Si la toco es sandunga
Perrea, gyal, métele
Con su nota
Se calientan

Si las toca' en la pista se calientan
La pasión del reggae hace que se muevan
Su cuerpo les pide más y se pegan

Las mujeres nunca paran, paran

Si las toca' en la pista se calientan
La pasión del reggae hace que se muevan
Su cuerpo les pide más y se pegan
Las mujeres nunca paran, paran

No te canses, sigue bailando
No te canses, sigue bailando
No te canses, sigue bailando
La gata está perreando, gyal métele

No te canses, sigue bailando
No te canses, sigue bailando
No te canses, sigue bailando
La gata, la gata

La gata quiere sandunga, dunga, sandunga
Busca el Kamasutra, vámono' al mambo, zumba
Y si te pones fresca hasta que amanezca
Voy a estar dándote yesca
Gyal, no te pongas changa debajo 'e esa tanga
Tú eres brava, aguanta
Te pones bien bella, ves las estrellas
Hay que darle lo de ella

No te canses, sigue bailando
No te canses, sigue bailando
No te canses, sigue bailando
La gata está perreando, gyal métele

Coge pa' que sientas, toma pa' que sientas (ah)
Mira a ver, mira a ver tú donde la encuentras

Tú quieres sentir la pasión, pues perréame
Tú quieres sentir to' lo mío, perréame
Tú quieres sentirte mujer, pues perréame
Perréame, gyal, perréame
