[English]

Wow, I was somewhere else

Oh, wow, I was somewhere else

Have you missed me? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

I haven't forgotten where you ended up

We're tied together, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

You belong to some guy from Cartagena

The only one who holds me back, the one who doesn't burn me

You're not going anywhere, you make an unhappy person happy

I'm yours, you're mine, auh

I know you thought I wouldn’t come back this time

I know you don't vibe with anyone else

I had to come back, I returned to where my baby is

You met me out on the street

I know you thought I wouldn’t come back this time

I know you don't vibe with anyone else

I had to come back, I returned to where my baby is

You met me out on the street

I had someone else, you get mad at me

You show off, you love me but hate me

In my memory, all your melodies

And these parodies lose and they’re weak

You got a wide body, I rolled up armed and in a hoodie

I’m only thinking about today, your key is in the lobby

22 on my Roleta, .22 clip

I was lost and you left me on read

If you have someone else, keep it a secret

Baby, don't make me go looking

I smack him right in the middle of the Baldo

Without Palmolive, washing money

Baby, you’re a doll

You look like a Barbie doll

Distributing cookies

Like the boy scouts

At the Quinta they know us

We always break the mall

I bought a full pack, a little Draco

I was hot like the sun

Stop, stop, come

Spend, spend, ma

Spend, spend, come

You won’t be alone

I know you thought I wouldn’t come back this time

I know you don't vibe with anyone else

I had to come back, I returned to where my baby is

You met me out on the street

I know you thought I wouldn’t come back this time

I know you don't vibe with anyone else

I had to come back, I returned to where my baby is

You met me out on the street

Oh, wow, I was somewhere else

Have you missed me? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

I haven't forgotten where you ended up

We're tied together, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

You belong to some guy from Cartagena

The only one who holds me back, the one who doesn't burn me

You're not going anywhere, you make an unhappy person happy

I'm yours, you're mine, ah

Oh, wow, I was somewhere else

Have you missed me? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

I haven't forgotten where you ended up

We're tied together, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

[Spanish]

Wow, estaba por otro lado

Oh, wow, estaba por otro lado

¿Me has extrañado? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

Yo no me he olvidado, dónde tú has quedado

Estamos atados, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

Tú eres ajena de un tal Cartagena

La única que me frena, la que no me quema

Tú no vas pa ningún lado, tú haces feliz a un infeliz

Yo soy de ti, tú eres de mí, auh

Yo sé que habías pensado que no volvería esta vez

Yo sé que tú no fluyes con más nadie

Tuve que volver, volví pa donde mi bebé

Tú a mí me conociste en la calle

Yo sé que habías pensado que no volvería esta vez

Yo sé que tú no fluyes con más nadie

Tuve que volver, volví pa donde mi bebé

Tú a mí me conociste en la calle

Yo tuve otra, te me endemonias

Tú te me enmostras, me amas, pero me odias

En mi memoria todas tus melodías

Y estas parodias no ganan y están mordidas

Tú tienes un wide body, yo bajé armado y en hoodie

Yo solo pienso en hoy, tu llave está en el lobby

22 en mi Roleta, peine .22

Estaba perdido y me deja en leído

Si tienes otro, guárdalo en secreto

Bebé, no me hagas buscarlo

Yo le estrello en el medio de la Baldo

Sin Palmolive, el dinero lavando

Bebé, tú eres una muñeca

Tú pareces Barbie doll

Do repartiendo galleta

Como los boy scouts

En la Quinta nos conocen

Siempre rompemos el mall

Me compré un full, un Draquito

Estaba caliente como el sol

Basta, basta, ven

Gasta, gasta, ma

Gasta, gasta, ven

No estarás sola

Yo sé que habías pensado que no volvería esta vez

Yo sé que tú no fluyes con más nadie

Tuve que volver, volví pa donde mi bebé

Tú a mí me conociste en la calle

Yo sé que habías pensado que no volvería esta vez

Yo sé que tú no fluyes con más nadie

Tuve que volver, volví pa donde mi bebé

Tú a mí me conociste en la calle

Oh, wow, estaba por otro lado

¿Me has extrañado? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

Yo no me he olvidado, dónde tú has quedado

Estamos atados, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

Tú eres ajena de un tal Cartagena

La única que me frena, la que no me quema

Tú no vas pa ningún lado, tú haces feliz a un infeliz

Yo soy de ti, tú eres de mí, ah

Oh, wow, estaba por otro lado

¿Me has extrañado? Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh

Yo no me he olvidado, dónde tú has quedado

Estamos atados, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh
