HAY LUPITA Lyrics in English by Lomiiel
Cotorra literally translates to "parrot" 🦜. However, in the Dominican slang used in this song, it takes on a completely different and more interesting meaning.
In the phrase "dar cotorra", it means to sweet-talk, flirt, or chat someone up. The song's line "Si te di cotorra, cógelo en cura" translates to "If I sweet-talked you, take it as a joke." This idiom cleverly connects the image of a talkative parrot to a smooth-talker trying to win someone over, making it a fun and memorable piece of slang to learn.
This song is a super direct and confident attempt to get a woman named Lupita to dance. The whole track is basically French artist Lomiiel trying to convince her to stop playing it cool and get with him. He wastes no time, opening with the very blunt question, "Ay, dígame Lupita / ¿Cuánto quiere por la cosita?" (Ay, tell me Lupita / How much do you want for the little thing?). The chorus is a constant, catchy demand for her to dance with him, repeating "Sí que sí, dame cinturita" (Yes, yes, yes, give me that little waist), which is all about getting her to move her hips.
He keeps trying to break down her defenses, telling her to "deja tu frescura" (stop being stuck-up) and claiming he knows her secret wild side. He says, "Yo sé que-que tú eres malita / ¿Y quién te ve?, nada ma' eres chiquita" (I know that you're a bad girl / And who would know? You just look small). The song gets even bolder when he suggests she's cheating on her husband to be with him, and he thinks it's great: "Tú atrás de mí con marido / Órale, güey, que eso suena chido" (You're after me and you have a husband / Órale, güey, that sounds cool). It's a classic reggaeton party track, all about confidence and seduction on the dance floor.
