Ataduras literally translates to 'ties' or 'bindings' and comes from the verb atar (to tie).
In the lyrics, the singer tells his love interest "Tú no tienes ataduras", which metaphorically means she has no strings attached and isn't tied down to anyone. It is a highly expressive word used to describe total freedom and independence, making it a great addition to your Spanish vocabulary.
This song is a total party anthem about being completely obsessed with someone. J Balvin kicks things off by saying he's going crazy for a woman he just can't forget, singing, "Tú me tienes loco, loco contigo" (You have me crazy, crazy for you). He's completely captivated by her, admiring everything from her "cintura chiquita" (small waist) to the way she dances, which he compares hilariously to shaking "como la avena de abuela" (like grandma's oatmeal). He even jokes that her designer must not have wanted to spend much on fabric because her clothes are so revealing.
Tyga jumps in with his English verse, keeping the same high-energy, flirtatious mood. He promises her and her friends expensive watches and makes it clear he's the guy "girls wanna have fun" with. He calls her an "art piece" with a "new body" and declares himself "saucy" to match her salsa style. The whole track is a fun, straightforward celebration of attraction, mixing Spanish and English over a beat from French producer DJ Snake that just makes you want to dance. It's all about that one person who drives you wild on the dance floor.
