Amarillo Lyrics in English J Balvin

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amarillo by J Balvin from Spanish to English.
Chorus 1
It's past twelve, we went out to party
Today I'm going crazy, you guys know me
Tego's reggaeton so that you can enjoy it
You know who Balvin is, let me introduce José
And I don't complicate myself, how do I explain to you
That I like to have a good time
How do I explain to you, I don't complicate myself
I like to have a good time
Verse 1
After twelve we head out to look for the party
I'm rolling with the tigers, we're in safari mode
And with a violent flow that makes us look like hitmen
Drinking wine and some smoking weed
The cops are upset because
The party already got good, but
We're legal, they can't arrest me
That's why I keep going until dawn
Chorus 2
And I don't complicate myself, how do I explain to you
That I like to have a good time
How do I explain to you, I don't complicate myself
I like to have a good time
I don't complicate myself, how do I explain to you
That I like to have a good time
How do I explain to you, I don't complicate myself
I like to have a good time
Verse 2
That the party keeps going, we're not gonna stop
Here it only stops if my mom calls
Today I gotta keep going, the people ask for more
They invite me over here, they invite me over there
And we're gonna keep going
The bottles come and I didn't order them
The house is empty and they're all alone
If you know how I am, why do you invite me
Why do you invite me
We're gonna keep going
The bottles come and I didn't order them
The house is empty and they're all alone
If you know how I am, why do you invite me
Chorus 3
And I don't complicate myself, how do I explain to you
That I like to have a good time
How do I explain to you, I don't complicate myself
I like to have a good time
And I don't complicate myself, how do I explain to you
That I like to have a good time
How do I explain to you, I don't complicate myself
I like to have a good time
Outro
I don't complicate myself
I don't complicate myself
I don't complicate myself

SONG MEANING

J Balvin paints the night neon yellow, the color of pure energy and optimism. Right after midnight he rallies his friends, turns up a classic Tego Calderón beat, and invites everyone to meet the man behind the stage name: José. The lyrics feel like a city-wide treasure hunt for fun, bouncing from party to party with “los tigres” in modo safari, dodging any worries that try to interrupt the vibe. Even a curious police patrol cannot dim the glow, because everything is legal and the music is louder than doubt.

At its core, Amarillo is an ode to living light. The repeated hook “no me complico” (“I do not complicate things”) is Balvin’s carefree motto: stay present, enjoy good company, and keep dancing until sunrise—unless Mom calls. Bottles arrive unannounced, invitations pour in, and the only rule is simple: if you know how he rolls, why invite him if you do not plan to keep up? The song’s bright color title echoes its message: be bold, be joyful, and let happiness shine like yellow lights cutting through a late-night city sky.
