Pure reggaeton classic

Tell me, baby

What a chimba, SOG

Rear

I'm making money to have better days (Okey)

Problems in the neighborhood, Hail Mary (haha)

A call to the bandits', not to the police

I have an angel who guides me and who takes care of me (prr, prr, prr)

If I don't catch you,' it's because you're hiding' (hey)

She moves the body to the sound of the battery (how rich)

I had a sugar daddy, but the baby is mine (ah, you can see)

Secretly because no one trusts

We danced and fell in love (what a chimba, SOG)

'We're leaving,' she told me (yeah, yeah)

Tenemo' the street in control

De los tiempo' that reggaetón began

Bandolero', pistols (yeah), popper and blunt

If your friends like to dance pegao'

Perreíto' at home, the carro' blindao'

Mera, chimba, se me pegó (tra, tra)

I don't let her dance alone

With my footprint dawned (tra, tra)

The má' mamacita 'e the area

I don't know what she has (I don't know)

That snatches me (obvious)

That kills me (pu-pu-pu!)

We danced and fell in love (tra)

'We're leaving,' she told me (because no one trusts)

We danced and he fell in love (pu-pu-pu!)

'We're leaving,' she told me (what a chimba, SOG)

Mera, chimba, se me pegó (tra, tra)

I don't let her dance alone (yeah)

With my footprint dawned (tra, tra)

La má' mamacita 'e la zon

Zaga zaga zaga zau

In combination with SOG

Ryan Castro, baby

He is the singer of the ghe-ghe-ghe-ghe-

(We danced and fell in love) yeah, man

(A call to the bandits', not to the police

I have an angel who guides me and who takes care of me)

avemaría — Hail Mary

Avemaría literally translates to "Hail Mary," a traditional Catholic prayer. However, in this reggaetón context, it's used as an exclamation of surprise, concern, or even exasperation, similar to saying "Oh my God" or "Good heavens" in English.

Ryan Castro uses it to express the gravity of "Problemas en el barrio, avemaría" (Problems in the neighborhood, avemaría), highlighting the intensity of the situation. It's an interesting blend of a religious phrase used in a very secular, street-smart way, making it memorable and culturally rich.

Get ready for a classic reggaetón track! In "Avemaría," Colombian artist Ryan Castro paints a picture of life in the barrio (neighborhood). He talks about making money for a better future while dealing with street problems, exclaiming "avemaría"—a common Colombian phrase similar to "Oh my God!". The lyrics suggest a world where you call on your friends (bandidos), not the police, and rely on a guardian angel to watch over you.

But it's not all serious! The song quickly shifts to the dance floor, where he meets a captivating woman. She moves to the beat of the drums, and they share an instant connection while dancing. He boasts that she's with him now, and they keep their relationship secret because she doesn't trust anyone. It's a story of street life, ambition, and a fiery romance that starts with a simple dance.
