Gafas Negras Lyrics in English Maluma , J Balvin

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gafas Negras by Maluma from Spanish to English.
Black shades so that the buzz doesn’t show
Watching how all the asses here bounce
The club is dark, I feel that we’re in Gotham
If she has a boyfriend tonight she dumps him, yeah
Let’s see how we sort it out
I’m stuck to that body like Venom
But chill, relax, that we’re mellow
We close the club, smoking and getting freaky
It’s that the babes came to twerk
And the ones who brought a guy should let him loose for a bit
Relax, that it’s just for perreo, nothing more
Twerking
Maluma, ba-ba-baby, yeah
We walk into the club like normal
She knows that I’m gonna crush it before I even walk in
Even asleep I don’t stop cashing in, yeah
That little ass makes anyone start to pray
But in my case, my bad
She keeps that little body on point
I pray to you, Ave María
In you I trust, like a messiah
If you want I’ll buy you guaro
All my cars have rims
The bank account is outrageous
The babe wants, she wants everything pricey
Sometimes she looks for me and I don’t pay her mind
Yesterday we erased the tape
Twelve babes on the jet
I have little videos that you uploaded to the internet
We finish here and we throw a get-together
I always look for you, let me know when you are
Relax
I don’t mind if she kisses her friend
We keep the party going until the next day
In here I stay with the bandida
We close the club, smoking and getting freaky
It’s that the babes came to twerk
And the ones who brought a guy should let him loose for a bit
Relax, that it’s just for perreo, nothing more
I hit it with the stick, like Alexis y Fido I’m gonna give it to you
I’m gonna collaborate with that ass
The babe is gangster, she also likes to flex
And at home she’s not gonna stay anymore, no
This isn’t for falling in love
I don’t think I’ll get tired of you
They shoot their shot and they don’t stand a chance
That ass is mine, buddy, yeah-yeah
Relax
I don’t mind if you kiss your friend
We keep the party going until the next day
In here I stay with the bandida
Twerking
Hard, hard, hard, hard
J Balvin, man
Latino gang, gang
Yeah, Don Juan, Don Juan, Juan
Let’s go
Medellín on the map, you know it
MadMusick, Smile, Let’s go

SONG MEANING

Gafas Negras throws you straight into a neon-lit Medellín nightclub where Maluma and J Balvin rule the dance floor. The title – “Black Sunglasses” – is their playful disguise: the shades hide their high spirits while they scout the room for the hottest perreo partners. Over booming reggaeton drums, they paint a picture of carefree excess: champagne, private jets, designer rims, and a sea of bodies bouncing to the beat. Any girl who walked in with a boyfriend is politely told to “drop the cat” for the night, because this is a no-strings, no-rules party that keeps going until dawn.

Beneath the flashy name-drops and superhero references (Gotham, Venom), the core message is simple: forget tomorrow and live right now. The song celebrates Colombia’s urban swagger, Medellín pride, and the liberating power of music to erase worries, blur boundaries, and unite everyone in one sweaty, smoke-filled, bass-shaking celebration. Put on your gafas negras, because once the lights go down, it’s all about dancing hard, feeling good, and letting the night write its own wild story.
