[English]

Mom!

Help, help!

Help!

La-la

No, he has a fever (hi)

We need to take him to a hospital (I got lost, ah)

Wiuh, wiuh, wiuh

Help! (help, please)

Hey, Evar, I’m scared, man

My friends are dead, I killed them by accident

I didn’t know she was your girlfriend, I soaked her by accident

Bitch, let’s go to a hotel, I’m not short on cash

Bitch, I’m chasin’ the cake, I’m lookin’ for the money

My friends are dead, I killed them by accident

I didn’t know she was your girlfriend, I soaked her by accident

Bitch, let’s go to a hotel, I’m not short on cash

Bitch, I’m chasin’ the cake, I’m lookin’ for the money

Bitch, I’m not Mephisto, but I’ve got a Magnum

And my family’s worried ’cause I might take a Valium

I don’t talk about my life, that shit’s too sad

And now that I’ve got money, my jokes are funnier

I took six Ritalin, what did you do, chump?

Ah-na-na-na-na, lin, they act more than Darín

I almost killed myself, no suicide doors

She takes ketamine, thinks she’s a horse

Some people eat up the action movie

I eat her ass all over her room

I’ve got the gas, like Auschwitz

I make an engineer out of her, like Maschwitz

Your bitch sittin’ on my sausage

I hit it from behind, she screams "ouch" (ouch)

We ride if a big bus comes by (wah)

Killin’ rappers, Ted Bundy

That guy’s dumber than a zombie (eh)

Smokin’ more shit than Smoky, mmm

I met her at a karaoke, mmm

She says I’m pretty crazy, mmm

Smokin’ a joint on the bus

I hid the shrooms in the-

Ah, no, no, no, I can’t say it

They say: "otss (ey)

Hey, Dillom, you’re so cute"

Drinkin’ syrup like shots

Bro, this shit’s hot

My friends are dead, I killed them by accident

I didn’t know she was your girlfriend, I soaked her by accident

Bitch, let’s go to a hotel, I’m not short on cash

Bitch, I’m chasin’ the cake, I’m lookin’ for the money

My friends are dead, I killed them by accident

I didn’t know she was your girlfriend, I soaked her by accident (ey)

Bitch, let’s go to a hotel, I’m not short on cash

Bitch, I’m chasin’ the cake, I’m lookin’ for the money

Ah-na-na-na-na, lin, actúan más que Darín

Key Grammar Structures

• No sabía que era tu novia, sin querer la empapé

  ➔ Imperfect Subjunctive + Past Absolute

  ➔ The phrase uses the imperfect subjunctive ("sabía") to express uncertainty or a hypothetical situation in the past – the speaker *didn't know* she was his girlfriend. "Empapé" (soaked) is in the preterite, indicating a completed action. The phrase 'sin querer' means 'unintentionally'.

• Puta, vamo' a un hotel, no me falta el papel

  ➔ Imperative Mood + Present Indicative

  ➔ The sentence begins with an interjection ("Puta"). "Vamo'" is a colloquial shortening of "vamos" (let's go) and is in the imperative mood, giving a command or suggestion. "No me falta el papel" (I don't lack paper) uses the present indicative to state a current state of having something.

• Yo no hablo de mi vida, esa mierda e' muy triste

  ➔ Negative Statement + Demonstrative Pronoun + Adjective

  ➔ The sentence uses a negative statement ("Yo no hablo...") to express what the speaker *doesn't* do. "Esa mierda" (that shit) is a demonstrative pronoun referring to his life, and "muy triste" (very sad) is an adjective describing it.

• Tomé seis Ritalin, ¿qué hiciste, chinchulín?

  ➔ Preterite Tense + Interrogative Sentence

  ➔ The verb "tomé" (I took) is in the preterite tense, indicating a completed action in the past. The question "¿qué hiciste?" (what did you do?) is a direct question using the preterite of the verb "hacer" (to do). "Chinchulín" is a colloquial term.
