NI DE TI NI DE NADIE Lyrics in English by Becky G
Labia is a fantastic piece of Spanish slang that means "sweet talk" or "smooth talk". It refers to the clever, charming, and sometimes deceitful words someone uses to persuade you, similar to having the "gift of gab".
In the song, Becky G warns a potential lover, "no me des labia" (don't give me that sweet talk). She's saying she's wise to his game and won't be fooled by empty flattery, reinforcing the song's theme of fierce independence.
Becky G is not messing around in this song. She makes her intentions crystal clear from the very first line: "Si quieres probar puedo ser tu mejor secreto / Pero no te enamores de mí / Que no me comprometo" (If you want to try, I can be your best secret / But don't fall in love with me / Because I don't commit). This isn't a song about maybe falling in love later; it's a declaration of independence. She's open to having a good time, but that's it. She even has a great, blunt line for when someone tries to change her mind, saying her heart is "Fuera de servicio, lo dejé en mantenimiento" (Out of service, I left it in maintenance).
She repeats the main idea over and over, making sure there's no confusion: "Porque no soy de ti, ni de nadie" (Because I'm not yours, or anyone's). It's a powerful statement about owning her own feelings and choices. She insists that "Nadie elegirá de quién y cuándo enamorarme" (No one will choose who and when I fall in love), putting herself completely in control. The song is a straightforward anthem for anyone who isn't looking for a serious relationship and wants to be upfront about it.
