Le Queda Bailando Lyrics in English by El Alfa
Cotorra literally means 'parrot' or 'chatterbox'. However, in Dominican slang, it's also a vulgar term for 'vagina'.
In this song, El Alfa uses cotorra with its explicit, slang meaning, as evidenced by the line "Dile a tú jeva que aprenda a mamar-mar-mar-mar" (Tell your girl to learn to suck). This double meaning makes it a very interesting and memorable word, showcasing the raw and often explicit nature of some reggaeton lyrics.
El Alfa builds the whole record out of one taunt. The hook — "Después que yo le di a tú novio, le queda bailando" ("After I got to your boyfriend, all he's got left is dancing") — lands twice, and then "Le queda bailando" ("he's left dancing") comes back on its own three more times, until the phrase stops working as an insult and turns into another layer of the dembow riddim.
The verses are a shrug wrapped around a flex. "No son responsables de la cartera, no son responsables de la cadera" ("They're not responsible for the purse, they're not responsible for the hips") reads like the small print on a club flyer, and "Yo ando con un coro de quince cuera, están encuera en el Panamera" ("I roll with a crew of fifteen girls, and they're naked in the Panamera") is what the small print is there for. Then it resets to the hook. The track runs 2:38, and the same sentence takes up a good half of it.
