No te pongas bruto
Don't get angry or aggressive towards her.

Loca
Shakira reminds the listener that she is a little crazy.

Que te la bebe

Dance or die
An intense name for a party anthem: either dance until you're exhausted or have the time of your life.

Él está por mí y por ti borró
Despite the fact that Shakira doesn't have much to offer, her lover has abandoned others for her.

Y eso que tú tienes to', y yo ni un kikí

Conmigo en frente, ella se hace la gata en celo contigo
The other woman is putting on a show in front of the listener, acting like a cat in heat.

Te cotorrea el oído pa' tenerte en alta
The woman is whispering sweet nothings in the listener's ear to make him feel special.

Ella muere por ti, tú por mí es que matas
The other woman is head over heels for the listener, but he only has eyes for Shakira.

Sigo tranquila como una paloma de e'quina

Mientras ella se pasa en su BM al lado mío
The other woman might be driving a fancy car, but Shakira is unfazed.

Yo de aquí no me voy, lo que está pa' mí

Ninguna va poder quitármelo de un tirón

Soy loca con mi tigre, loca, loca, loca

Yo te llevo al malecón por un caminito

Me dicen que tu novia anda con un rifle
Rumors are spreading that the other woman is aggressively jealous of Shakira and might even be armed.

Porque me vio bailando mambo pa' ti, ¿qué no lo permite?

Yo no tengo la culpa de que tú te enamore'
It's not Shakira's fault that the listener has fallen for her.

Mientras él te compra flores yo compro cond- uh!

Cuantas más rayas mejor y mira eso es lo que dicen (shh)
The more lines of (probably) cocaine the better, or so people say.

¡Dios mío! (ah! Ah!)

Se colán lo' ra-ta-ta
Gunshots can be heard in the background.

Yo soy loca con mi tigre
