Ay Dios
Oh God
Llegamos de nuevo, vamo' alla
We're here again, let's go
Y es que soy una figura y que les preocupa
And it's that I'm quite the figure and it worries them
Se que les preocupa tu sabes
I know it worries them, you know
Y es que siempre están pendientes a mi vida privada
And they're always watching my private life
Y noche, noche y dia
And night, night and day
Yo sé que quieren saber de mi más de la cuenta
I know they want to know more about me than they should
Y muchos se comentan
And many are talking
Pero no saben nada
But they don't know anything
La quiero bonita
I want her to be beautiful
La quiero bonita
I want her pretty
Y que esté bien buena
And I want her to be real fine
Si me sale mala, caramba
If she turns out bad, oh man
Ese es mi problema
That's my problem
La quiero bonita
I want her pretty
La quiero bien pa
I want her just right
Y que esté bien buena
And I want her to be real fine
Si me sale mala, caramba
If she turns out bad, oh man
Ese es mi problema
That's my problem
Como tiene el pelo
Like she has the hair
(¿Como tiene el que?)
(What does he look like?)
Y como tiene el pelo
And how he wears his hair
(¿Como tiene el que?)
(What does he look like?)
Y como tiene el pelo, que le llega a la cintura
And how he wears his hair, it reaches his waist
Que le llega al suelo
It touches the ground
La quiero bonita
I want her beautiful
Con su pum pun grande
With her big, round butt
Con su pelo largo
With her long hair
Donde usted la ve
Wherever you see her
La quiero así mismo
I want her just like that
Para salir de noche
To go out at night
Hacerme el loco en la matinée
Acting all cool at the matinee
La quiero bonita
I want her pretty
Y que esté bien buena (bien buena)
And to be quite fine (quite fine)
Si me sale mala, caramba
If she turns out bad, oh man
Ese es mi problema
That's my problem
La quiero bonita (la quiero bien linda)
I want her pretty (I want her real cute)
Y que esté bien buena
And to be quite fine
Si me sale mala, caramba
If she turns out bad, oh man
Ese es mi problema
That's my problem
Tranquilo
Calm down
Si se baja yo la subo
If she goes down, I'll lift her up
Los problemas ponlo a mi nombre
Put the problems in my name
Que yo asumo
Because I'll take them on
La quiero diferente a todas
I want her different from all the rest
Diferente a todas
Different from all the rest
Con su pelo largo y que se vuelva loca
With her long hair and let her go wild
Con su pum pun grande así es como es
With her big bum, that's just how she is
Pa' que la miren, la miren
So that they can see her, see her
Pa' salir de noche o para la matinée
To go out at night or for the matinée
La quiero diferente a todas
I want her different from everyone else
Diferente a todas
Different from everyone else
Con su pelo largo y que se vuelva loca
With her long hair and going crazy
Con su pum pun grande así es como es
With her big boom boom, that's just how she is
Que hermosa es
How beautiful she is
Pa' salir de noche o para la matinée
For a night out or for the matinée
Pa' salir de noche o para la matinée
For a night out or for the matinée
Pa' salir de noche o para la matinée
For a night out or for the matinée
Como tú dices que yo soy una bomba
As you say I'm a bomb
Como tú dices que yo soy una bomba, bomba
As you say I'm a bomb, bomb
Tú dices que yo soy una bomba
You say I'm a bomb
Estos son los 4, tú sabes
These are the four, you know
Como tú dices que yo soy una bomba
Just like you say I'm a bomb
Como tú dices que yo soy una bomba, bomba
Just like you say I'm a bomb, bomb
Tú dices que yo soy una bomba
You say I'm a bomb
Tú pum pun mami no me va matar
You boom boom, baby, won't take me down
Tú pum pun mami mami no me va matar
You boom boom, baby, baby, won't take me down
Tú pum pun mami mami no me va matar
You boom boom, baby, baby, won't take me down
Tú pum pun mami mami no me va matar
You boom boom, baby, baby, won't take me down
Esta es la que quiero, la otra échala para allá
This is the one I want, the other throw it away
Tú pum pun mami mami no me va matar
You, boom boom, baby, baby, you won't kill me
Tú pumpun mami mami no me va matar
You, boom boom, baby, baby, you won't kill me
Tú pumpun mami mami no me va matar
You, boom boom, baby, baby, you won't kill me
Si yo soy los 4 échate para allá
If I'm the four, just move over there
Directamente desde el Cuartel haciendo
Directly from the barracks doing
Lo que se sabe hacer
What we know how to do
Ahora tú verás, ahora tú vas a ver
Now you'll see, now you're gonna see
Batule Dj
Batule DJ
Con nosotros
With us
Hay que picar el cake
We gotta slice the cake
La quiero bonita y que esté bien buena
I want her pretty and looking really fine
