I don't want to be a victim of what I love most

I don't want to be poor having money

It is expensive and difficult to live under pressure

Hide from my contradiction

People criticize me for my manners

I have very special gifts

They talk and give me a boost

And I don't have tits made'

They spit dust, bark they bark

Like a parrot, how they drill

That pod gives me a cough

Why do I want one, if I can have two?

Tell me what I'm doing wrong

If I have the guys eating in my hand

They say, 'Hello, how are you?'

And bab-an with his ass back

I can't stop imagining what it would be like to live in Manhattan

While I read on Twitter how you guys fight over me and kill each other

I can't stop imagining what it would be like to live in Manhattan

While I read on Twitter how you guys fight over me and kill each other

In Manhattan, in Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-

Ouch! in manhattan

In Ma-, ow! In Manhat-hat-hat

Ouch! in manhattan

Two pairs of Cartier, they look like twins

I arrived with a fresh picket, the room became ice

Well, if you saw my closet, it looks like Manhattan

Mountains of clothes as tall as a skyscraper

I feel George Clooney, this is The Great Hustle

I close business in a suit and with a pair of glasses

You are collectible dolls

Because they lose value if you take them out of their box

With corashe like Nathy, we are one of those who fit it

We climb onto a cloud from which no one takes us down

You're talking to the baker, take your slice

I cut the ties to my fears without a razor

I can't stop imagining what it would be like to live in Manhattan

While I read on Twitter how you guys fight over me and kill each other

No-no-I can't stop imagining what it would be like to live in Manhattan

While I read on Twitter how you guys fight over me and kill each other

In Manhattan, in Manhattan

In Man-, ow! in manhattan

Au-au-authentic violence, reflection of your mind

Exquisite excellent

They think I'm innocent

I'm going to get to Hollywood without getting my teeth fixed'

Say, 'Eo', 'Eo'

Say, 'Eo'

I can't stop imagining what it would be like to live in Manhattan

While I read on Twitter how you guys fight over me and kill each other

I can't stop imagining what it would be like to live in Manhattan

While I read on Twitter how you guys fight over me and kill each other

In Manhattan, in Manhattan

In Man-, in Manhattan

in Manha-ha

In Manha-ha-ha-hattan

corashe — courage (slang)

Corashe is a phonetic spelling of the Spanish word coraje, which means 'courage' or 'bravery'. Nathy Peluso uses this slang spelling to add a raw, street-smart, and authentic flavor to her lyrics.

In the song, she declares, "Con corashe como Nathy, somos de los que lo encajan" (With courage like Nathy, we are the ones who fit it in/make it work). This word perfectly encapsulates her bold, confident persona and her ability to overcome challenges with fierce determination.

Nathy Peluso and Duki are taking us on a wild ride to "MANHATTAN," a song where they're not holding back! Nathy kicks things off by telling us she doesn't want to be a "víctima de lo que más quiero" [victim of what I love most] or "pobre teniendo dinero" [poor having money]. She's feeling the pressure and the criticism for her "modales" [manners], but she's got "dotes muy especiales" [very special gifts]. She even jokes about people talking smack, saying "Y eso que no tengo las tetas hecha'" [And I don't even have my breasts done yet]! It's clear she's got people wrapped around her finger, asking "¿Pa' qué quiero una, si puedo tener dos?" [Why do I want one, if I can have two?] and boasting that she has "a los tipo' comiendo en mi mano" [guys eating out of my hand].

Both Nathy and Duki are dreaming big, imagining life in Manhattan while watching everyone "se pelean por mí y se matan" [fight over me and kill each other] on Twitter. Duki joins in with his own swagger, describing his closet as looking like Manhattan with "Montañas de ropa tan altas como un rascacielo" [Mountains of clothes as tall as a skyscraper]. He compares himself to George Clooney in Ocean's Eleven, closing deals in a suit and sunglasses. He's got a blunt message for his critics, calling them "muñeco' de colección" [collector's dolls] who "pierden el valor si los sacan de su caja" [lose their value if you take them out of their box]. It's a fun, confident anthem about rising above the haters and living large, with a touch of humor and a whole lot of attitude!
