Nivel De Perreo Lyrics in English by J Balvin, Ryan Castro
Padrastro literally means "stepfather". It's an interesting and somewhat unexpected word to find in a reggaeton song, making it memorable.
In the lyrics, J Balvin says, "Ustedes son mis hijos y me dicen el padrastro" (You all are my children and you call me the stepfather). This line is a playful boast, implying that he's the dominant figure, the one in charge, or even the one who takes care of things, much like a stepfather might. It's a clever use of a common family term in an uncommon, swaggering context.
J Balvin, who also goes by his first name José, teams up with fellow Colombian artist Ryan Castro for a song that is 100% about a wild party. The title itself means "Level of Perreo," and "perreo" is the signature dance style of reggaeton. They waste no time setting the scene, boasting that they're the bosses: "Ustedes son mis hijos y me dicen el padrastro" (You are my children and you call me the stepfather). The whole track is a description of an intense night out where it's so hot that "En el piso llueve sudor" (Sweat rains on the floor).
The lyrics are full of confidence and very direct descriptions of flirting and hooking up at the club. They talk about bringing friends, drinking alcohol "Para activar todos los poderes" (To activate all the powers), and dancing all night. J Balvin even reminds everyone of his status in the music world, saying he's approved by legends like Daddy Yankee and Snoop Dogg. It's a pure, high-energy party anthem that's all about confidence, dancing, and having a good time.
