International Love
Pitbull Lyrics

Went from Mr. 305 (Dade County)
Changed his name from Mr. 305 (representing Dade County) to Mr. Worldwide, indicating his global success.

To Mr. Worldwide (all around the word), ayy, ayy
Emphasizing his massive presence and impact all around the world.

Now we're international, so international (oh, yeah)
Stressing global success and popularity.

International (woo) so international
Reiterating the global nature of the song and its themes.

You can't catch me boy (can't catch me boy)
Boasting about his success and ability to continually achieve more.

I am overseas at about a hundred Gs for sure
Confirming how wealthy and successful he is in foreign countries.

Don't test me boy (don't test me boy) 'cause I rap with the best
Warning against doubting his lyrical abilities, insisting he can hang with the best of them.

Fo' sho 305 to the death of me
Swearing loyalty to his beloved Dade County until he dies.

Cremate my body let the ocean have what's left of me
Musing about a hypothetical burial scenario that includes the beauty of the ocean.

But for now forget about that
Coming back to reality after sharing his theoretical musings.

Blow the whistle, baby you're the referee
Referring to the whistle the referee uses in sports games, he uses it to command the attention of a beautiful girl by asking her to be the 'referee of his heart'.

You put it down like New York City, I never sleep
Comparing the girl's style and energy levels to the city that never sleeps, New York.

Wild like Los Angeles, my fantasy (Chris Brown)
Acknowledging that his and Chris Brown's Los Angeles is wild and fantastical, full of possibilities and experiences.

Hotter than Miami, I feel the heat (oh, yeah)
Feeling the heat of the beautiful girl next to him, using Miami to emphasize the point.

Oh, oh, oh, oh (girl it's), it's international love (international)
Reiterating the main theme and title of the song - international love.

I don't play football
Claiming he's not interested in sports.

But I've touched down everywhere (everywhere?) everywhere
Acknowledging his ability to travel ('touch down') all over the world.

I don't play baseball
Claiming he's not interested in sports.

But I've hit a home run everywhere, everywhere
Using a baseball metaphor to describe his romantic successes all around the world.

I've been to countries and cities I can't pronounce
Targeting the audience's imaginations by taking them to faraway lands.

And the places on the globe I didn't know existed
Expressing his sense of wonder and awe about the unknown places he's been to.

In Romania she pulled me to the side
Recalling a memory of a girl approaching him in Romania.

And told me "Pit you can have me and my sister"
Being propositioned by two sisters at once, pushing the limits of his wanderlust lifestyle.

In Lebanon, yeah, the women the bomb
Praising the women of Lebanon for being amazing ('the bomb').

And in Greece you guessed it, the women are sweet
Celebrating the beauty of Greek women.

Been all around the world
Reiterating the point he's been everywhere.

But I ain't gonna lie, there's nothing like Miami's heat (dale)
Having a special place in his heart for Miami despite all his global escapades, using Miami to emphasize life's pleasures.

Down in D.R. they're looking for visa's
Regardless of what people say about traveling, there are still many people looking for visas for foreign travel.

I ain't talking credit cards, if you know what I mean
As with most of Pitbull's lyrics, there's a sexual insinuation here - he's not talking about regular credit cards but instead referring to a girl's physical assets.

En Cuba, la cosa está dura
Cuban life is hard, but the people remain upbeat, accepting of their situation and manage to enjoy life and have fun despite the adversity.

But the woman get down, if you know what I mean
Giving a sexual nod to the women of Cuba, and how they have fun nonetheless.

En Colombia the women got everything done
Colombian women are noted for being independent and capable.

But they're some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen
Noticeably beautiful despite their skills.

In Brazil they're freaky with big ol' boobs
Describing Brazilian women's physical attributes in an exaggerated manner.

And their thongs, blue yellow and green
Describing the beachwear in Brazil, using the colors of the Brazilian flag (blue/yellow/green).

En L.A. tengo la mexicana, en New York tengo la boricua
Having Mexican girl(s) in LA, and Boricua Puerto Rican girl(s) in New York.

Besitos para todas las mujere' en Venezuela, muah
Sending kisses to all the lovely women in Venezuela.

Y en Miami tengo cualquiera
In Miami, he can have anyone he wants, further underscoring how much he loves Miami and its beautiful ladies.

There's not a place that your love don't affect me baby
Reiterating how his love is affected by the places he's been to - tying it to his theme of international love.

So don't ever change
Saying he doesn't want his love's qualities to change.

I cross the globe when I'm with you baby
Suggesting he follows her wherever she goes.

Hey (Chris Brown)
Welcoming Chris Brown.

Oh, whoa (this is for the women worldwide)
Taking time to recognize and celebrate the women around the world.

Let's ride, woo
Rallying the audience to enjoy the ride and his music.

Oh (you're international, so international)
Bringing attention back to the theme of the song and how he loves the international perspective.

Oh (you're international, so international)
Continuing his emphasis on the global perspective of the song.

Oh (you're international, so international)
Reiterating how he loves that the song celebrates the international nature of human relationships.

Whoa whoa oh whoa whoa oh, international love (surrounded by beautiful girls)
Celebrating being surrounded by beautiful women from all around the world who are in love with him.
