Chorus
no tiene talento pero muy buena mosa
She has no talent but she's a real good looker
tiene buen cuerpo y es otra cosa
She has a great body and that's something else
muy poderosa en television
Very powerful on television
tiene un trasero que causa sensacion
She has a backside that causes a sensation
no tiene talento pero muy buena mosa
She has no talent but she's a real good looker
tiene buen cuerpo y es otra cosa
She has a great body and that's something else
muy poderosa en television
Very powerful on television
tiene un trasero que causa sensacion

sabor aqui esta la salsa
Flavor, here comes the salsa
con changa y rap que es mucho mejor
With changa and rap, it's way better
y le trai la historia de una mamita en television
And here's the story of a mama on television
que con su trasero supo ganarse la admiracion
Who won admiration with her backside
causo entre los actores gran simpatia por su esplendor
She caused great sympathy among the actors for her splendor
y entre las actrices la antipatia por la razon
And among the actresses, disdain for the reason
de que su palanca fuera su cuerpo y no su valor
That her leverage was her body and not her worth

amo al ejecutivo de arte dramatico lo embrujo
I love the drama executive, he was enchanted
moviendo el trasero poquito a poco lo conquisto
Moving her backside little by little, she conquered him
y asi fue la estrella mas destacada dentro del show
And thus she became the most outstanding star in the show
fallo no pudo en la esena donde habia llanto pues no lloro
She failed, she couldn't in the scene where there were tears because she didn't cry
no canto en la esena donde habia canto solo doblo
She didn't sing in the scene where there was singing, she just dubbed
y a pesar de todo sigue cobrando mucho mejor
And despite everything, she keeps earning way better
