Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody knows this right here
Your mother, your father, yous sister, your brother
Abuela y abuelo, everybody sing along
Latino
Mami el negro, Cubano
Mami el negro, PuertorriqueΓ±o
Mami el negro, Dominicano
Mami el negro, Mexicano

Mami el negro esta rabioso
El quiere tu azucar, y tu no se lo das
Esa morena esta sabrosa
Y cuando tu la tocas, ella se vuelve loca
Mami el negro esta rabioso
El quiere tu azucar, y tu no se lo das
Esa morena esta sabrosa
Y cuando tu la tocas, ella se vuelve loca
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)

Let's go
Hey hey, baby give it to me, don't play-play
She was like ok-k-k
Started clapping her ass like ay bey bey, ay bey bey, ay bey bey
She told me that her mom is Latin, her dad Asian
Abuela esta loca, abuelos Hatian
Y yo soy Cubano and I'm impatient
So do me a favor, lets skip conversation
I just wanna taste you ASAP
Take you ASAP to the room ASAP
Zoom zoom ASAP boom boom take that
Oh, I like that
When you fight that

Mami el negro esta rabioso
El quiere tu azucar, y tu no se lo das
Esa morena esta sabrosa
Y cuando tu la tocas, ella se vuelve loca
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)

See you with your heels, sexy ass shirt
I see you with your man
You threw me a smirk
You see me with your girls
You started to flirt
Back of the club, hand up her skirt
Hand full of ass
I'm trying to hold on
Girls gone wild all night long
She had no bra and no thong
One more shot
Baby it's on
She's a wild thing
And she loves to do wild things
So we did the wild thing
I'm a freak but I ain't gon' lie
That thing was fire man, everybody say

Mami el negro esta rabioso
El quiere tu azucar, y tu no se lo das
Esa morena esta sabrosa
Y cuando tu la tocas, ella se vuelve loca
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)

Get nasty, get freaky, you sexy, you fine
Get nasty, get freaky, you sexy, you fine
Go go go go girl
Go go go girl
Go go go girl
Go go go girl
Shake your ass to the beat, shake your ass to the beat
Shake your ass to the beat, shake your ass to the beat

Mami el negro esta rabioso
El quiere tu azucar, y tu no se lo das
Esa morena esta sabrosa
Y cuando tu la tocas, ella se vuelve loca
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)
Take it to the floor now

Yo te doy lo tuyo
Ahora, dame lo mio
Yo te doy lo tuyo
Ahora, dame lo mio
Yo te doy lo tuyo
Ahora, dame lo mio (let's go now)
Yo te doy lo tuyo




Ahora, dame lo mio
Hey hey hey

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pitbull and Lil Jon's song The Anthem are all about having a good time and dancing to the beat. The song starts with the phrase "Everybody knows this right here" indicating that the song is a recognized party classic and carries a universal appeal. The phrase "Mami el negro esta rabioso" means "The black man is angry" in English, but in this context, it refers to the character Pitbull is portraying. He wants the girl's "azucar" or sugar, but she is not giving it to him. The lyric "Y cuando tu la tocas ella se vuelve loca" means "When you touch her, she becomes crazy," indicating the woman's desire for intimacy.


The rest of the song is focused on getting the audience to dance and have a good time. Pitbull mentions the girl's mixed heritage and how impatient he is to get with her. The phrase "Dale dale loca" means "go ahead, crazy," which is encouraging the girl to let loose and enjoy the moment. The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "Mami el negro esta rabioso..." which serves as a signature line in the song. The song finally ends with a call to the audience to get nasty and freaky, letting their bodies move to the beat.
