The duo earned a Latin Grammy in 2010 for Best Urban Album.

CONTENTS SUMMARY
Báilame (Dance For Me)
Róbame
Despacio atrápame
Haz lo que quieras conmigo
Llévame a lo prohibido
Steal me away
Catch me slowly
Do whatever you want with me
Take me to what's forbidden

This song is pure, high-energy reggaeton all about intense physical attraction on the dance floor. Nacho, Yandel, and Bad Bunny are completely captivated by a woman's dancing and her looks. The lyrics are a direct invitation, asking her to take control: "Róbame / Despacio atrápame / Haz lo que quieras conmigo" (Steal me / Slowly catch me / Do what you want with me). They are mesmerized by her body, repeating how her "figura que me atrapa" (figure that traps me) and "curvas que me matan" (curves that kill me) are driving them wild.

The chorus is a list of commands that builds on this desire: "Báilame" (Dance for me), "bésame" (kiss me), "arrópame" (cover me). Bad Bunny's verse adds a playful, confident swagger, comparing her to soccer star Lionel Messi's wife with the line "Otro gol de Messi, tú eres mi Antonella" (Another goal by Messi, you are my Antonella). He even gives a shout-out to Nacho's home country, saying he wants "una baby que sea de Venezuela" (a baby who is from Venezuela). It's a straightforward party track about losing yourself to the music and the moment with someone you can't take your eyes off of.

El Tema (The Song)
Esa mujer me tiene loco y no la culpo
La conocí un atardecer en Acapulco
Yo caminaba solitario y aburrido, triste
Cabizbajo, sin un rumbo fijo
That woman drives me crazy and I don't blame her
I met her at sunset in Acapulco
I was walking lonely and bored, sad
Head down, with no clear direction

Feel the sunset glow of Acapulco, then let it blend with the tropical soul of Venezuela. In “El Tema,” Nacho and Jorge Luis Chacín tell the story of a lonely wanderer who is instantly dazzled by a woman’s beauty. One casual question - “Where are you from?” - ignites a whirlwind romance. The singer’s heartbeat races as he matches her smile to white sands, her charm to a springtime bloom, and her elegance to the gentle flight of a turpial (Venezuela’s national bird). The track captures that electric moment when love strikes out of nowhere, turning an ordinary evening into a postcard-perfect memory.

Beyond the love-at-first-sight spark, the song is a joyful shout-out to Venezuelan pride. Every comparison is a tour of the country’s natural wonders: the towering Salto Ángel waterfall, the golden Médanos dunes, the turquoise archipelagos. By likening her allure to these breathtaking landmarks, the artists celebrate both the woman and their homeland, reminding listeners that Venezuela’s warmth is found not just in its climate but also in its people, its music, and its unstoppable rhythm of love.

Déjalo (Leave It)
Ya te acostumbraste
A que esa persona nunca ponga de su parte
Para comprenderte y mucho menos para darte
Lo que necesitas
You already got used to it
To that person never making an effort
To understand you and even less to give you
What you need

Déjalo is a lively rescue mission set to an irresistible Latin beat. Nacho and Manuel Turizo slip into the role of the caring friend who is secretly in love, urging a woman to break free from a toxic relationship. They spotlight how her current partner never listens, never gives, and happily parades around with other lovers, while she is left feeling lonely. Over vibrant rhythms, the singers promise a fresh start filled with real affection, insisting that if they treat her this well as friends, life together would be even sweeter.

More than just a love confession, the song doubles as an anthem of self-worth and empowerment. The chorus’s repeated call to “déjalo” (“leave him”) is a catchy reminder not to waste any more time on someone who does not value you. With Venezuela and Colombia teaming up, the track blends romantic persuasion, upbeat optimism, and a hint of swagger, all inviting the listener to dance their way toward better choices and brighter love.

Happy Happy
Happy happy
Happy happy happy
Happy happy
Happy happy happy
Happy happy
Happy happy happy
Happy happy
Happy happy happy

Happy Happy is a feel-good love anthem where Venezuelan star Nacho teams up with the energetic trio Los Mendoza to shout their joy from the rooftops. Over a playful, tropical beat, the chorus repeats like a burst of confetti—“Happy happy, happy happy happy”—instantly setting a party mood. The bilingual lyrics mix English lines with fun Spanish expressions, turning the song into a musical hug that crosses languages and cultures.

