Lyrics[]

[Verso 1: J Balvin]
Dale, sin miedo
Arriésgate y sígueme el juego
Sola, creo
Di a tus amigas: "Hasta luego"
No des explicaciones, sólo vente
Que tu mente es malvada, eso yo lo sé
En tu mirada yo lo puedo ver
Te mata mi estilo y eso yo lo sé

[Pre-Coro: J Balvin]
Vamo' a romper la disco, ram-pa-pam-pam
Baila que no te he visto, pam-pa-pam-pam
Porque tú eras lo que yo soñé
No perdamos el tiempo, pam-pa-pam-pam

[Coro: J Balvin]
I need you
Hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, ma'
I need you
Hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, ma'
Girl, it's gettin' hotter
I can't take much more
I need you
Hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, ma'
I need you

[Post-Coro: Pitbull]
(¡Wu-uh!)

[Verso 2: Pitbull & Camila Cabello]
Pa' 'lante con la libertad de Cuba
Y que la isla entera suba, ah
De la Habana hasta Santiago
Todo mundo fumando puro y tomando tragos, qué relajo
El vago trabaja doble, so, ponte las pilas
Todo mundo quiere una Cubana, ponte en fila (Oh, yeah)
Esto es un party, que siga, como sea
¿Cómo qué? Como tú quiera', a tu manera (¡Wu!)
Are you single? Quítate las payamita' pa' que tú veas (Ah)
No soy un mono vestido de seda (Jajaja)
Esas mujeres 'tán caliente' y mucho más
Te queman por aquí, te queman por allá

[Pre-Coro: Camila Cabello]
No miraré atrás, oh no, ya no
No puedo respirar
Sin tu amor, baby, tu amor

That can treat you like the queen that you was meant to be
I'm that good, I'm that raw, I'm that sick, I'm that dog
I'm that nothing to something, that have it all
Now mami, just watch, learn and listen

But before I vanish she spoke Spanish
