Degenere Lyrics in English by Myke Towers, benny blanco
Degenere is a powerful slang term used as a noun in this song to mean "a wild party," "chaos," or "getting crazy." It comes from the verb degenerar, which means "to degenerate," but in this party context, it takes on a more fun and rebellious meaning.
Myke Towers sings, "Y formemo' el degenere," which translates to "And let's start the wild party" or "Let's cause some chaos." It perfectly captures the song's theme of letting loose and having an unforgettably wild night.
Myke Towers sets the scene in a club so packed that "a la disco ya no le cabe un alma" [the club can't fit another soul]. He spots a woman who is clearly the life of the party. He's direct about what he sees in her, singing, "Por tu cara sé que quieres" [By your face I know you want to] and that she has plenty of options with both men and women: "Tú tienes hombres de más / También te gustan las mujeres" [You have too many men / You also like women].
This isn't a love song; it's a celebration of letting loose after a breakup. Towers notes that for her, "ya las heridas no le duelen" [the wounds don't hurt anymore] and reminds her that "por amor nadie se muere" [nobody dies for love]. His solution? To bring her alcohol "pa' que se rebele" [so she can rebel] and together they can create a "degenere," which is slang for a wild party or a complete mess. It's all about a fun, chaotic night with no strings attached.
