[English]

You give me sweet love, babe

Or you give me heartbreak

I’ve always been a player

But with you, it’s the first time I make love

You enchant me more and more, for real

Being the one to wake you up with kisses is an honor

Imagine you and me,

You and I, the two of us,

Dancing real close,

With a rolled cigarette,

Your back against my stomach,

You bite your lip and ask me, do you like it?

Of course, babe,

If I take another shot,

And I was single, too—

But Cupid didn’t miss his last shot,

Praying to God,

That this moment of us dancing never ends.

I’m imagining a future,

Starting tonight, on my bed,

Praying to God,

That this moment of us dancing never ends,

I’m imagining a future,

But let’s cool down this fire first,

With a rolled cigarette,

I want to see you in slow motion,

And I’m gonna kidnap you from that corner,

I know you like BEMBE, girl,

Turn around, lean on me,

I know you like BEMBE, girl,

Turn around, lean on me,

Your G-spot’s coming out,

If you look at me like that, it drives me crazy,

All my urges come out,

If you look at me like that, it drives me crazy,

Kissing like this, that’s all good,

Imagine us, you and me,

Dancing real close,

With a rolled cigarette,

Yeah, Beéle, Quevedo, Ovy On the Drums,

Key Grammar Structures

• Yo siempre había singao'

  ➔ Pluperfect (Past Perfect) Subjunctive

  ➔ While the subjunctive isn't explicitly present, this line implies a hypothetical situation in the past. "Había singao'" uses the pluperfect indicative but could be used in the subjunctive if the context required it (e.g., "Si yo hubiera singao' ..." - If I *had* sung... ). The use of the pluperfect establishes an action completed before another point in the past.

• Tu me encantas ma' mucho con demasiao'

  ➔ Use of "demasiao'" (demasiado) - Adverbial intensifier.

  ➔ "Demasiao'" is a colloquial shortening of "demasiado", meaning "too much". It's used here to intensify the already strong feeling expressed by "me encantas", which means "I love you" (literally "you enchant me").

• Ser el que te despierte a besos es un honor

  ➔ Infinitive as Subject, Subjunctive Mood (implied)

  ➔ "Ser" (to be) functions as the subject of the sentence. The phrase implies a desirability or hypothetical element, subtly suggesting a subjunctive context (though not explicitly used). The sentence structure highlights the honor of the action.

• Si me doy otro shot quizás se me escapa un "i love you"

  ➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 1 with "quizás")

  ➔ This is a type 1 conditional sentence (possible/likely condition). "Quizás" (maybe) softens the certainty of the consequence. The structure is: Si + present tense, future tense (or modal verb like "se me escapa").

• Y eso que soltero estaba melo

  ➔ Imperfect Tense with "estar" to describe a state

  ➔ "Estaba" is the imperfect tense of the verb "estar" (to be), used to describe a continuing state or condition in the past. It describes the speaker's state of being "melo" (cool, enjoying himself) while single.
