thinking, she lets herself go

She calls out loudly, demanding attention to see who pleases her

She likes diamonds

Gangster flow

Curious if anything interesting sounds

I am a gargoyle

At night we go out to have fun

Club women dancing

I am a gargoyle

Women get tipsy

Fashionable reggaeton turned into perreo

I am a gargoyle

At night we go out to have fun

Club women dancing

I am a gargoyle

Women get tipsy

Fashionable reggaeton turned into perreo

Loose

And what I see I can’t believe

She moves her waist perfectly

I get turned on

She realizes it

And my machine follows her

I chase her around

Taking her for a ride

Another little gargoyle cat

Who doesn’t know that before sunrise I have to devour her

Because I’m a gargoyle

I stay in the dark, safe because I’m on the fourth level

I love going out at night

I’m not afraid of the darkness

Buddy, I’m a creature of the night

Even though I’m surrounded by so much evil

I am a gargoyle

At night we go out to have fun

Club women dancing

I am a gargoyle

Women get tipsy

Fashionable reggaeton turned into perreo

I am a gargoyle

At night we go out to have fun

Club women dancing

I am a gargoyle

Women get tipsy

Fashionable reggaeton turned into perreo

Arcangel

Hey yo, it’s not about composing, Arcangel, man

It’s about knowing, and yes, there are many producers, arrangers, composers, but

This genre depends on Dexter and Mr. Green Life Music, Arcangel, man, straight from the lab

Ahja! the shut

...

• Yo no le temo a la oscuridad

  ➔ Verb 'temer' takes preposition 'a' before the object feared.

  ➔ 'Le temo a...' means 'I fear ...', showing indirect object pronoun with preposition.

• Aunque me rodee tanta maldad

  ➔ Subjunctive mood in dependent clause after 'aunque' to express uncertainty or condition.

  ➔ The verb 'rodee' is subjunctive, showing the speaker accepts a possible but uncertain surrounding of evil.
