[English]

Miami confirmed it for me

Gente de Zona

Puerto Rico gifted it to me

Marc Anthony

The Dominican Republic has already chimed in

Yelelei yelelei ohh

And from the Caribbean are you and I (Turn it up)

And the party has started, Miami confirmed it for me (What did it confirm for me?)

And the rice with beans, Puerto Rico gifted it to me

And the merengue drum, the Dominican Republic has already chimed in

With Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela

And from the Caribbean are you and I

Chiming in

The vibe is really strong, the vibe is divine

Peru with Honduras, Chile with Argentina

Panama brings the rhythm, Ecuador brings the "bilirubin" (fever/energy)

And Uruguay with Paraguay, brother with Costa Rica

Bolivia is arriving, Brazil is already on its way

The world is joining in, to the Latino party (Turn it up)

And the party has started, Miami confirmed it for me

And the rice with beans, Puerto Rico gifted it to me

And the merengue drum, the Dominican Republic has already chimed in

With Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela

And from the Caribbean are you and I

And the party has started, Miami confirmed it for me

Oh, the rice with beans, Puerto Rico gifted it to me

And the merengue drum, the Dominican Republic has already chimed in

With Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela

And from the Caribbean are you and I

(Marc Anthony)

Come on Guatemala, the party awaits you

Call Nicaragua, El Salvador is sneaking in

I’m singing from Cuba and the world finds out

If you are Latino, take out your flag

Turn it up

And the party has started, Miami confirmed it for me

And the rice with beans, Puerto Rico gifted it to me (What's up, man?)

And the merengue drum, the Dominican Republic has already chimed in

With Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela

And from the Caribbean are you and I

And the party has started, Miami confirmed it for me

Oh, the rice with beans, Puerto Rico gifted it to me (Boricua)

And the merengue drum, the Dominican Republic has already chimed in

With Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela

And from the Caribbean are you and I

For the guys and the girls, let's go

What’s up, man?

Now for real, nobody is taking us down from here

Play it there, cuchi cui

With pleasure and look how I’m enjoying it (Botin)

I told you so

Gente de Zona

You know

The best thing playing today

...

[Spanish]

Miami me lo confirmó

Gente de Zona

Puerto Rico me lo regaló

Marc Anthony

Dominicana ya repicó

Yelelei yelelei ohh

Y del Caribe somos tú y yo (Ponle)

Y se formó la gozadera, Miami me lo confirmó (¿Qué me confirmó?)

Y el arroz con habichuela, Puerto Rico me lo regaló

Y la tambora merenguera, Dominicana ya repicó

Con México, Colombia y Venezuela

Y del Caribe somos tú y yo

Repicando

La cosa está bien dura, la cosa está divina

Perú con Honduras, Chile con Argentina

Panamá trae la zandunga, Ecuador bilirrubina

Y Uruguay con Paraguay, hermano con Costa Rica

Bolivia viene llegando, Brasil ya está en camino

El mundo se está sumando, a la fiesta de los latinos (Ponle)

Y se formó la gozadera, Miami me lo confirmó

Y el arroz con habichuela, Puerto Rico me lo regaló

Y la tambora merenguera, Dominicana ya repicó

Con México, Colombia y Venezuela

Y del Caribe somos tú y yo

Y se formó la gozadera, Miami me lo confirmó

Ay el arroz con habichuela, Puerto Rico me lo regaló

Y la tambora merenguera, Dominicana ya repicó

Con México, Colombia y Venezuela

Y del Caribe somos tú y yo

(Marc Anthony)

Vamos Guatemala, la fiesta te espera

Llama a Nicaragua, El Salvador se cuela

Yo canto desde Cuba y el mundo se entera

Si tú eres Latino, saca tu bandera

Ponle

Y se formó la gozadera, Miami me lo confirmó

Y el arroz con habichuela, Puerto Rico me lo regaló (¿Qué es la que hay, papá?)

Y la tambora merenguera, Dominicana ya repicó

Con México, Colombia y Venezuela

Y del Caribe somos tú y yo

Y se formó la gozadera, Miami me lo confirmó

Ay el arroz con habichuela, Puerto Rico me lo regaló (Boricua)

Y la tambora merenguera, Dominicana ya repicó

Con México, Colombia y Venezuela

Y del Caribe somos tú y yo

Pa' los parceros y las parceras, vamos

¿Qué la que hay papá?

Ahora sí, nadie nos baja de aquí

Gustoso y mira cómo gozo (Botin)

Yo te lo dije

Gente de Zona
