Give me a shot in the chest, woman
Come on, babe, don't keep that bullet
A shot in the chest, woman
Hot babe, don't keep that bullet
Shoot without fear
To the center of my soul
A sure shot, baby
I wait calmly
With malice
With viciousness
Don't have mercy, my life
With my feelings
Give me a shot in the chest, woman
Little babe, don't keep that bullet
A shot in the chest, woman
Hey black babe, don't keep that bullet
Shoot me in the chest
Kill me with love
And put that bullet, mama
In my heart
Look at me head-on
Look me in the eyes
I want slowly, mama
To yield to your whim
Give me a shot in the chest, woman
Hey black babe, don't keep that bullet
A shot in the chest, woman
Oh no no
Don't keep the bullet
Don't keep the bullet and aim well at me
My chest is the target
Come shoot me
Shoot, shoot
That I'll endure
And if the shot misses, woman
Shoot again
And give me a shot in the chest, woman
Oh hot babe, don't keep that bullet
A shot in the chest, woman
That no no no no, that you don't keep that bullet
Come on, don't keep that bullet from me
Draw, but aim at the target
Come on, don't keep that bullet from me
Oh fire, but shoot me point-blank
Come on, don't keep that bullet from me
From Santo Domingo, I'm going to Havana
So that you shoot me straight at the target
Gilberto Santa Rosa
Look, Juan de Dios
Watch out for a shot in the chest, that hurts
Look at him again
Come on, don't keep that bullet from me
Shoot again if you miss
Come on, don't keep that bullet from me
And don't forget that my chest is your target
Come on, don't keep that bullet from me
Take your time, I wait calmly
Come on, don't keep that bullet from me
Water on guard, I feel a shot

SONG MEANING

Johnny Ventura joins forces with Gilberto Santa Rosa to turn what sounds like a perilous request into a cheeky, tropical love challenge. The “bullet” in La Bala is not made of lead, but of fiery passion: both crooners dare their partner to shoot straight at their chests and finish them off with unrestrained affection. Layered over an energetic blend of merengue and salsa, the lyrics flip a life-or-death scenario into a playful invitation to love without fear or restraint.

Every “dame un tiro en el pecho” is a vow of total surrender. By offering their hearts as the target, the singers claim that holding back hurts more than the strike itself. Love becomes a lively Caribbean duel, complete with bravado, humor, and irresistible rhythm, where true victory lies in loading up on emotion, taking perfect aim, and firing away until the dance floor—and the heart—explode with feeling.
