Paloma Mami Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La tentación y la gloria también
La que decide cuándo y con quién
Papi, prepárate
Se acerca la madrugada y en el V.I.p
Rodeada de oro y plata
Y todas dicen
I like it when you call me "Mami"
Sigue así, sigue así
Di mi nombre
I like it when you call me "Mami"
Yo soy cada mujer from A to Z
More majestic than the seven seas, y
Más poderosa que dos Nefertitis
There's no heaven ni reyes, sin Mamis
On repeat, on repeat, on repeat
Me gusta que me diga "Mami"
Let me see if you got what I need, naah
Voy camino a tu casa, quítame el estrés
Como quieras que lo diga, español o inglés
Yo le tiro cuando llega, dónde sea que esté
Si tiene hambre, pa' ti es mucho, guarda pa' después
I like it when you call me "Mami"
I like it when you call me "Mami"
Sigue así, sigue así
Dí mi nombre
I like it when you call me "Mami"
Aah, mami
Aah, mami
Que los do' tengamo' que sudar (ah)
Que bailemo' el ritmo del tra (tra)
Que me haga fuerte suspirar (suspirar)
Pero pa' la cama digo na, na, na
Yo decido lo que va a pasar
Y esta noche no va' a ganar
Tranqui papi, que yo vo'a pagar
La Mami no tiene que charlar, na, na
Voy camino a tu casa, quítame el estrés
Como quieras que lo diga, español o inglés
Yo le tiro cuando llega, dónde sea que esté
Si tiene hambre, pa' ti es mucho, guarda pa' después
I like it when you call me "Mami"
I like it when you call me "Mami"
Sigue así, sigue así
Dí mi nombre
I like it when you call me "Mami"