Beneath the catchy hook, the message is simple and sweet: the singer’s world lights up whenever he thinks of his special someone. He explains that he doesn’t want to “run away” at all; all he really wants is “to hug you once again.” Phrases such as “tú eres mi luz” (you are my light) and quirky images like “I’m the gum to your bati-bati” show a playful devotion, while constant references to her living dentro de mi corazón highlight deep, sincere affection. In short, the track is a vibrant reminder that real love makes you feel—well—happy, happy, happy!

63
Se me olvidó
Que entre nosotros pasó algo malo mami
Sé que fui yo
Estoy dispuesto a recuperarlo
I forgot
That something bad happened between us mommy
I know it was me
I'm willing to get it back

"63" is Nacho asking for a redo. He owns the mistake right away, "Sé que fui yo" ("I know it was me"), and the rest of the song is him trying to talk his way back into the room. "Quiero otra oportunidad" ("I want another chance"), "Para volvértelo a hacer" ("To do it again"), he says it twice more before the first chorus even ends. When he finally spells out the ask, it's blunt: "Dale pal' hotel que te quiero ver" ("Head to the hotel, I want to see you").

The title is the hook itself, "Y el aire en 63" ("And the AC on 63"), room number as invitation. He's already picked out the outfit too: "No lleves tacones" ("Don't wear heels"), "Mami ponte Nike" ("Baby, put on Nikes"), because comfort matters more than dressing up for this one. The guest verses toward the end, Saga WhiteBlack and F Santofimio trading names and slang over the beat, aren't trying to say anything deeper. They're just there to keep the party going after the point has already been made.

Dame Una Noche [Remix] (Give Me A Night [Remix])
Dices que no vas a enamorarte
Que de amor ya nadie puede hablarte
Que otra vez
Tú no vuelves a caer
You say you're not going to fall in love
That no one can talk to you about love anymore
That again
You don't fall again

Have you ever been so afraid of getting your heart broken that you decide to give up on love completely? That's the story at the center of this song. The singer is talking to a woman who has sworn off romance, telling herself she won't fall in love or risk her feelings again because she's scared of losing.

Instead of giving up, the singer makes a passionate plea. He asks for just one night to prove he's different. He promises to love her like no one ever has and to be the one who makes her heart race. With confident lines like, "I will completely change your destiny" and "I'm going to fill your heart, I'm going to flood it," he tries to convince her that a single night with him will be an unforgettable experience, like fireworks going off.

Alabaré (I Will Praise)
Este es un junte de Venezuela
Puerto Rico
Y la República Dominicana
Padre tú que desde el Cielo me miras
This is a collab from Venezuela
Puerto Rico
And the Dominican Republic
Father, you that watch me from Heaven

"Este es un junte de Venezuela" [This is a collab from Venezuela] — Nacho opens the song by naming the deal outright: a joint effort crediting Puerto Rico's Redimi2 and the Dominican Republic's Alex Zurdo before the song even gets to what it's actually about. Three countries, one hook, no metaphor needed.

What it's about is confession and a fresh start. The verses talk straight to God as a father watching from heaven, and the singer admits he keeps doing what he wants instead of what's asked: "Yo ando lo que yo quiera" [I do whatever I want]. The chorus is the turn — a repeated vow rather than a plea: "Alabaré tu nombre yo lo alabaré" [I will praise your name, I will praise it]. And the line right after it says what the praise is actually buying: "Con el perdón que me has dado" [With the forgiveness that you have given me].

Perro Mujeriego (Womanizing Dog)
Hey, nueva vida, nueva música (Nacho)
Tamo' todo nuevo, brillando como los luceros
Muchas veces fallando se aprende
Soplando, se enciende una llama
Hey, new life, new music (Nacho)
Tamo' all new, shining like the lights
Many times failing you learn
Blowing, a flame is lit

Nacho's "Perro Mujeriego" is a really fun and honest look at a guy who's been a bit of a player, but now he's found someone special and he's ready to change. He starts by saying, "Muchas veces fallando se aprende" [Many times failing, one learns], which sets the tone for his journey. He admits, "Si, voy a aceptar que soy un perro mujeriego" [Yes, I'm going to accept that I'm a womanizing dog], but immediately follows it with, "Que conoció el amor y lo quiere a su lado hasta viejos" [Who met love and wants her by his side until they're old].

