[English]

You posted a photo for me to see

And honestly, baby, you really look good

What are we doing today?

I have a wallet full for you

I'll dress you in whatever brand you want

You're a sweetheart

You're going to love my fragrance

I smell like trouble, Creed and expensive weed

I want to see you, babe, in the motel, baby Lucifer

You won't be going home today

I'm going to steal you, and yes, it's a threat

Baby, tell me who makes your skin tingle like last time?

Once again

And tell me who, little one

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Ha

...

Uh!

...

You posted a story for them to see

And whoever replies, you know, they can forget it

If I'm the good one

Brunette, slim, with cinnamon skin

You seduce, you trap, you are the curse

Karma, curse, hey

You're going to love my fragrance

I smell like trouble, Creed and expensive weed

I want to see you, babe, in the motel, baby Lucifer

You won't be going home today

I'm going to steal you, and yes, it's a threat

Baby, tell me who makes your skin tingle like last time?

Once again

...

Baby, tell me who makes your skin tingle like last time?

...

[Spanish]

Subiste una foto pa que te vea

Y al chile, mami, tú sí estás bien buena

¿Qué hay que hacer hoy?

Pa ti tengo la cartera llena

Te forro de la marca que tú quieras

Eres un bombón

Te va a encantar mi fragancia

Huelo a problemas, Creed y mota cara

Ya te quiero ver, bichi, en el motel, bebé Lucifer

Hoy no llegarás a casa

Voy a robarte, y sí, es una amenaza

Bebé, ¿dime quién te eriza la piel como la otra vez?

Otra vez

Y dime quién, chiquitita

Ey, ey, ey, ey, ey

Ja

¡Uh!

Subiste una story pa que la vean

Y al que conteste, sabe, me la pela

Si el bueno soy yo

Morena, finita, de piel canela

Seduce, atrapa, tú eres la condena

Karma, maldición, ey

Te va a encantar mi fragancia

Huelo a problemas, Creed y mota cara

Ya te quiero ver, bichi, en el motel, bebé Lucifer

Hoy no llegarás a casa

Voy a robarte, y sí, es una amenaza

Bebé, ¿dime quién te eriza la piel como la otra vez?

Otra vez

Bebé, ¿dime quién te eriza la piel como la otra vez?

Key Grammar Structures

• Subiste una foto pa' que te vea

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (present subjunctive after 'para que')

  ➔ The phrase "para que" (in order that, so that) requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause. "Vea" is the subjunctive form of "ver" (to see).

• Y al chile, mami, tú sí estás bien buena

  ➔ Use of "sí" for emphasis

  ➔ The word "sí" before "estás" is used for emphasis, meaning "you really are" or "you definitely are".

• ¿Qué hay que hacer hoy?

  ➔ Impersonal "hay que + infinitive"

  ➔ "Hay que hacer" means "one must do" or "it is necessary to do". It expresses obligation or necessity in a general sense.

• Te forro de la marca que tú quieras

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (present subjunctive after 'que')

  ➔ When "que" introduces a relative clause that describes something uncertain or indefinite, the subjunctive is often used. Here, "quieras" is the subjunctive form of "querer" (to want).

• Huelo a problemas, Creed y mota cara

  ➔ Using "a" with the verb "oler"

  ➔ The preposition "a" is used with the verb "oler" to indicate what something smells *of*. "Huelo a problemas" means "I smell of problems."

• Ya te quiero ver, bichi, en el motel, bebé Lucifer

  ➔ Use of the verb "querer" + infinitive to express wanting to do something.

  ➔ "Quiero ver" means "I want to see". The infinitive "ver" follows the verb "querer" to express the desire to perform the action.

• Voy a robarte, y sí, es una amenaza

  ➔ Future tense using "ir a + infinitive"

  ➔ "Voy a robarte" is the near future tense. It's formed by conjugating "ir" (to go) + "a" + infinitive. Here, it means "I am going to steal you" or "I will steal you."
