El Clavo Lyrics in English Prince Royce , Maluma

Home / Lyrics Translation / Prince Royce / El Clavo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Clavo by Prince Royce from Spanish to English.

Don't tell me that you think about him, baby

And how bad it went for you

Maluma baby

If tonight your boyfriend dumps you

Tell him that you're not alone

That you're with me, that I do take care of you

Not like that idiot

If tonight your boyfriend dumps you

Tell him that you don't go around alone

That I'm the nail that pulls out that nail

And tell him to f*ck himself

Maluma baby

I'm keeping count, this is the fifth time

But I don't get why you don't see it

You're way too hot to be with him

Such an amazing woman, to be with him

And if he looks for you at 4:20 'cause he calls you drunk

Now he loves you but tomorrow he'll hurt you again

Don't cry over that bum

Let me make you fall in love

If tonight your boyfriend dumps you

Tell him that you don't go around alone

That you're with me, that I do take care of you

Not like that idiot

If tonight your boyfriend dumps you

Tell him that you're not alone

That I'm the nail that pulls out that nail

And tell him to f*ck himself

Tell me, tell me, tell it to me, tell it to me, babe

For that *ss I'd hand over even my Grammys to you

Even if I don't have any, when you come

Without being Italian I'll give you my salami

We both know that he doesn't treat you right

I'm clear on why you're not with him

Don't tell me that I can't make you fall in love

If you laugh every time I touch

That p*ssy needs to be kissed slowly

If Gina leaves, Tatiana comes around

There's Susana, I've seen her rocking Dolce

For all of them I want to be their slave

And nail them

If tonight your boyfriend dumps you

Tell him that you're not alone

That you're with me, that I do take care of you

Not like that idiot

If tonight your boyfriend dumps you

Tell him that you're not alone

That I'm the nail that pulls out that nail

And tell him to f*ck himself

If tonight your boyfriend dumps you

Babe

That you're not alone

That you're with me

That I do take care of you

Not like that idiot

If tonight your boyfriend dumps you

Tell him that you're not alone

And it's not the car

And tell him to f*ck himself

SONG MEANING

El Clavo is a playful breakup anthem where Prince Royce and Maluma slip into the role of the smooth rescuer. They spot a woman stuck with a careless, party-loving boyfriend and offer a tempting escape: “If he dumps you tonight, tell him you are not alone, you are with me.” The singers promise real attention, romance, and even their Grammy awards, contrasting their own charm with the guy they label an “idiot.”

The title comes from the Spanish saying “un clavo saca otro clavo” (“one nail pulls out another nail”). In other words, the best way to forget a bad love is to dive into a better one. Packed with swagger, cheeky wordplay, and irresistible rhythm, the song celebrates confidence, self-worth, and the thrill of trading heartbreak for a hotter, happier connection.
