Daddy Yankee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daddy Yankee viene acá, y está seguro de que viene a matar
Don-siguiri-dondon, siguiri-dondon, siguiri-siguiri-don
No intentes parar a esta persona que no pueden acabar
¡Los Homerun-es! ¿Qué?

Y están locos, combatir contra mí
No pueden venir a acercarse porque el cangri está aquí
Y están locos, combatir contra mí

No pueden venir a acercarse porque el Yankee está aquí

No pueden venir a acabar, ¿cómo es?
No pueden venir a acabar, ¿cómo es?
No pueden venir a acabar, sí, porque el Yankee está aquí
Le dice que se mueva rápidamente esa nena
Ella se me acerca y busca de mi avena
Ella me sirvió como postre y de cena
Ella me gritaba y a la vez me decía
"Oye, mi chico, no pares por favor
Tú tienes un talento, ay mi Dios
Me gusta la manera como gozo un montón
El Daddy-Daddy Yankee con el reggae-tón-tón" (¿qué?)

Que no-no-no-no-no paren de bailar (¡no!)
Que no, que no, que no lo paren, que no (¿qué?)
Que no-no-no-no-no paren de bailar
El Daddy Yankee es quien le mete

Y están locos, combatir contra mí
No pueden venir a acercarse porque el Yankee está aquí
Y están locos, combatir contra mí
No pueden venir a acercarse porque el Yankee está aquí (¿qué?)

Que no-no-no-no-no paren de bailar (¡no!)
Que no, que no, que no lo paren, que no (¿qué?)

Que no-no-no-no-no paren de bailar
El Daddy Yankee es quien le mete
