[English]

El club a punto de cerrar

The club is about to close

Empujo gente pa' pasar

I push people aside to get through

Todos mirándote bailar, hmm (Hmm)

Everyone watching you dance, hmm (Hmm)

Te entro como un mata'or

I fall for you like a spell

Preparado para lo peor

Ready for the worst

Tu cariño es como un mal dolor

Your love is like a sharp pain

Sonaba la canción de terminar

The song about finishing was playing

El club estaba a punto de cerrar

The club was about to close

Tú bailaba' sola en la mitad

You were dancing alone in the middle

Y el resto mirando

While others watched

Siempre ha sido difícil de imitar

It's always been hard to imitate

No debí dejarme hipnotizar

I shouldn't have let myself get hypnotized

No debí acercarme sin pensar (No)

I shouldn't have approached you without thinking (No)

No te debí besar

I shouldn't have kissed you

No me debiste' besar

You shouldn't have kissed me

No te debí besar

I shouldn't have kissed you

No me debiste' besar

You shouldn't have kissed me

Yo te controlo la mente (Mente)

I control your mind (Mind)

Mami te pone caliente (Caliente)

Baby, you get hot (Hot)

Yo te digo más despacio, y despué' más de prisa y acaba' más fuerte

I tell you slower, then faster, and you finish stronger

No debiste acercarte, no (No)

You shouldn't have gotten close, no (No)

No debiste rozarme, no (No)

You shouldn't have touched me, no (No)

No debiste enamorarte, no (No)

You shouldn't have fallen in love, no (No)

Te tengo preso en mis garras

I'm holding you captive in my claws

Papi no has vuelto atrá' (Au)

Baby, you're not coming back (Whoa)

No pue' salir de la trampa (Au)

You can't escape the trap (Whoa)

Pidiendo más y más (Necesito más)

Asking for more and more (I need more)

Bebecito don't gass yourself

Baby, don't gas yourself

I got you like everyone else

I got you like everyone else

I have you under my spell

I have you under my spell

Not the only one (Not the only one)

Not the only one (Not the only one)

No te debí besar

I shouldn't have kissed you

No me debiste' besar

You shouldn't have kissed me

No te debí besar

I shouldn't have kissed you

No me debiste' besar (Hmm)

I shouldn't have kissed you (Hmm)

Aún recuerdo tu sabor (Tu sabor)

I still remember your flavor (Your flavor)

Encerrado como una prisión (Una prisión)

Locked up like a prison (A prison)

En mi boca como una obsesión, bebé (Hmm)

In my mouth like an obsession, baby (Hmm)

Dios ayúdame a aceptar (Aceptar)

God, help me accept (Accept)

Las cosas que no puede cambiar (Puedo cambiar)

The things I can't change (I can change)

Dios ayúdame, dame valor

God, help me, give me courage

Movías ese pum pum como al galope

You moved that pum pum like galloping

Intentando que el pedo no se me note

Trying not to let the fart show

Quería que ese tam tam me lo rebote

I wanted that tam tam to bounce back to me

Y que me traigan botellas para que explote

And for bottles to come so I can explode

Movías ese pum pum como al galope

You moved that pum pum like galloping

Intentando que el pedo no se me note

Trying not to let the fart show

Quería que ese tam tam me lo rebote

I wanted that tam tam to bounce back to me

Y que me traigan botellas para que explote

And for bottles to come so I can explode

No te debí besar (No)

I shouldn't have kissed you (No)

No me debiste' besar

You shouldn't have kissed me

No te debí besar (No)

I shouldn't have kissed you (No)

No me debiste' besar (Hmm)

Grammar:

• No Te Debí Besar

  ➔ Conditional Perfect (debí + infinitive)

  ➔ Expresses regret or something that should not have happened. 'Debí' is the first-person singular conditional of 'deber' (should/ought to). 'Besar' is the infinitive 'to kiss'. Therefore, the phrase means 'I should not have kissed'.

• Todos mirándote bailar

  ➔ Gerund (bailar) after a verb of perception (mirar)

  ➔ After verbs of perception like 'mirar' (to watch/look at), 'oír' (to hear), the infinitive (or gerund) is used to describe the action being observed. Here, everyone is watching 'you dancing'.

• Te entro como un mata'or

  ➔ Simile using 'como'

  ➔ 'Como' is used to make a comparison. Here, 'Te entro' (I approach you) is being compared to 'un mata'or' (a bullfighter), suggesting a confident and aggressive approach.

• Tu cariño es como un mal dolor

  ➔ Simile using 'como'

  ➔ Again, 'como' is used for comparison. 'Tu cariño' (your affection) is being compared to 'un mal dolor' (a bad pain), implying the affection is unpleasant or difficult to deal with.

• Siempre ha sido difícil de imitar

  ➔ Present Perfect (ha sido) + Passive Infinitive (de imitar)

  ➔ 'Ha sido' is the present perfect of 'ser' (to be), and 'de imitar' indicates something that can be/is imitated. Combined, it means 'It has always been difficult to be imitated' or more naturally 'It has always been difficult to imitate'.

• No debiste acercarte, no

  ➔ Conditional Perfect (debiste + infinitive) with negation

  ➔ 'No debiste' is the negative form of 'debiste' (you should have), which is the second-person singular conditional of 'deber' (should/ought to). 'Acercarte' is the reflexive infinitive 'to approach'. Therefore, the phrase means 'You should not have approached'.