It's cool how he acknowledges his past reputation, saying he has "fama de aventurero" [a reputation as an adventurer], but he's got his "mente en la nube y los pies en el suelo" [mind in the clouds and feet on the ground]. He even throws in some English, saying, "Soy mujeriego y te lo digo To the face / Aunque suene outta place / But you came to me by holy grace / Now I feel you're the sun of my days." He's basically saying, 'Yeah, I was a player, but you're different.' He's ready to leave behind "la disco, de la hookah y botelleo y el bling bling" [the club, the hookah, the bottle service and the bling bling] for this new love, even if it means moving to Beijing! It's a sweet and catchy song about finding true love and being willing to change for it.

Sagrado Decreto (Sacred Decree)
Amor querido hoy día que ha pasado el tiempo amándonos
Muy contentos y sin causarnos heridas
Pienso que ya, es oportuno el momento
De profundizar lo nuestro y fusionar nuestras vidas
Love dear today that has passed the time loving us
Very happy and without causing us injuries
I think that now, the moment is opportune
To deepen what is ours and merge our lives

Nacho's "Sagrado Decreto" is such a sweet and heartfelt proposal song! It's all about a guy who has clearly thought long and hard about taking the next step with his girlfriend. He talks about how happy they've been, without causing each other pain, and how she's given him her heart without limits. He even mentions having a ring, saying, "Tengo una prenda ansiosa de tu anular" [I have a jewel eager for your ring finger] – how cute is that?

He's ready to make things official, promising a modest life and unwavering love. He even says, "Me comprometo a dar lo mejor de mí, Arriesgo todo por ti" [I commit to giving my best, I risk everything for you]. It's clear he sees their relationship as something truly special and destined, a "sagrado decreto" [sacred decree] from God. It's a beautiful declaration of love and commitment, full of respect and a little bit of playful anticipation for their future together.

Enemigos (Enemies)
¿Pa' qué me buscas?
Si sabes que soy todo lo opuesto a lo que te gusta
Quiero seguir y por ti no puedo, no seas tan injusta
Tú me escribes un 'Te extraño' y me tiene' (me tiene')
What are you looking for?
If you know I'm the opposite of what you like
I want to continue and for you I can't, don't be so unfair
You write me a 'I miss you' and he has me' (he has me')

This song is Nacho saying: “Why are you playing with me like this?” He’s talking to someone who keeps pulling him close and then dropping him whenever they feel like it. When he sings “Tú me escribes un 'Te extraño' y me tiene' / Me levantas y me sueltas cuando quieres” [“You text me ‘I miss you’ and you’ve got me / You lift me up and let me go whenever you want”], you can feel how hooked he still is, even though he knows it is unfair. He sees that this “love” is more like a game that entertains the other person, not something they are taking seriously.

Things get even harsher when everything changes overnight. “Y de repente, de un día pa' otro / Con otra gente subiste fotos” [“And suddenly, from one day to the next / You posted photos with other people”] hits like that moment you open social media and realize you got replaced. He thought it was love knocking on his door, but now he realizes “Que estás usándome” [“That you’re using me”]. The song is about that painful flip from “nosotros” [“us”] to “ustedes” [“you two”], from lovers to what he bluntly calls “enemigos” [“enemies”]. All those promises about waking up together forever and growing old as a couple just vanish, and he is left saying: this double game is over, I am not accepting it anymore.

La Mitad (The Half)
Te llamé
Porque acabo de entender
Que no todas me las sé
En tus zapatos me puse y caminé
I called you
Because I just understood
That I don't all know
In your shoes I stood and walked

Have you ever been in a relationship where you just can't see eye to eye? Nacho, with Mike Bahía and Carlos Vives, totally gets it in "La Mitad" [The Half]! This song is all about finding that middle ground when you and your partner are stuck in a disagreement.

Nacho kicks it off by admitting he's not always right, singing, "Te llamé porque acabo de entender que no todas me las sé" [I called you because I just understood that I don't know everything]. He even says he put himself "en tus zapatos y caminé y tropecé" [in your shoes and walked and stumbled], realizing how tough he must have been! The whole point is to meet each other halfway. As the chorus says, "Yo te espero en la mitad, tu razón y mi verdad. El amor es una tregua, nadie tiene que ganar" [I'll wait for you in the middle, your reason and my truth. Love is a truce, nobody has to win]. It's a call for understanding, preferring friendship over constant conflict, even in love. Carlos Vives jumps in to remind us that despite our differences, there's so much we share, like "El mismo sol ardiente que besa tu boca" [The same burning sun that kisses your mouth]. It's a beautiful message about compromise and choosing peace in a relationship. So good!

