Hielo Lyrics in English Daddy Yankee

Home / Lyrics Translation / Daddy Yankee / Hielo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hielo by Daddy Yankee from Spanish to English.

Chorus 1

They've told you a thousand things about me

They weren't wrong, they spoke to you straight

But if you want to win my heart

It has a downside, I'll speak to you straight

I am ice, ice, ice

Verse 1

They said that at the precinct

They have a photo with my name

Because a good man disappeared

I killed that past

The chicks never go to the pool

Verse 1

My carport looks like NASA

I rent love without tipping

I changed for the power of a vagina

I am not for you, you are not for me, you don't fit in my king

In the game of checkers, when one calls me I make her my queen

From everything I have lived I already learned

The reality is that in the world we live like this

Bridge

They want the bad guy

They hate the good guy

I stopped being a remedy

Now I am poison

They want the bad guy

They hate the good guy

I have my feelings below zero

Chorus 2

They've told you a thousand things about me

They weren't wrong, they spoke to you straight

But if you want to win my heart

It has a downside, I'll speak to you straight

I am ice, ice, ice

Verse 2

I don't believe in sad little faces, and I'm raw like New York City

You treat them first class and they take off like Speedy

What doesn't kill you makes you colder and crueler

Lend me your heart to freeze it in the motel

I got tired of giving my trust away

From so many stabs I've ended up without a back

Whoever does something to me, I leave the bill settled

I pulled all the weight of revenge to my scale, because

Bridge

They want the bad guy

They hate the good guy

I stopped being a remedy

Now I am poison

They want the bad guy

They hate the good guy

I have my feelings below zero

Chorus 3

They've told you a thousand things about me

They weren't wrong, they spoke to you straight

But if you want to win my heart

It has a downside, I'll speak to you straight

I am ice, ice, ice

SONG MEANING

Feeling the chill? Daddy Yankee’s “Hielo” is a swagger-packed confession in which the Puerto Rican icon admits he has turned his heart into ice. Rumors about his bad-boy reputation are true, and he wastes no time warning a potential lover that melting him will be almost impossible. From playful wordplay about NASA-level parties to dark hints of past betrayals, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who once cared too much and now survives by keeping emotions at sub-zero temperatures.

Beneath the catchy reggaetón beat lies a story of self-protection. Daddy Yankee contrasts society’s love for the “bad guy” with its rejection of the “good,” revealing how repeated stabs in the back pushed him to trade remedy for poison. “Hielo” is both a celebration of resilience and a cautionary tale: enter his world, and you might find your own heart frozen too.
