Hasta El Amanecer Lyrics in English by Nicky Jam

Amanecer can be both a noun for "dawn" and a verb meaning "to dawn". It's a poetic word often used in Spanish music to describe the magic of a night turning into day.

In the song's chorus, Nicky Jam repeats his desire to "quedarme contigo hasta el amanecer" (stay with you until dawn). This single word captures the entire romantic theme of the song: a connection so strong you want it to last all night until the sun comes up.

This is a classic Reggaeton party track from Puerto Rican star Nicky Jam. The whole story is about seeing someone amazing across the room and wanting to spend the night with them, no questions asked. He's so focused on the moment that he admits right away, "¿Cómo tú te llamas? Yo no sé / ¿De dónde llegaste? Ni pregunté" (What's your name? I don't know / Where did you come from? I didn't even ask).

He's completely mesmerized by her looks and her dancing, calling her "mamacita" and telling her she has the "piel morena, lo que uno necesita" (brown skin, what a man needs). His goal is simple and he's very direct about it: "Lo único que sé, es que quiero con usted / Quedarme contigo hasta el amanecer" (The only thing I know is I want to be with you / Stay with you until dawn). It's a fun, straightforward song about instant attraction and wanting a night of adventure, nothing more complicated than that.
