[English]

Who's this? (Daddy Yankee!)

Turn up the mambo so my girls can rev their engines

Turn up the mambo so my girls can rev their engines

Turn up the mambo so my girls can rev their engines

Let them get ready, because what's coming is to go (hard)

Baby, I know you're not going to back down (hard)

What I love is how you just let yourself go (hard)

Whenever the weekend comes, she goes out to have fun (hard)

My girl never stops partying because

She loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

How she loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

She loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

How she loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

She turns on the turbines, she doesn't discriminate

She doesn't miss a single driveway party

She gets all dolled up even just to go around the corner

She looks so good that even her shadow matches

A killer, she dominates me

She rides in cars, motorcycles, and limos

She fills her tank with adrenaline

When she hears reggaeton in the kitchen

She loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

How she loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

She loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

How she loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

We're already the best here, don't get upset

On the dance floor, they call us "The Killers"

You make anyone fall in love

When you dance to the rhythm of the drums

This goes out to all kinds of girls

To the older ones, to the younger ones

To the ones who are wilder than the hunters

To the women who never turn off their engines

...

You and I have something pending

You owe me something and you know it

With me, she loses herself

She doesn't answer to anyone

You and I have something pending

You owe me something and you know it

With me, she loses herself

She doesn't answer to anyone

Turn up the mambo so my girls can rev their engines

Turn up the mambo so my girls can rev their engines

Turn up the mambo so my girls can rev their engines

Let them get ready, because what's coming is to go (hard)

Baby, I know you're not going to back down (hard)

What I love is how you just let yourself go (hard)

Whenever the weekend comes, she goes out to have fun (hard)

My girl never stops partying because

She loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

How she loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

She loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

How she loves gasoline

(Give me more gasoline)

...

No se pierde ni un party de marquesina

Se acicala hasta pa' la esquina

Luce tan bien que hasta la sombra le combina

Llena su tanque de adrenalina

Cuando escucha el reguetón en la cocina

Cuando baila' al ritmo de los tambore'

Esto va pa' las gatas de to' los colores

Pa' las mayores, pa' las menores

Pa' las que son más zorras que los cazadores

Pa' las mujeres que no apagan sus motore'

Tenemo' tú y yo algo pendiente

Tú me debe' algo y lo sabe'

Conmigo ella se pierde

No le rinde cuentas a nadie
