La Latina
Michael Stuart Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ahí na’ más.
Ay, la latina me gusta a mi, Porque es sandunguera, Fiera y sabrosa (más na!)
Con su tumba’o que enloquece La latina es otra cosa.
Ay, la latina me gusta a mi, (que ricas son) Porque es sandunguera,
Fiera y sabrosa, (bien sabrosón)
Con su tumba’o que enloquece La latina es otra cosa.
¿Dónde están las mamis que dominan? La mujer Latina es otra cosa Les gusta el flow con la salsa sabrosa y en el va y ven del movimiento es una diosa. A mi me gustan las Latinas porque son alborotosas.
Ay, la latina me gusta a mi, (bien poderosa) Porque es sandunguera, Fiera y sabrosa (como goza!)

Con su tumba’o que enloquece La latina es otra cosa.
La Latina de mi se adueña y de salsa me enseña, quema fuego y prende leña.
Dulzura caribeña, nena bien trigueña, de mi ser usted es la dueña, desde la tierra borinqueña.
Me gusta como baila para mi
Es que me gusta como baila, desde que la vi
Oye, sea negrita o sea blanquita, coloraíta, son completita’ para mi

Me gusta como baila para mi
Si tú te me queda sufriendo, porque no te vi
Es brabucona, juguetona. Ay! Como me gustan a mi
Me gusta como baila para mi
El guaguancó de la calle, soneando vo’a morir. Rumbón de esquina a lo chamaco.
Pero me gusta como baila para mi Sacude y retumba,
Pero me gusta como baila para mi
Ya los tambores están sonando, con las buenas vibras
Pero me gusta como baila para mi
Esa fila de gente latina en el mundo entero representándote a ti y a mi

Pero me gusta como baila para mi. Con la Latina te juro que voy a mil
Tú sabes.
