Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus:]
Cuban girls Cuban girls
Puerto Rican girls Puerto Rican girls
Mexican girls Mexican girls
Spanish girls Spanish girls
I like 'em girls, girls
Latin girls, Latin girls
Latin girls, what's happenin' girls
What's happenin' girls, what's happenin'?

I like Latin, them Latin women
An' they love me 'cause
I'm that man with
Coconuts and chocolate skin
I'm that mocha masculine
Feminines that are Latin
Call your friends and call your cousins
Cause I know you got dozens of them
Marias, Elizabeth, Sonias, and Blancas
When I see you, you can get boned if you want to
Yo quiero and I'm sincero
If you never had an eechee
Let me be your primo
We could hit the channel, we can dance the bolero
Have a shopping spree and you can spend my dinero but
I wish you was more like J. Lo 'cause
Love don't cost a thing
So won't you let this king
Love the queen of Argentina
Girl you know you know what I mean
Cause I like them

[Chorus]

Que on da quieres con mi
Mira mucha cha esto para ti
Latina chichana por mi
Mas finas me gustan asi
Mira a, mira a mami
Esperate, esperate, esperate aqui
We could connect and act humanly
Indulge in animalistic swing
We could have conversation or
Sexual relation or
We can explore find out more about
Things we've done before
Whether it be kinky thoughts
I'm gon' make your chonies drop
Watch mister shorty rock I'll rock your sticky spot
Hombre lumbre known to make it hot
I'll make you drip drop
They call me Cum-a-lot
I like 'em

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Melody
Para mi so sera
Para ti sera para ti
Empty eyes
Fue goden trode mi
Say Latin girls Latin girls

Pasa senorita
You're a brown skin mama
A yo mama sana wanna take you to Havana
We could get down every day of the semana
Dance to the music and follow the guitara
Come on...
Dame un mento y lo bevo con un beso
Take you to Phillip-pines
Then you don't have to spend a peso
We got connections like a novel to a reader
I can relate 'cause Latin girls look Filipina
Check your history there's no mystery between us
Destiny made it possible to be us
I know about your culture 'cause it's mixed with mine
We go together well just like beats and rhymes
Tequilas and limes
So let's combine
And I'll say it one more time
I like them...





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The song "Latin Girls" by Black Eyed Peas is a catchy tune that celebrates the beauty and allure of Latin girls from various countries, including Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Spain. The chorus repeats the names of these nations along with the phrase "I like 'em girls, girls, Latin girls" to emphasize the artist's love for Latin women. The lyrics describe the singer's admiration for the feminine beauty of Latinas and his willingness to pursue them romantically. He highlights his physical attributes, such as his "coconuts and chocolate skin," to appeal to their preferences. The song also touches on the cultural similarities between the singer and the Latinas, which he believes can be explored further through conversation, sexual experiences, or even a visit to different Latin countries.


Although some may argue that the song objectifies and stereotypes Latinas, it is essential to note that the Black Eyed Peas have always celebrated diversity and multiculturalism in their music. Their intention may not be to offend but rather to show appreciation for the unique qualities of Latin women. Therefore, it's up to the listener to interpret the lyrics and decide whether they are problematic or not.
