Lyrics & Translation

Learning Spanish through "Yo Perreo Sola" offers a unique window into contemporary Latin culture and social commentary. The song's repetitive and catchy chorus makes it easy to pick up key phrases related to independence and setting boundaries. What makes this song special is how it subverts traditional reggaeton themes, turning a party anthem into a powerful statement of respect and female autonomy, making it a culturally significant and fun way to engage with the Spanish language.

[English]

Before, you used to ignore me (You ignored me) - Now I ignore you (Hmm, nah)

Before, you didn't want (You didn't want) - Now I don't want (Hmm, no)

Before, you used to ignore me (-gore me) - Now I ignore you (Haha)

Before, you didn't want (Hey) - Now I don't want

No, it's cool

I dance alone (Hmm, hey) - I dance alone (Dance alone; haha; hmm-hmm)

I dance alone (Haha, hmm; hey) - I dance alone (Dance alone)

Okay, okay, hey, hey, hey

Let no fool get close (No) - The club lights up when she arrives (Wuh!)

She has men as a hobby - A spoiled girl like Nairobi (Haha)

And you see her drinking from the bottle (Hey) - The boys and girls want to be with her

She's over twenty, she showed me her ID (Aha)

Hey, she's skeptical about love (Wuh!) - She's single before it became trendy (Hey)

She doesn't believe in love since "Amorfoda" (No)

The DJ plays her songs and she knows them all - She climbs on the table and let it be (Wuh)

In the dance, she doesn't stop (No!) - Smokes and gets wild

She'll call you if she needs you - But for now, she's alone

She dances alone (Wuh) - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

She dances alone - (Dances alone, she dances alone, alone, alone)

Hey, she dances alone - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

She dances alone (She dances alone) - She dances alone

She has a problematic friend - And another who hardly speaks (No)

But all three are devils (Prr) - And today she wore a mini skirt

She keeps the Phillies in the Louis Vuitton

And she says to me "daddy" (Daddy, keep going; yes, yes) - She's as hot as Natti (Aah)

Drunk and crazy, she doesn't care (Woo) - Let's dance, life is short, hey (Hoo)

And she says to me "daddy" (Daddy, keep going; yes, yes) - She's as hot as Natti (Aah)

After twelve, she doesn't behave (Hey) - Let's dance, life is short (Woo)

Before, you used to ignore me (You ignored me) - Now I ignore you (Hmm, nah; crazy)

Before, you didn't want (But when did I say that?)

Now I don't want (But, but; no) - Before, you used to ignore me (Nah)

Now I ignore you (I've never ignored you, babe) - Before, you didn't want (Oh, God), now I don't want

No, it's cool

I dance alone (Hmm, hey) - I dance alone (Dance alone; haha; hmm-hmm)

I dance alone (Haha, hmm; hey) - I dance alone (Dance alone)
