[English]

The baby knows it's time to turn it on

Baby, get on all fours, I'm going to give it to you

That bikini is tight, it looks amazing

That cowgirl is in reverse and I don't complain

So take it, take it, take it, take it, take it

I'll leave it here for you

And take it, take it, take it, take it, take it

I won't back down

And take it, take it, take it, take it, take it (take it, take it)

I'll leave it here for you

And take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it

...

Dennis, the tough one!

Ball here, breeze here, tonight is for pleasure

Do whatever you want, you can even go up and down

No paper, do it like this, come here, come here, come to me

Because today I'm easy, I'm easy, I'm easy

So take it, take it, take it, take it, take it

I'll leave it here for you

And take it, take it, take it, take it, take it

I won't back down

And take it, take it, take it, take it, take it (take it, take it)

I'll leave it here for you

And take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it

Take off your shirt, take off your shirt

Take it off, take off your shirt

Lift it high and start to spin

No need for a signal to connect

We're addicted and we know it, hey

She got behind, so let's get started

Touching each other is the language we both understand

Relax, no one has been born who can make me feel this way

Oh oh

No one does what this baby does at the party

Hey, baby, what’s there to do? After this, let’s go to the hotel

The boy got sweet and brought flowers to light it up

He got hooked, I noticed, the favela is his thing

And since I like the streets, I’m going to go for it

So take it, take it, take it, take it

Take it, take it, take it, take it

Take it, take it, take it, take it

Take it, take it, take it

Are you wet?

Come and put out this fire for me

Be aggressive with me because this party is lit

This is hot, not even winter can put it out

What are you waiting for, baby, to eat me up? And this

Your little bikini mark is the biggest pressure

That cowgirl is in reverse and I don't complain

And take it, take it, take it, take it, take it

I'll leave it here for you

And take it, take it, take it, take it, take it

I won't back down

And take it, take it, take it, take it, take it (take it, take it)

Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it

Dennis, the tough one! (The tough one)

Let's dance

Let's, let's dance

Let's, let's dance

In this beat, I want to see you sweat

...

[Spanish]

La bebé sabe que es hora de prender

Mamacita, ponte en cuatro, te lo vo'a poner

'Ta cabrón ese bikini, le queda apreta'o

Esa vaquera 'ta en reversa y yo no me quejo

Então toma, toma, toma, toma, toma

Ahí te lo dejo

Y toma, toma, toma, toma, toma

Yo no me dejo

Y toma, toma, toma, toma, toma (toma, toma)

Ahí te lo dejo

Y toma, toma, toma, toma, toma, toma, toma, toma

Dennis, o brabo!

Bola aê, brisa aê que hoje a noite é de prazer

Faz o que quiser fazer, pode até subir e descer

No pape', faz assim, vem ni', vem ni', vem ni' mim

Que-que hoje eu tô facin', tô fa, tô fa, tô facin'

Então toma, toma, toma, toma, toma

Ahí te lo dejo

Y toma, toma, toma, toma, toma

Yo no me dejo

Y toma, toma, toma, toma, toma (toma, toma)

Ahí te lo dejo

Y toma, toma, toma, toma, toma, toma, toma

Tira a camisa, ti-tira a camisa

Tira-tira a camisa

Levante pro alto e comece a rodar

No hace falta señal para que conectemos

'Tamo enviciados y eso lo sabemos, ey

Se puso atrás, así que comencemos

Tocarnos rico es el lenguaje que ambos entendemos

Relájate, que no ha nacido el que haga enchularme

Oh oh

Ninguna te hace lo que en el party esta baby te hace

Ey, bebé, ¿qué hay pa' hacer? Después de esto pa'l hotel

El nene se puso tierno y trajo flores pa' prender

Se juqueó, lo noté, la favela es lo de él

Y a mí que me gusta calle como que le vo'a meter

Então toma, toma, toma, toma

Toma, toma, toma, toma

Toma, toma, toma, toma

Toma, toma, toma

¿'Tas mojada?

Ven y apágame este incendio

Pónteme agresiva porque este party se prendió

Esto está caliente, no lo apaga ni el invierno

¿Qué espera', baby, pa' comerno'? Y esto

Sua marquinha de biquíni tá a maior pressão

Esa vaquera 'ta en reversa y yo no me quejo

Y toma, toma, toma, toma, toma

Ahí te lo dejo

Y toma, toma, toma, toma, toma

Yo no me dejo

Y toma, toma, toma, toma, toma (toma, toma)

Toma, toma, toma, toma, toma, toma, toma

Dennis, o brabo! (O brabo)

Vamos dançar

Va-va-vamos dançar

Va-va-vamos dançar

Nesse batidão quero ver-te suar

Key Grammar Structures

• Mamacita, ponte en cuatro, te lo vo'a poner

  ➔ Informal future tense using 'ir a' + infinitive (vo'a poner)

  ➔ This line uses a colloquial shortening of 'voy a poner' (I am going to put it). The 'ir a' + infinitive construction is a common way to express the near future in Spanish.

• Esa vaquera 'ta en reversa y yo no me quejo

  ➔ Use of 'estar' ('ta) to describe a state or condition.

  ➔ Here, ''ta' is a shortened form of 'está', the third-person singular present tense of the verb 'estar'. It describes the state of the 'vaquera' (cowgirl).

• No hace falta señal para que conectemos

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after impersonal expressions ('hace falta que')

  ➔ The phrase 'no hace falta que' (it's not necessary that) requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause. Therefore, 'conectemos' is in the subjunctive.

• 'Tamo enviciados y eso lo sabemos, ey

  ➔ Use of 'estar' ('tamo) to describe a temporary state or condition.

  ➔ 'Tamo' is a shortened, colloquial form of 'estamos', the first-person plural present tense of 'estar'. It indicates that 'we' are in a state of being addicted.

• Se puso atrás, así que comencemos

  ➔ Use of 'ponerse' + adjective to describe a change in state.

  ➔ 'Se puso atrás' means 'she got behind' or 'she positioned herself behind'. 'Ponerse' indicates a change in state or position.

• ¿Qué espera', baby, pa' comerno'?

  ➔ Informal contraction of 'para' to 'pa'' and 'comer nos' to 'comerno''

  ➔ This line uses informal contractions common in spoken Spanish. 'Pa'' is a shortened form of 'para' (for), and 'comerno'' is a contraction of 'comer nos' (to eat us), indicating a desire to engage in a passionate encounter.
