Unforgettable
J.J. Oliveros "El Jilguero De Centro Habana" Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not good enough for me
Since I've been with you, ooh (JAE5)
It's not gonna work for you
Nobody can equal me (I know)

I know you had enough of them other guys
They only came and fed you a bag of lies
Gyal you ain't gotta compromise
A real G, thought you would give me butterflies
I see yourself through your eyes
Pray for me, it's a war zone outside
I pull up, I pull up
You jump inside
I pull up, I pull up
You jump inside

I'm gonna sip on this drink, when I'm fucked up
I should know how to pick up
I'm gonna catch the rhythm
While she push up against me, ooh, is she tipsy?
I had enough convo for 24
I peep'd you from across the room
Pretty little body, dancin' like GoGo, hey

And you are unforgettable (unforgettable)
I need to get you alone (oeh)
Why not? A fuckin' good time never hurt nobody
I got a little drink, but it's not Bacardi
If you loved the girl, then I'm so, so sorry
I gotta give it to her like we in a marriage

Feelin' like I'm fresh out; Boosie
If they want the drama, got the Uzi
Ship the whole crew to the cruise ship
Doin' shit you don't even see in movies
Ride with me, ride with me, boss
I got a hard head, but her ass soft
She want the last name with the ring on it
'Cause I pulled out a million cash, told her plank on it
You say I'm hot and fly
You say your ex was a nonsense guy
I ain't perfect but man's just try
Look how quick six months went by
African man, Caribbean ting
Frying plantain, she call me plantain
Flying on a plane to release your senses
Who do you love? Who do you believe in?

I'm gonna sip on this drink, when I'm fucked up
I should know how to pick up
I'm gonna catch the rhythm
While she push up against me, ooh, is she tipsy?
I had enough convo for 24
I peep'd you from across the room
Pretty little body, dancin' like GoGo, hey

And you are unforgettable (unforgettable)
I need to get you alone (oeh)
Why not? A fuckin' good time never hurt nobody
I got a little drink, but it's not Bacardi
If you loved the girl, then I'm so, so sorry
I gotta give it to her like we in a marriage

You ain't enough for me
Too much for you, alone
Baby, go and grab some bad bitches, bring 'em home
Know the jet's on me
I'mma curve my best for you, you know
So pick up that dress for me
Leave the rest on
I know you had enough of them other guys
They only came and fed you a bag of lies
Gyal you ain't gotta compromise
I see yourself through your eyes
Pray for me, it's a war zone outside
I pull up, I pull up
You jump inside
I pull up, I pull up
You jump inside

And you are unforgettable (unforgettable)
I need to get you alone (oeh)
Why not? A fuckin' good time never hurt nobody
I got a little drink, but it's not Bacardi
If you loved the girl, then I'm so, so sorry
I gotta give it to her like we in a marriage
Oh, like we in a hurry
No, no, I won't tell nobody
You're on your level too
Tryna do what lovers do

Oh, like we in a hurry
No, no, I won't tell nobody




You're on your level too
Tryna do what lovers do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to J.J. Oliveros "El Jilguero De Centro Habana"'s song Unforgettable are about a man who has found a woman who he believes is perfect for him. He tells her that he knows she's had enough of other guys and their lies, but he is different and won't compromise on what he wants for their relationship. He describes his attraction to her physical appearance and the way she dances, but emphasizes that their connection goes beyond that. The chorus repeats the message that she is unforgettable and he wants to be alone with her.


The verses continue with the man's observations about his own life and the world around him. He talks about feeling the effects of drinking and trying to pick up the rhythm of the music while the woman he's interested in dances nearby. He also talks about his wealth and how he uses it to woo her, offering to fly her to exotic locations and giving her gifts like cash. The last verse is a repetition of earlier messages, with the man telling the woman she doesn't have to settle for anyone else and reiterating his desire to be with her alone.
