Why are you so alone?
I want a little of that, but you don't cooperate
And I told her, "Hello"
Why are you so alone?
I want a little of that, but you don't cooperate
Give me one of your kisses
Give me one of your kisses
Because I'm dying for it
Because I'm dying for it
Give me one of your kisses
Give me one of your kisses
Because I'm dying for it
Because I'm dying for it
I'm dying
If I don't have you by my side, I get desperate
I want you to be my model, I want to be a model
Give me a little kiss that tastes like candy
And let that little kiss you give me take me to heaven
If I don't have you by my side, I get desperate
I want you to be my model, even if you're not a model
Give me a little kiss that tastes like candy
And I told her, "Hello, why are you so alone?
I want a little of that, but you don't cooperate"
I want a little of that, but you don't cooperate
And I told her, "Hello"
Why are you so alone?
I want a little of that, but you don't cooperate
Give me one of your kisses
Give me one of your kisses
Because I'm dying for it
Because I'm dying for it
Give me one of your kisses
Give me one of your kisses
Because I'm dying for it
Because I'm dying for it
Little kisses on the mouth to make you go wild
After a couple of drinks, we take off our clothes
There's no one like me, and there are few like you left
Your captain has arrived, so move that booty
Tell me if you want a wedding or if you want me for a while
Bottles of champagne, we live life like bosses
But without my life, there's no deal, your face is my portrait
And I told her, "Hello, why are you so alone?
And I told her, "Hello, why are you so alone?
I want a little of that, but you don't cooperate"
And I told her, "Hello"
Why are you so alone?
I want a little of that, but you don't cooperate
And I told her, "Hello"
Why are you so alone?
I want a little of that, but you don't cooperate
Yeah
El Daddy
And it goes like this, and it goes like this
For the world from the 3000
Tell 'em Makiki
This is for the baby to get excited
Along with El Único in a new chapter

Yo quiero un poco de eso pero tú no colaboras
➔ Subjunctive mood (implied) + Conditional tense
➔ The phrase 'un poco de eso' refers to something previously mentioned or understood. 'Colaboras' implies a desired action that isn't happening, hinting at a subjunctive mood. The 'quiero' expresses a desire, creating a conditional context. The sentence structure is a common way to express wanting something from someone who isn't providing it.
-
Que yo muero por eso
➔ Subjunctive clause + Idiomatic expression
➔ The 'que' introduces a subordinate clause expressing the reason for the speaker's strong desire. 'Muero por eso' is an idiomatic expression meaning 'I die for that' or 'I long for that', emphasizing intense longing. The subjunctive mood is triggered by the emotional intensity.
-
Si no te tengo en mi vera yo me desespero
➔ Conditional sentence (Type 1) + Reflexive verb
➔ This is a type 1 conditional sentence: 'If not you are with me, then I despair'. 'Vera' is an archaic term for 'side'. 'Me desespero' is a reflexive verb meaning 'I become desperate'. The sentence expresses a direct consequence of not having the person.
-
Quiero que tú me modelo, quiero ser modelo
➔ Subjunctive clause + Repetition for emphasis
➔ The 'que' introduces a subordinate clause expressing a desire. 'Modelo' can mean 'shape' or 'pose'. The speaker wants the other person to 'shape' them, and then repeats the desire to *be* a model. The subjunctive mood is used because it expresses a wish or desire.