Saco De Boxeo (Punching Bag)
Yo te vi como una persona inalcanzable
Hasta me parecías admirable
'Til the day en que yo te conocí
No entiendo por qué eres tan torpe
I saw you as an unattainable person
I even found it admirable
'Til the day I met you
I don't understand why you are so clumsy

Have you ever been completely blindsided by someone you admired? Nacho and Arcángel team up in "Saco De Boxeo" to tell the story of a relationship where one person felt like a prize, and the other felt like a punching bag.

Nacho kicks things off, admitting he once saw this person as "inalcanzable" [unreachable] and even "admirable" [admirable]. But that all changed when he got to know them. He quickly realized they were "un poquito inestable" [a little unstable] and felt "miserable" [miserable] inside, which led them to constantly lie and lash out. The core of the song is the repeated line, "Usándome de saco de boxeo" [Using me as a punching bag], where the other person hits him with lies. He saw them as "un trofeo" [a trophy], but they saw him as a punching bag. Arcángel jumps in, emphasizing how much he gave to this person, even leaving "la calle" [the streets] for them. He describes the relationship as "macabra" [macabre] and full of "amarguras" [bitterness]. Despite being constantly hit with lies, he's done fighting back, choosing to "esquivo y te bloqueo" [dodge and block] instead. It's a powerful song about realizing you're in a toxic cycle and choosing to step out of the ring.

Antivirus
Chino & Nacho, baby
Otra vez tu dúo favorito
Yo sabía que era una locura
Esa relación que yo tenía
Chino & Nacho, baby
Again your favorite duo
I knew it was crazy
That relationship I had

Get ready to groove with Nacho and Chyno Miranda's "Antivirus"! This song is all about escaping a super toxic relationship and finding new life with someone amazing. Our singer was in a bad place, feeling "preso sin cadenas" [imprisoned without chains] and describing his ex as "más tóxica que Chernobyl" [more toxic than Chernobyl] and even "Maléfica de corazón, malo y perdido" [Maleficent with a bad and lost heart]. Yikes!

But then, like a ray of sunshine, someone new came along and changed everything! This new person is the "luz" [light] to the ex's "sombra" [shadow], taking him "hasta la luna" [to the moon]. It's a total transformation, like finding an "antivirus" for a really bad bug. He even says, "En cambio tú me das vida, porque yo no tenía vida" [Instead, you give me life, because I didn't have life]. It's a fun, energetic celebration of moving on and finding true happiness!

Mambo A Los Haters (Mambo To The Haters)
(Fuego, yeh)
(Nacho, yeh)
(Yeh, eh)
Cú-cú-cú-cú-cú-cúrate
(Fire, yeh)
(Nacho, yeh)
(Yeh, huh)
Cú-cú-cú-cú-cú-cú-cúrate

Nacho and Fuego team up for "Mambo A Los Haters," a super fun track all about shutting down the negativity! The song kicks off with some solid advice: "Cú-cú-cú-cú-cú-cúrate / De la locura cúrate / Antes de hablar de otro / En un espejo mírate" [Heal, heal from the madness, before talking about others, look in a mirror]. It's a call to self-reflection and staying out of gossip. Nacho even says he made this song for the haters so they don't feel alone, knowing they'll probably just comment the same stupid things anyway. He talks about how he's been let down by people, giving his hand and getting an elbow in return, and how some people just can't stand to see others happy.

This song is a direct message to those who are bothered by other people's success. Nacho and Fuego are basically saying, "Why are you like this?" They're living their best lives, with lines like "En miami en jet ski / Con una baby / Que la traje de baní" [In Miami on a jet ski, with a baby I brought from Baní], and they've got the money and the checks. They know the haters don't want them to win, but they already have! It's a confident, upbeat anthem telling critics to back off and let them enjoy their success. Maffio's mambo beat just makes you want to dance away all the bad vibes!

