[English]

The way she walks

And her neck that smells like the beach, my dopamine

Her smile lifts my soul, it illuminates it

Not to mention how she moves when she's on top

She changes the weather for me

And if I look at her in front of the sea

That calms me down, it calms me down

But if I kiss her, the moon bursts into flames

We start on the sand and end up in my bed

See you tomorrow

My baby wapa, wapa, wapa, we

My baby wapa, wapa, wapa, wapa, wapa, we

You stay with me by law, my queen and I your king

My baby wapa, wapa, wapa, we, my baby wapa, wapa

I changed my vicious circle

For this love triangle

You and I on the beach, how beautiful

Making love, delicious

We are like sand and salt, we know how to love

We know how to take care of each other

In bed she is a superstar, we know how to connect

And we do it daily

And she says: "Wepa, wepa, wepa, wey"

Come on, mamacita, there's no more break

You are wapa, wapa, wapa, wey

With me everything is okay

And if I look at her in front of the sea

That calms me down, it calms me down

But if I kiss her, the moon bursts into flames

We start on the sand and end up in my bed

See you tomorrow

My baby wapa, wapa, wapa, we

My baby wapa, wapa, wapa, wapa, wapa, we

You stay with me by law, my queen and I your king

My baby wapa, wapa, wapa, we, my baby wapa, wapa

Wapa, my baby wapa, wapa, wapa

Oli, Lau, Hey Moon

Look, wapa, don't worry, everything is fine

...

[Spanish]

Cómo camina

Y su cuello que huele a playa, mi dopamina

Su sonrisa me eleva el alma, me la ilumina

Ni hablar de cómo se mueve cuando está encima

Me cambia el clima

Y si la miro frente al mar

Eso a mí me calma, a mí me calma

Pero si la beso, la luna se prende en llamas

Empezamos en la arena y terminamos en mi cama

Hasta mañana

Mi baby wapa, wapa, wapa, we

Mi baby wapa, wapa, wapa, wapa, wapa, we

Conmigo te quedas por ley, mi reina y yo tu rey

Mi baby wapa, wapa, wapa, we, mi baby wapa, wapa

Cambié mi círculo vicioso

Por este triángulo amoroso

Tú y yo en la playa, que hermoso

Haciendo el amor, delicioso

Somos como arena y sal, sabemos amar

Sabemos cuidarnos

En la cama es una superstar, sabemos conectar

Y lo hacemos a diario

Y dice: "Wepa, wepa, wepa, wey"

Vente, mamacita, que ya no hay más break

Tú eres wapa, wapa, wapa, wey

Conmigo está todo okay

Y si la miro frente al mar

Eso a mí me calma, a mí me calma

Pero si la beso la luna se prende en llamas

Empezamos en la arena y terminamos en mi cama

Hasta mañana

Mi baby wapa, wapa, wapa, we

Mi baby wapa, wapa, wapa, wapa, wapa, we

Conmigo te quedas por ley, mi reina y yo tu rey

Mi baby wapa, wapa, wapa, we, mi baby wapa, wapa

Wapa, my baby wapa, wapa, wapa

Oli, Lau, Hey Moon

Mira, wapa, no te preocupes, que todo está bien
