Dura Lyrics in English Daddy Yankee

Dura is Daddy Yankee’s unstoppable reggaetón shout-out to that person who lights up the whole club the moment they walk in. The Puerto Rican superstar spots an eye-catching woman, and the first word that bursts out is dura—Caribbean Spanish for “gorgeous,” “fierce,” or literally “hard,” as in impossible to ignore. Line after line, he showers her with playful compliments, rating her a “twenty out of ten,” calling her a “dancing machine,” and urging everyone to throw their hands up because her style and confidence just hit another level.

Underneath the flirty wordplay, the song is really an invitation to celebrate self-confidence on the dance floor. Yankee’s rapid-fire praises—her glowing skin, hypnotic moves, and infectious energy—are matched by a beat built for non-stop movement. Whether he compares her allure to Buenos Aires’ fresh air or jokes about “arresting” her beauty, every metaphor points to the same message: own your shine, turn up the music, and let envy stay silent while you steal the show.
