El chofer afuera por si algo se da, se daThe driver is outside in case something happens, let it happen.
Tú y yo en una nota media locaYou and I in a slightly crazy vibe,

Y yo no fumo pero contigo me elevoAnd I don’t smoke, but with you I get elevated.
Los dos perreando sin tocar el sueloBoth of us dancing close without touching the ground.
En una nube, la nota te subeOn a cloud, the vibe takes you up,
Tan arriba que aquí no llega ni UberSo high up that not even an Uber can reach us here.
Ella no duerme, siempre está activaShe doesn’t sleep, she’s always active.
No quema indica, siempre sativaShe doesn’t burn ‘indica’, it’s always ‘sativa’.
Mientras yo le canto me mira pa’ atrásWhile I sing to her, she looks back at me.
Llegó la hora y ya te quiero másThe time has come, and I already love you more.
Pero tranqui’, tranquilaBut relax, just calm down,
Que llegan tus amigas que no hacen filaBecause your friends are arriving and they don’t wait in line.
Tenemos vitaminas pa’ las pupilasWe have eye candy for everyone to see,
Toda loca pidiendo tequilaEvery girl is going crazy, asking for tequila,
Y esto no terminaAnd this isn’t ending.

Al party llegué bien al gareteI arrived at the party completely wild.
Las mamis tienen sendo piqueteThe girls have an incredible style.
I got it, yo tengo el billeteI got it, I’ve got the money.
Son mías sin ponerle’ el grilleteThey’re mine without needing to tie them down.
Sin preguntar, al maquinón se montaWithout asking, she gets into the luxury ride.
No es récord pero quiere que la rompanIt isn’t a record, but she wants to push the limit.
No es fugitiva pero quiere que le pongaShe isn’t a runaway, but she wants me to catch her.
No soy terrorista pero ella quiere bombaI’m not a rebel, but she wants that explosive energy.
La luz está verde, por favor, no paresThe light’s green, please, don’t stop.
Como Cristóbal, yo descubro tus lunaresLike Columbus, I’m discovering your beauty marks.
