GET DOWN Lyrics in English Black Eyed Peas , Nicky Jam
Estadía translates to "stay" or "sojourn". While it can refer to a period of time spent somewhere, it's not a word commonly heard in everyday conversation or pop songs, making it stand out.
In the context of the song, the lyrics "Tu cuerpo una estadía, yo quiero ser tu guest" (Your body a stay, I want to be your guest) use estadía in a suggestive and playful way. It implies a desire for an intimate and temporary, yet memorable, presence, adding a layer of intrigue to the lyrics.
"GET DOWN" is a night out turned into a song. Nicky Jam opens it in Spanish, talking straight to someone he has noticed across the room, and the Black Eyed Peas answer with the English hook that gives the track its name.
The Spanish opening verse is pure flirtation. He asks for the green light, tells her the night is made for this, and says her body is a place he would like to be a guest. The language is playful and a little cheeky rather than serious, which is why the song keeps switching between Spanish and English. The two languages pass the same idea back and forth.
From the chorus onward the song is about the dancing itself. "Let's get down" and "break it down" are both invitations to the floor, repeated until they feel less like words and more like a beat. In between, will.i.am and the group stack up compliments and boasts in the same breath, calling her a queen with a crown one moment and bragging about being el jefe the next.
The closing lines step back from the party and point at the album it comes from. The group sings about falling up instead of down, keeping things on a higher level, and being known for elevation wherever the listener happens to be. It is a nice turn for a song that spends most of its time asking people to get low.
