Tensión Lyrics in English Daddy Yankee , Hector el Father

Tensión is an explosive reggaetón anthem where Puerto Rico’s heavyweight duo, Daddy Yankee and Héctor el Father, flex their status as los capos of the genre. Throughout the track they declare that wherever they go, they crank up the “tensión,” a word that doubles as both excitement on the dance floor and pressure on their rivals. Over a pulsating beat, they invite the women to get closer, boast about silk sheets and late-night adventures, and remind everyone that their musical dynasty—El Cartel—sets the rules of the street.

At the same time the lyrics fire off warnings to competitors: the two “bosses” are on the hunt, still undefeated, and any artist who wants in on their territory needs to prove real courage. By mixing swagger, playful flirtation, and a tough-as-nails street code, Tensión captures the adrenaline rush of reggaetón’s golden era—part club invitation, part victory lap for the kings who keep the party and the block on edge.
