[English]

Top diesel, top of the face, top princess, oh

It happens that I said something I heard in Cap Cana

He says, he says a bro (don't you-)

Don't go falling in love

I told myself: why, why?

I told my heart: don't go falling in love

And he laughs: ay, ay

I don't know how to say no (no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no)

No-no-no (no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no)

No, no-no (no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no)

No-no-no (no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no)

I don't know how to say no (no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no)

No-no-no (no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no)

No, no-no (no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no)

Top diesel, top of the face, top princess

But that suffocating feeling you have, my brother, if you see that girl right now, why, oh my God?

I'm looking at the prettiest one, I'd gladly have a kid with her

If she dances like that, damn, I'm gonna be her playlist in bed

She's the prettiest, at night at her house

I want to go visit, to hang out at her mom's place

I do whatever comes up only if it comes my way

I imagine this has been happening since it left my mouth

I let you fall in love with me, I get all romantic

If my aunt sees me looking good, she'll say: damn, love makes you fat

I wouldn't know how to say no, I want it to be her fault

Let me get juiced from Borondo and give myself a little love in pulp

Even my girl said it

Don't go falling in love

I told myself: why, why?

I told my heart: don't go falling in love

And he laughs: ay, ay

I don't know how to say no

No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no

No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no

No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no

No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no

No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no

No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no

No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no

No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no

...

PASA QUE DIJE ALGO QUE ESCUCHÉ EN CAP CANA

DICE, DICE UN BRO (NO TE-)

NO TE VAYAS A ENAMORAR

YO ME DIJE: WHY, WHY?

SE LO DIJE AL CORAZÓN: NO TE VAYAS A ENAMORAR

Y ÉL SE RÍE: AY, AY

TOP DIESEL, TOP DE CARA, TOP PRINCESS

PERO, Y ESE ASFIXIE QUE TÚ TIENE', HERMANITO MÍO, SI VISTE ESA TIPA AHORA MISMO, WHY, PAPA DIOS?

'TOY VIENDO A LA MÁS LINDA, LE HARÍA UN HIJO CON GANAS

SI ASÍ COMO BAILA, CHINGA, VO' A SER SU PLAYLIST EN LA CAMA

ELLA E' LA MÁS LINDA, POR LA NOCHE A SU CASA

QUIERO IR DE VISITA, PARCHARME A SU MAMÁ

YO HAGO LO QUE TOQUE SOLO SI ME TOCA

ME IMAGINO QUE ESTO SUCEDA DESDE QUE SALIÓ DE MI BOCA

DEJO QUE ME ENAMORES, ME LE PONGO ROMANTICÓN

SI MI TÍA ME VE CACHETÓN, DIGA: CARAJO, EL AMOR ENGORDA

YO NO SABRÍA DECIR QUE NO, QUIERO QUE SEA SU CULPA

QUE ME AJUICIE DEL BORONDO Y ME DÉ AMORCITO EN PULPA

HASTA LO DIJO MI CUCHA

NO TE VAYAS A ENAMORAR

YO ME DIJE: WHY, WHY?

SE LO DIJE AL CORAZÓN: NO TE VAYAS A ENAMORAR

Y ÉL SE RÍE: AY, AY

YO NO SÉ DECIR QUE NO

NO-NO-NO, NO-NO-NO, NO-NO

NO-NO-NO, NO-NO-NO, NO-NO

NO-NO-NO, NO-NO-NO, NO-NO

Key Grammar Structures

• NO TE VAYAS A ENAMORAR

  ➔ Negative imperative using the subjunctive (no + reflexive pronoun + present subjunctive).

  ➔ The verb **"vayas"** is in the present subjunctive, used after the negative imperative "no te" to warn someone not to fall in love.

• YO ME DIJE: WHY, WHY?

  ➔ Past simple reflexive verb followed by direct speech (reported thought).

  ➔ The reflexive verb **"me dije"** (I told myself) is in the simple past, introducing the quoted English phrase as direct speech.

• YO HAGO LO QUE TOQUE SOLO SI ME TOCA

  ➔ Relative clause with "lo que" + future-like conditional "si" + present indicative.

  ➔ The phrase **"lo que toque"** is a relative clause meaning “what I do”, followed by the conditional **"solo si"** (only if) and the present indicative **"me toca"**.

• ME IMAGINO QUE ESTO SUCEDA DESDE QUE SALIÓ DE MI BOCA

  ➔ Verb of perception + subjunctive in a noun clause; "desde que" with past tense.

  ➔ The verb **"imagino"** (I imagine) triggers the subjunctive **"suceda"** because the speaker expresses a non‑realized possibility. "Desde que" introduces a past event "salío".

• SI MI TÍA ME VE CACHETÓN, DIGA: CARAJO, EL AMOR ENGORDA

  ➔ Conditional "si" with present indicative; imperative "diga" (subjunctive used as formal command).

  ➔ The clause **"si mi tía me ve"** uses the present indicative after "si" to talk about a real possible situation. **"Diga"** is the formal imperative formed from the subjunctive, used here as a quoted command.

• YO NO SÉ DECIR QUE NO

  ➔ Expression of ignorance + infinitive clause "decir que no".

  ➔ The phrase **"no sé"** (I don’t know) is followed by the infinitive **"decir"** and the complement **"que no"** (that no). It expresses inability to refuse.

• QUE ME AJUICIE DEL BORONDO Y ME DÉ AMORCITO EN PULPA

  ➔ Subjunctive after "que" expressing a wish or request; use of present subjunctive "ajuície" and "dé".

  ➔ The conjunction **"que"** introduces a clause with the present subjunctive **"ajuície"** (may crush) and **"dé"** (may give), both expressing a wish or request.

• SE LO DIJE AL CORAZÓN: NO TE VAYAS A ENAMORAR

  ➔ Indirect object pronoun "se" + direct object "lo"; use of past simple "dije"; followed by quotation with imperative subjunctive.

  ➔ The clitic **"se lo"** combines the indirect object (to him/her) and direct object (it). **"dije"** is the simple past of "decir". The quoted part uses the negative subjunctive imperative "no te vayas a enamorar".
