[English]

You tell me and I escape

You tell me and I-

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You tell me and I escape

You tell me and I- (Ra-Rauw, ey)

Ours started out sporadic

You got comfortable until you were asking for it without protection, uff

You bring out my problematic side, hey

Baby, you're gonna mess with me fast

If you wanna see me, don't make excuses

The problem isn't feeling, it's who says it first

You're bipolar, I'm kinda rude

Let's tear the house down

It'll end up on the floor until we reach good

Terms, terms

The splash came and it ended up on top

It ended, it ended

On all fours, I turned on the flash and she leaned in more

Good terms, good terms

You came, tell me when you didn't

Tell me when you didn't, when you didn't

We fight and we make up, and it ends on good terms

Shorty, take off your heels and bend over there

Go on, Don, go on

Go on, Don Julio, so the girl can slip

She's only wearing tanning lotion under her outfit

She's sweet like matcha with agave

But sometimes her nasty side comes out

When she explodes with pleasure and asks for more

She left to never return, but she's a boomerang

A "gatúbela" (catwoman), she's marked by wickedness

You find her on Cerra street, like nothing ever happened

And I like that

But I'm the son of a gun, shorty, that you like, yeah

I've already done it, I saw her soaking wet

It's Rauw Alejandro

And if you wanna see me, don't make excuses

The problem isn't feeling, it's who says it first

You're bipolar, I'm kinda rude

Let's tear the house down

It'll end up on the floor until we reach good

Terms, terms

The splash came and it ended up on top

It ended, it ended

On all fours, I turned on the flash and she leaned in more

Good terms, good terms

You came, tell me when you didn't

Tell me when you didn't, when you didn't

We fight and we make up, and it ends on good terms

Ra-Rauw Alejandro

Ra-Rauw, ey (you tell me and I escape)

Tell me, Ninow, yeah, ah

You tell me and I-

[Spanish]

Me dice' y me escapo

Me dice' y me-

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Me dice' y me escapo

Me dice' y me- (Ra-Rauw, еу)

Lo nuestro empezó algo esporádico

Fuiste cogiendo confi' hasta que lo pedías sin plástico, uff

Me sacas lo problemático, hey

Baby, me va' a juquear rápido

Si quieres verme, no pongas pero'

El problema no es sentir, es quién lo dice primero

Tú eres bipolar, yo soy medio grosero

Vamo a destrozar la casa

Acabará en el suelo hasta llegar a buenos

Términos, términos

Se vino el splash y aquí encima terminó

Terminó, terminó

En cuatro le prendí el flash y más se inclinó

Buenos términos, buenos términos

Te viniste, dime cuándo no

Dime cuándo no, cuándo no

Peleamo y nos comemo, y queda en buenos términos

Mami, quítate los tacos y dóblate ahí

Dale, Don, dale

Dale, don Julio, pa que la nena resbale

Solo tiene puesto el tanning debajo 'el traje

Ella es dulce como el matcha con agave

Pero a veces lo de bicha se le sale

Cuando le explota la nota y te pide más

Se fue pa no volver, pero ella e' un boomerang

Una gatúbela, está marcá por la maldad

Te la encuentras por la Cerra, ahí como si nada hubiera pasao

Y eso me gusta a mí

Pero soy el hijueputa, mami, que te gusta a ti, yeah

Ya yo le he dao, encharcá yo la vi

Es Rauw Alejandro

Y si quieres verme, no pongas pero'

El problema no es sentir, es quién lo dice primero

Tú eres bipolar, yo soy medio grosero

Vamo a destrozar la casa

Acabará en el suelo hasta llegar a buenos

Términos, términos

Se vino el splash y aquí encima terminó

Terminó, terminó

En cuatro le prendí el flash y más se inclinó

Buenos términos, buenos términos

Te viniste, dime cuándo no

Dime cuándo no, cuándo no

Peleamo y nos comemo, y queda en buenos términos

Ra-Rauw Alejandro

Ra-Rauw, ey (me dice' y me escapo)

Dímelo, Ninow, yeah, ah

Me dice' y me-

Key Grammar Structures

• Lo nuestro empezó algo esporádico

  ➔ Preterite tense

  ➔ Describes a completed action in the past: "empezó" (started).

• Fuiste cogiendo confi' hasta que lo pedías sin plástico

  ➔ Imperfect progressive (gerund used with 'estar' implied)

  ➔ Indicates a continuous action: "cogiendo confi'" (getting comfortable). The imperfect tense context implies it was ongoing until the request. "pedías" is imperfect for repeated/habitual action.

• Me sacas lo problemático, hey

  ➔ Verb with pronoun object and adverbial particle

  ➔ "Me sacas" - 'sacar' (to bring out) with the direct object pronoun 'me' (me) and the adverbial particle 'sacas' indicating an action directed at the speaker. It means 'you bring out the problematic side in me'.

• Baby, me va' a juquear rápido

  ➔ Informal contraction and future tense

  ➔ "me va' a juquear" is a colloquial contraction of "me vas a juquear" (you are going to hook me/make me hooked) in the future tense.

• El problema no es sentir, es quién lo dice primero

  ➔ Infinitive as noun and comparative structure

  ➔ The infinitive "sentir" (to feel) acts as a noun. The structure "no es X, es Y" (it's not X, it's Y) creates a contrast, highlighting the latter part as the actual issue.

• Tú eres bipolar, yo soy medio grosero

  ➔ Present tense with descriptive adjectives

  ➔ Simple present tense "eres" (you are) and "soy" (I am) used to describe characteristics or states of being.

• Vamo a destrozar la casa

  ➔ Colloquial contraction for 'vamos a'

  ➔ "Vamo a" is a common, informal pronunciation/contraction of "vamos a" (let's go to/we are going to), indicating an immediate future action.

• Acabará en el suelo hasta llegar a buenos términos

  ➔ Future tense and prepositional phrase

  ➔ "Acabará" (it will end) is future tense. "hasta llegar a" (until reaching) uses the infinitive after 'hasta' to express a duration or condition leading to an outcome.

• Se vino el splash y aquí encima terminó

  ➔ Idiomatic expression with preterite and past tense

  ➔ "Se vino el splash" is an idiomatic way to say something happened or arrived suddenly/forcefully. "terminó" (it ended) is preterite, indicating a completed action. The word order is inverted for emphasis.

• En cuatro le prendí el flash y más se inclinó

  ➔ Preterite with indirect object pronoun and reflexive verb

  ➔ "le prendí" uses the indirect object pronoun "le" (to her/him). "se inclinó" (she leaned) is a reflexive verb, indicating the action was done to herself. Both are preterite tense for completed actions.

• Te viniste, dime cuándo no

  ➔ Preterite reflexive verb and imperative

  ➔ "Te viniste" is a reflexive verb in the preterite (you came/you came). "dime" (tell me) is in the imperative mood, used for direct commands.
