Mira lo que se avecina a la vuelta de la esquina
MEE-rah lo keh seh ah-veh-SEE-nah ah lah BWEL-tah deh lah es-KEE-nah
Look who's coming around the corner
Viene Diego rumbeando
BYEH-neh DYEH-go room-beh-AHN-do
Here comes Diego, dancing his way over
Con la luna en las pupilas y su traje agua marina
kon lah LOO-nah en las poo-PEE-lahs ee soo TRAH-heh AH-gwah mah-REE-nah
Moonlight in his eyes, aquamarine suit on
Van restos de contrabando
bahn RES-tos deh kon-trah-BAHN-do
And a little contraband still on him
Y donde más no cabe un alma allí mete a darse caña
ee DON-deh mahs no KAH-beh oon AHL-mah ah-YEE MEH-teh ah DAR-seh KAH-nyah
Wherever the place is packed solid, that's where he squeezes in to go wild
Poseído por el ritmo ragatanga
po-seh-EE-do por el REET-mo rah-gah-TAHN-gah
Possessed by that ragatanga beat
Y el DJ que lo conoce toca el himno de las 12
ee el DEE-jay keh lo ko-NO-seh TO-kah el EEM-no deh lahs DO-seh
And the DJ, who knows him, drops the midnight anthem
Para Diego la canción más deseada
PAH-rah DYEH-go lah kahn-SYOHN mahs deh-seh-AH-dah
For Diego, the song he's been dying for
Y la baila y la goza y la canta
ee lah BYE-lah ee lah GO-sah ee lah KAHN-tah
And he dances it, loves it, sings it
Y aserejé-ja-dejé
ee ah-seh-reh-HEH hah deh-HEH
(Nonsense syllables — a garbled Spanish mishearing of the "I said a hip hop..." opening of "Rapper's Delight." It means nothing in Spanish either.)
