Chorus 1
Come and hop on the pony on the pony
You look like a stripper on the pole making money
Come and hop on the pony on the pony
To all that cinnabon I'm going to pass the honey
On the machine she mounts, returns and dismounts
If you're hot you're the jockey
On the machine she mounts, returns and dismounts
If you're hot you're the jockey
That you're hood? I want to see it
You get dirty, I want to see it
You say that it bounces, I want to see it
Devil, what abuse of power
I want to touch and not see
Verse 1
Let's go to the danger zone
That those who carry it know who they are
Or: Those who got it know who they are
With me she is another version
She likes the Phillies like Iverson
This is a reference to Allen Iverson, a professional basketball player who was selected by Philadelphia 76ers. But it's also a double meaning, as Phillie can be a slang reference to a cigar or marijuana
To turn you on I have the gift
You arrived raw and you go well-done
If you're thinking, go with Nicky
Or: If you're thinking about it, go with Nicky
That I don't believe in forgiveness
Or: Because I don't believe in forgiveness
With me don't get scared, I don't pull
But I'm going to bombard you without using a stick
The one that you have in your home
They tell me that it went bad
Send me the location
That I download and install it for you
Or: I'll go down and install it for you
Don't go out of focus, don't lose me either
I know that you like sweets and I have coconut kisses
You fell little by little with the owner of the racetrack
Forget about these crazy horses
Chorus 2
Come and hop on the pony on the pony
You look like a stripper on the pole making money
Come and hop on the pony on the pony
To all that cinnabon I'm going to pass the honey
On the machine she mounts, returns and dismounts
If you're hot you're the jockey
On the machine she mounts, returns and dismounts
If you're hot you're the jockey
That you're hood? I want to see it
You get dirty, I want to see it
You say that it bounces, I want to see it
Devil, what abuse of power
I want to touch and not see
Verse 2
Get the flow, get the swing
I go with everything without Robitussin
Robitussin is dry cough medicine
Move that hip, mark that jean
Hard as dumbbell without going to the gym
She has bootie so she's cocky
But not anyone comes and rides it
Ready for the fight, they call me tonka
Because I have more spurs than Tim Duncan
Timothy Theodore Duncan is an American former professional basketball player and coach
If you pressure her, she'll ignore you
If you take it calmly, she'll seduce you
That gangster movie she won't make
Provoke her so that you see, she throws you and fronts you
'Cucar' is a verb meaning 'to wink', 'to provoke', 'to poke fun at'
She has bootie so she's cocky
But not anyone comes and rides it
Ready for the fight, they call me tonka
Because I have more spurs than Tim Duncan
I already caught that Pokemón, your hair is the headstall
Or: I already caught that Pokemón, I'll grab your hair like the jaquimon / headstall
For the jockey I separated the saddle and
Chorus 3
Come and hop on the pony on the pony
You look like a stripper on the pole making money
Come and hop on the pony on the pony
To all that cinnabon I'm going to pass the honey
On the machine she mounts, returns and dismounts
If you're hot you're the jockey
On the machine she mounts, returns and dismounts
If you're hot you're the jockey

SONG MEANING

Daddy Yankee turns the dance floor into a sizzling racetrack in El Pony. Over infectious reggaeton drums, he invites a fearless dancer to “mount the pony,” a cheeky metaphor for jumping onto the beat and showing off hypnotic, sensual moves. The track is loaded with playful horse-racing imagery: the woman becomes the jockey, the club is the hipódromo (racetrack), and Daddy Yankee positions himself as the owner with the spurs. Add in stripper poles, stacks of money, and shout-outs to sports icons like Allen Iverson and Tim Duncan, and you get a high-energy blend of bravado and flirtation that celebrates confidence, rhythm, and pure party adrenaline.

Beneath the flashy wordplay, the message is simple: own your power on the dance floor, ignore the haters, and enjoy the ride. Daddy Yankee praises a woman who controls the spotlight, refuses to be rushed, and plays by her own rules. His rapid-fire references—to Pokémon, Philly blunts, and the “danger zone”—create a whirlwind of pop culture that matches the song’s feverish tempo. In short, El Pony is a bold invitation to let loose, flaunt what you’ve got, and gallop head-first into an unforgettable night of reggaeton fun.