Emborráchate (Get Drunk)
Ah
No-No-Noriel
'La criatura', bebé
Esta noche hay rumba
Ah
No-No-Noriel
'The creature', baby
Tonight there is rumba

Get ready to dance with Nacho and Noriel's "Emborráchate"! This song is all about letting loose and having a good time on the dance floor. The artists are encouraging someone to forget their worries, especially a past relationship, and just enjoy the moment.

The lyrics are pretty direct, with lines like "Las ganas que tienes de bailar no te las lleves pa' la tumba" [Don't take the desire you have to dance to your grave] and "El amor, eso ya no se usa" [Love, that's not used anymore]. It's a playful invitation to use a little alcohol as an excuse to let go and give in to the fun, as they sing, "Emborráchate, eh / Así puedes tener una excusa / De por qué te gusté" [Get drunk, eh / That way you can have an excuse / For why you liked me]. They even suggest, "Si tu novio te llama, pichéale / Invéntate una excusa y emborráchate" [If your boyfriend calls you, blow him off / Invent an excuse and get drunk]. It's a fun, carefree track that's perfect for a night out!

Romance
Baby, tu piel me provoca
Nena, tú me haces sentir
Que quieres un whisky a las rocas de tu boca para mí
Baby, tu cuerpo me aloca
Baby, your skin provokes me
Baby, you make me feel
That you want a whiskey to the rocks of your mouth for me
Baby, your body drives me crazy

Nacho and Justin Quiles team up for "Romance," a song that's all about enjoying the moment without any strings attached. The guys are pretty direct, saying things like "Ya yo no quiero romances" [I don't want romances anymore] and "Si tú andas buscando amor, eso esta fuera 'e mi alcance" [If you're looking for love, that's out of my reach]. They're not trying to be mean, just honest about not wanting a serious relationship.

They're really into the physical connection, with lines like "Baby, tu piel me provoca" [Baby, your skin provokes me] and "Quiero quitarte la ropa y que seas sola para mí" [I want to take off your clothes and have you just for me]. It's clear they want to have fun and keep things light, even saying "Que mañana me olvides es lo que quiero" [I want you to forget me tomorrow]. It's a blunt but catchy track about living in the now and avoiding the drama of romance.

Teddy
Hoy me dio por escribirle una canción de esos momentos
En los que estamos desnudos
Tu y yo haciéndonos uno
Baby dándote duro
Today I decided to write a song about those moments
where we are naked
You and me becoming one
baby giving you hard

Nacho and Kevin Roldan team up for "Teddy," a song that's all about intense passion and desire. The lyrics are pretty direct, describing a powerful connection between two people. Nacho starts by saying, "Hoy me dio por escribirle una canción de esos momentos / En los que estamos desnudos / Tu y yo haciéndonos uno / baby dándote duro" [Today I felt like writing a song about those moments / When we are naked / You and I becoming one / baby giving it to you hard]. It's clear they're talking about a very physical and intimate relationship.

The song keeps coming back to the idea of wanting to relive those moments, with lines like "Quiero darte como aquella vez te di" [I want to give it to you like that time I gave it to you]. Kevin Roldan jumps in with some pretty bold claims, saying he was in the room for three days and wrote "mala letra en tu piel" [bad lyrics on your skin]. He even mentions being "El favorito de tu novia, de tu mujer, de tus fans" [Your girlfriend's, your wife's, your fans' favorite]. It's a fun, confident, and very sensual track about being completely consumed by someone.

Dímelo Shorty (Tell Me Shorty)
Projection 61
Son Jowell y Randy
Blo-blo-blo-blow-blow
Se te nota por encima que ya no eres una niña, tú sabes
Projection 61
It's Jowell and Randy
Blo-blo-blo-blow-blow
You can tell above that you are no longer a girl, you know

Nacho, with Jowell & Randy, brings us a track that's all about that undeniable glow of someone who's blossomed beyond their teenage years. The song is a playful and admiring look at a woman who exudes confidence and maturity. The artists can't help but notice her self-assuredness, singing, "Se te nota por encima que ya no eres una niña" [It shows all over you that you're no longer a girl] and "Me lo dijo tu autoestima y tu body" [Your self-esteem and your body told me].

They're so captivated by her grown-up vibe that the main question on their minds is, "¿Cuál es tu edad?" [What is your age?]. They joke about her being a "danger" despite her quiet demeanor and even compare her powers to the Avengers! It's clear they see her as the absolute favorite, the one who stands out from the crowd, making this song a fun and flirtatious ode to her captivating presence.
