Tumbao [English translation]
Tumbao [English translation]
I ain't walking down the street
Baby, I'm stomping
And I ain't looking down
My eye level's way above sea level
No, I ain't looking to drown
That little white girl who's walking
With her hips moving from side to side
That little white girl who keeps on singing
She's not lost, but I haven't found her
Well, here it is, I'm speaking Spanish
A flower under the sun, I never lose control
He who laughs last, laughs best
Two languages is a value with my own flavor
Add sugar and mix it
Oh baby, oh baby
And when I dance, watch out
Oh baby, oh baby
Well, I ain't changing my style
Oh baby, oh baby
The white girl has Tumbao1
And I don't have to understand myself
I know who I am
I know where I came from
I know where I'm going
You don't have to wait for me
I think from today
My mommy misses me, mommy misses me
And I'll admit, sometimes I miss her times three
It's the same to my brothers and my sisters in Miami
I got Adi, Sidney, Nicki, Val, Vicky and Jerry
I'm sitting here in dirty Jersey
It's 2012, yeah it's Hudson County
But they been coming through
They been loving the Hue3
But I'm still on the boulevard looking at the view
[Chours]
My hand'll be on my hip
Respect my way
of filling my wallet
I'm a little salsa
Singer, perhaps rapper
Rapper, rapper
Hey look, look
Here's your drink
Pure Hennessy and a tequila
The food comes out soon
Gotta go and get it
That always motivates me
I'm not ungrateful
Thirty percent inspires me
I have to fill my life
with what fate requests
A lot of lights, cameras
They always think I'm a diva
A seductive look
I do, let everyone follow me
[Chorus]
Move your body up and down
I want to see you sweat
The white girl has Tumbao
The white girl has Tumbao
