Ella prende las turbina’, no discrimina
No se pierde ni un party de marquesina

Janguea en carros, motoras y limusinas
Llena su tanque de adrenalina

Pa’ las que son más zorras que los cazadore’
Pa’ las mujeres que no apagan sus motore’

Pre-Chorus: Daddy Yankee

I start the mambo so my chicks turn on the engines
I start the mambo so my chicks turn on the engines
I start the mambo so my chicks turn on the engines
So that they prepare for what’s going to hit them
(Hard) Mami, I know that you won’t leave me
(Hard) What I like is that you let yourself go
(Hard) Every weekend, she goes out to have fun
(Hard) My chick doesn’t stop hanging out, ’cause

She likes the gasoline
Give me more gasoline
She loves the gasoline
Givе me more gasoline
Shе likes the gasoline
Give me more gasoline
She loves the gasoline

Verse 1: Daddy Yankee

She turns on the turbines, she doesn’t discriminate
She doesn’t miss even the smallest parties
She gets all dressed up even to go to the street corner
She looks so good that even her shadow matches her
Murderer, she dominates me
She hangs out in cars, motorboats and limousines
She fills up her tank with adrenaline
When she hears reggeaton on the speakers

She likes the gasoline (Oh, oh)
Give me more gasoline (Oh, oh)

Give me more gasoline (Oh)

Here, we are the best, don’t hurry me
On the dancefloor, they call us “the killers”
You make anyone fall in love
When you dance to the rhythm of the drums
This is for all chicks in all colors
For the older ones, for the younger ones
For those who are more bitch than the hunters
For the women who don’t turn off their engines

Bridge: Daddy Yankee

You and I, we have a score to settle
You owe me something and you know it
With me, she loses herself
She is accountable to nobody
You and I, we have a score to settle
You owe me something and you know it
With me, she loses herself
She is accountable to nobody

Pre-Chorus: Daddy Yankee

Chorus: Daddy Yankee & Glory
