[English]

I'm going out to search

My fried mojarra, shrimp

Chipi, chipi and my pot of rice

I'm winning

Oh!

My fried mojarra, shrimp

Chipi, chipi and my pot of rice

I'm winning

...

(And in the revolution of hugs, national heroes)

(They connect Kepler and Sebastián)

I don't want to earn millions (What, what!)

I don't want to stay in New York (What, what!)

Let me explain what I want, gentlemen

Many colors, laughter in children

On the beach I continued, the Systema remix

Let the crisis end

More peace baby, the earth is VIP

Go with the Systema enjoying on the beach

I'm going out to search

My fried mojarra, shrimp

Chipi, chipi and my pot of rice

I'm winning

Oh!

Fried mojarra, shrimp

Chipi, chipi and my pot of rice

I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning, I'm winning

And this lit up with the flovinova

It has no borders, sweeps like a broom

Swimming in the breeze like Cojinoa

Electric beat, the Systema in the zone

I'm going out to search

My fried mojarra, shrimp

Chipi, chipi and my pot of rice

I'm winning

Oh!

Fried mojarra, shrimp

Chipi, chipi and my pot of rice

I'm winning

...

In the sea, life is tastier

I go out in my canoe along the coast

I'm going fishing over there

With my canoe all along the coast

I'm going out to search

My fried mojarra, shrimp

Chipi, chipi and my pot of rice

I'm winning

Oh!

Fried mojarra, shrimp

Chipi, chipi and my pot of rice

I'm winning

...

Doesn't want to pay attention to strangers

Pay attention, the year is ending

Clean up by the end of the year

I work hard but I save

More to erase the deceptions

Not a lightning bolt with a failure finds me

Only the beach brings you, you know it

(Flavor and good for you)

Gaita, buddy, brings you to the beach and brings you

(Flavor and good for you)

Gaita, buddy, brings you to the beach and brings you

(Flavor and good for you)

Good gaita, buddy, brings you to the beach

(Flavor and good for you)

(Flavor and good for you)

(Flavor and good for you)

Gaita, buddy, brings you to the beach and brings you

(Flavor and good for you)

Leave it there, leave it there, leave it there, hey! leave it there, don't take it away, leave it there

(I'm winning, I'm winning)

(I'm winning, I'm winning)

(I'm winning, I'm winning) Look, it's slipping away, come on, come on, come on

(I'm winning, I'm winning)

I'm going

I'm going out to search

My fried mojarra, shrimp

Chipi, chipi and my pot of rice

I'm winning

Oh!

Fried mojarra, shrimp

Chipi, chipi and my pot of rice

I'm winning

Mmh, I dance

Mmh, I dance

Mmh, I dance

In me, I dance

Mmh, I dance

I dance

Dancing

...
