Ya Ma La Se Lyrics in English Nanpa Basico

Home / Lyrics Translation / Nanpa Basico / Ya Ma La Se

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ya Ma La Se by Nanpa Basico from Spanish to English.

The door is already open

So that when you want, you can leave

If trust is dead

There’s no excuse that’s worth it

What’s the use of us trying, trying, trying?

Going around in circles, we’re not going to get there

I already know you and your way of acting

A new excuse, who do you want to fool?

I already know that one, I already know that one

That you should never forget who I am too

Look me in the face, take off your bra

Because I only believe your skin

I already know that one, I already know that one

That you should never forget who I am too

Look me in the face, take off your bra

Because I only believe your skin

You arrived with your clear hands and your soft legs

The problem is that you’re not so clear and I know that you know it

I’m looking you in the face, kiss me before I record

Better don’t say anything and just do it like you know

You just do it like you know

Just do it like you know

You just do it like you know

The same thing, the same excuse

We both know that you’re just using me

I forgive you everything if you lose your blouse

Playing with you is Russian roulette

But I already know that one, babe, I already know that one

That you should never forget who I am too

Look me in the face, take off your bra

Because I only believe your skin

I already know that one, babe, I already know that one

That you should never forget who I am too

Look me in the face, take off your bra

Because I only believe your skin

SONG MEANING

Ya Ma La Se paints the picture of a fiery relationship that flickers between passion and mistrust. Nanpa Básico opens the door—literally and metaphorically—inviting his partner to leave whenever she wants because their trust is already broken. The repeated line “esa ya me la sé” (“I already know that one”) shows how he sees through her recycled excuses. They keep spinning in circles, unable to move forward, yet they are irresistibly drawn back together by physical chemistry that overrides logic.

The song’s energy comes from this push-and-pull: both lovers recognize the game, both understand the danger, but neither can walk away from the thrill. Nanpa Básico’s raw vocals lay out a deal that is equal parts warning and temptation: honesty may be gone, but the attraction is real, and for the moment that is all that matters. The result is a track that feels like late-night confession—seductive, cynical, and impossible to ignore.
