RUMBATÓN Lyrics in English Daddy Yankee

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song RUMBATÓN by Daddy Yankee from Spanish to English.
Intro
Rumba!
Chorus 1
I fell just like you and I got up
Little by little I got over all that hurt
You don't love in one day, nor forget in two
Either way you have to live life
So give it movement, and
Chorus 1
Dance for me, let's stay up dancing till dawn
Dance for me, that sorrows are forgotten by dancing
Dance for me, that the past is already leaving
And with you I only want to dance reggaeton
Let's dance reggaeton side to side, side to side
Let's dance reggaeton side to side, side to side
Let's dance reggaeton side to side, side to side
Let's dance reggaeton side to side, side to side
Let's dance reggaeton
This is for now, not for later
Verse 1
Not for tomorrow or the next day, or a month from now
If time is a teacher, we have to pass the test
Whoever walks straight turns the world upside down
So get moving, sweat that outfit and have fun
If somebody turned out a lemon, pour tequila on top
Don't let anybody get to you, if they pull you hard, pull
Seize the moment, that the good never expires
Come on, come, that there's a party, there's rumba
Your reset arrived, what rules is perreo
There's a party, there's rumba
We're in the grinding, I already see you looser
There's a party, there's rumba, there's a party, there's rumba
Call 911, we lit ourselves on fire
There's a party, there's rumba, there's a party, there's rumba
So give it movement, and
Chorus 2
Dance for me, let's stay up dancing till dawn
Dance for me, that sorrows are forgotten by dancing
Dance for me, that the past is already leaving
And with you I only want to dance reggaeton
Let's dance reggaeton side to side, side to side
Let's dance reggaeton side to side, side to side
Let's dance reggaeton
Verse 2
Reset your clock, reset it
Every second that you breathe, enjoy it
Cut loose whoever holds you back
We sent you the location because we're in the house
There's a party, there's rumba
Your reset arrived, what rules is perreo
There's a party, there's rumba
We're in the grinding, I already see you looser
There's a party, there's rumba, there's a party, there's rumba
Call 911, we lit ourselves on fire
There's a party, there's rumba, there's a party, there's rumba
What's born for today isn't left for later
Chorus 3
I fell just like you and I got up
Little by little I got over all that hurt
You don't love in one day, nor forget in two
Either way you have to live life
So give it movement, and
Chorus 3
Dance for me, let's stay up dancing till dawn
Dance for me, that sorrows are forgotten by dancing
Dance for me, that the past is already leaving
And with you I only want to dance reggaeton
Let's dance reggaeton side to side, side to side
Let's dance reggaeton side to side, side to side
Let's dance reggaeton side to side, side to side
Let's dance reggaeton side to side, side to side
Let's dance reggaeton

SONG MEANING

RUMBATÓN is Daddy Yankee’s electrifying pep talk that turns the dance floor into a therapy session. The Puerto Rican icon reminds us that everyone falls and feels pain, yet the cure is spelled r-u-m-b-a. Little by little you can beat the bad times, and while love can’t bloom in a day nor vanish in two, life keeps moving, so your feet should too. Every shout of “¡Báilame!” invites you to push yesterday aside, sweat out the sorrow, and let reggaetón reset your mood.

The lyrics celebrate living in the now: if time is the teacher, the test is happening tonight. Grab your friends, pour some tequila on the lemons life hands you, and dance “de lado a lado” until dawn. With pulsing beats and catchy calls for “fiesta” and “perreo,” Daddy Yankee’s message is clear—joy never expires when you choose to move, smile, and seize the moment.
