[English]

Hey, yo

My voice changed a little bit, huh?, ha, ha, ha

But it's still the same

Arcángel, baby

I love going out at night

I'm not afraid of the dark (darkness, darkness, darkness)

I own the night

And the darkness works in my favor when I hit the streets

And everyone hides for fear that I'll kill them

Even though I'm surrounded by so much evil, a friend to no one

Because I, oh-oh

I'm a gargoyle, at night we go out to let loose

Women, nightclubs, dancing, grinding (I'm a gargoyle)

The women let themselves get swept up

Trendy reggaeton turned into grinding

I'm a gargoyle, at night we go out to let loose

Women, nightclubs, dancing, grinding (I'm a gargoyle)

The women let themselves get swept up

Trendy reggaeton turned into grinding

This is for the girls in Spain

Who fog up the car windows, eh

Ready for the mission and the exploits

Her ex forgot her, she doesn't miss him

The ones from Venezuela, they like it a cappella

But the one from Chile asks for it hard

Grinding for the girls so they can get active

If they're feeling horny, I let them tease me, eh

But a girl from Puerto Rico

Has something that kills me

She never says sorry

She rolls up, lights up, and gets wild

I have one from Mexico

Who calls if she drinks mezcal

By day she acts like a saint

By night she lives to sin

I'm a gargoyle, at night we go out to let loose

Women, nightclubs, dancing, grinding (I'm a gargoyle)

The women let themselves get swept up

Trendy reggaeton turned into grinding

I'm a gargoyle, at night we go out to let loose

Women, nightclubs, dancing, grinding (I'm a gargoyle)

The women let themselves get swept up

Trendy reggaeton turned into grinding

I keep going out at night

I'm an original gargoyle

Over time I've become stronger (that's what I mean)

I'm not just a passing trend

I'm still a gargoyle

I'm still active and they haven't caught up to me yet

Back in the day, we used to go out at night

But now we run the streets night and day

I'm still a gargoyle

I'm still active and they haven't caught up to me yet

Back in the day, we used to go out at night

But now we run the streets night and day

Because the night is perfect for some good grinding

She wants to drink, bottle service

DJ, don't stop the reggaeton, all she wants is to grind

Keep playing that heavy stuff

The girl wants heavy reggaeton, the kind that rules

The club goes wild when she moves that skirt

The high motivates her to lift her skirt

Even if she posts it on Snapchat, yeah

Today we toast because tonight, you'll be mine

Let go without fighting me

Women, nightclubs, and the street life (street life, street life)

I'm a gargoyle, at night we go out to let loose

Women, nightclubs, dancing, grinding (I'm a gargoyle)

The women let themselves get swept up

Trendy reggaeton turned into grinding

I'm a gargoyle, at night we go out to let loose

Women, nightclubs, dancing, grinding (I'm a gargoyle)

The women let themselves get swept up

Trendy reggaeton turned into grinding

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, yeah

In the grinding

[Spanish]

Hey, yo

¿Me cambió la voz un poquito, ah?, ja, ja, ja

Pero sigue siendo lo mismo

Arcángel, pa

Me encanta salir de noche

Yo no le temo a la oscuridad (oscuridad, oscuridad, oscuridad)

Soy dueño de la noche

Y la oscuridad juega a favor cuando salgo a la calle

Y to el mundo se esconde por miedo a que yo los mate

Aunque me rodee de tanta maldad, amigo de nadie

Porque yo, oh-oh

Soy una gárgola, de noche salimos pa deshacer

Mujeres, discoteca, bailoteo, manoteo (soy una gárgola)

Las mujeres se dejan envolver

Reggaetón de moda converti'o en el perreo

Soy una gárgola, de noche salimos pa deshacer

Mujeres, discoteca, bailoteo, manoteo (soy una gárgola)

Las mujeres se dejan envolver

Reggaetón de moda converti'o en el perreo

Esto es pa las nenas de España

Que en el auto los cristales empañan, eh

Puestas pa'l misioneo y las hazañas

Su ex lo olvidó, no lo extraña

La' de Venezuela, le' gusta a capela

Pero la de Chile duro me lo pide

Perreo pa las nenas pa que se activen

Si están bellacas, dejo que me hostiguen, eh

Pero una bori

Tiene algo que me mata

Ella nunca pide sorry

Enrola, prende, se arrebata

Tengo una de México

Que llama si bebe mezcal

De día se hace la santa

De noche le da con pecar

Soy una gárgola, de noche salimos pa deshacer

Mujeres, discoteca, bailoteo, manoteo (soy una gárgola)

Las mujeres se dejan envolver

Reggaetón de moda convertido en el perreo

Soy una gárgola, de noche salimos pa deshacer

Mujeres, discoteca, bailoteo, manoteo (soy una gárgola)

Las mujeres se dejan envolver

Reggaetón de moda converti'o en el perreo

Yo sigo saliendo de noche

Soy una gárgola original

Con el tiempo me hice más fuerte (quiere decir)

De moda no voy a pasar

Yo sigo siendo una gárgola

Sigo activo y no me llegan todavía

Pa esos tiempos salíamos de noche

Pero ahora campeamo' de noche y de día

Yo sigo siendo una gárgola

Sigo activo y no me llegan todavía

Pa esos tiempos salíamos de noche

Pero ahora campeamo' de noche y de día

Que la noche está buena para un buen perreo

Ella quiere beber, botelleo

DJ, no le quite el reggaetón que lo que quiere es perreo

Que le pongan del sateo

La nena quiere reggaetón pesao del que manda

La disco se revuelca cuando mueve esa falda

La nota la motiva a que se suba la falda

Aunque salga en Snapchat, yeah

Hoy brindamos porque tú, esta noche serás para mí

Suéltate sin pelearme

Mujeres, discotecas y maleanteo (maleanteo, maleanteo)

Soy una gárgola, de noche salimos pa deshacer

Mujeres, discoteca, bailoteo, manoteo (soy una gárgola)

Las mujeres se dejan envolver

Reggaetón de moda convertido en el perreo

Soy una gárgola, de noche salimos pa deshacer

Mujeres, discoteca, bailoteo, manoteo (soy una gárgola)

Las mujeres se dejan envolver

Reggaetón de moda converti'o en el perreo

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, yeah

En el perreo
