Translator notes

Some mistakes may be present in the lyrics and, by extension, in the translation. There is no proper version of the lyrics available. However, it must be said that I doubt the mistakes are on my side, as it seems more likely that the person who wrote the lyrics doesn’t have a good grasp of the Spanish language. Most of the Spanish used in this song is actually quite poor. It could be attributed to the American connection of the artists, but I would question this. While I was born and raised in Spain, I often converse with American friends and I have never heard any of them speak Spanish in this manner. I don’t know what else to say, except that I did my best to translate it as requested for our blog.

English subtitled music video

Original:

I wanna work it, work it, and work it, my girl.
Kiss it, kiss it, and kiss it, and tell.
Tripping, tripping like me under a spell.
My Naomi Campbell.
Bella twerking, twerking, twerk, twerking, twerking.
Killing, killing, and killing, killing.
Make it pop so hard from ceiling to floor.
My girl wants more.

Baby, call me on momento, pérate en el movimiento.
Bailando lento, dame lo lento.
Yeah, you wanna bet it’s a la llaga.
Te vuelvo loca toda hora, hora.
I wanna feel you mientras tú me ves bailar.
Y bajo la luna por la noche.
Sube el volumen, agua en el aura.
Quiere en el pollo, lo ni le.
Tú pon el ritmo que es on fire.
Bajo la luna por la noche.
Sube el volumen, agua en el aura.
Bajo la luna por la noche.
Set it on fire.

Girl, killa me, killa me, killa me, killa me dead.
Follow me, follow me, the gospel we spread.
Uptown lover, we paint the town red.
We love twisted like dread.
And so I give it hard like the Thrilla in Manila.
Big things grow and we run it Godzilla.
Never separate like music and Coachella.
Don’t know me for real.

I wanna see you, dime si lo quieres ya.
I’m telling the truth, sé lo que puedo, puedo dar.
Yeah, you wanna bet it’s a la llaga.
Te vuelvo loca toda hora, hora.
I wanna feel you mientras tú me ves bailar.
Y bajo la luna por la noche.
Sube el volumen, agua en el aura.
Quiere en el pollo, lo ni le.
Tú pon el ritmo que es on fire.
Bajo la luna por la noche.
Sube el volumen, agua en el aura.
Bajo la luna por la noche.
Set it on fire.

Higher, por la música, higher.
Porque estoy on fire, por la música, higher, higher.
Girl, killa me, killa me, killa me, killa me dead.
Follow me, follow me, the gospel we spread.
Killa me, killa me, killa me, killa me dead.
Down low, baby, we’re low.
Y bajo la luna por la noche.
Sube el volumen, agua en el aura.
Quiere en el pollo, lo ni le.
Tú pon el ritmo que es on fire.
Bajo la luna por la noche.
Sube el volumen, agua en el aura.
Bajo la luna por la noche.
And I set it on fire.

My Naomi Campbell.
My sweetheart is twerking, twerking, twerk, twerking, twerking.
Killing, killing, and killing, killing.
Make it pop so hard from ceiling to floor.
My girl wants more.

Baby, call me in the moment,
wait for me in the movement.
Dancing slow, give me the slow.
Yeah, you wanna bet it’s a sore spot.
I drive you crazy all the time, time.
I wanna feel you while you watch me dance.
And under the moon at night.
Turn up the volume, water in the aura.
Wants in the chicken, you know what I mean.
You set the rhythm that’s on fire.
Under the moon at night.
Turn up the volume, water in the aura.
Under the moon at night.
Set it on fire.

Big things grow and we run it Godzilla.
Never separate like music and Coachella.
Don’t know me for real.

I wanna see you, tell me if you want it now.
I’m telling the truth, I know what I can give.
Yeah, you wanna bet it’s a sore spot.
I drive you crazy all the time, time.
I wanna feel you while you watch me dance.
And under the moon at night.
Turn up the volume, water in the aura.
Wants in the chicken, you know what I mean.
You set the rhythm that’s on fire.

Because I’m on fire,
for the music, higher, higher.
