Espresso Martini Lyrics in English by Rauw Alejandro, Marconi Impara, Yan Block
Caimane' is slang for caimanes, which means "caimans," a reptile similar to an alligator. It's a rare and powerful word to find in a song, used here to create a vivid and intimidating image.
In the lyrics, Rauw Alejandro warns, "Si jode' con to', te comen los caimane'" (If you mess with everyone, the caimans will eat you). He uses this metaphor to say that crossing him or his crew will have dire consequences, painting a picture of undeniable power and danger in the unforgiving world he describes.
Rauw Alejandro teams up with Marconi Impara and Yan Block for a track that's all about the high life. The song is a flex from start to finish, built around luxury, women, and an unshakeable confidence. Rauw sets the scene immediately by telling a girl to get ready because the paparazzi will be waiting: "Ponte algo bien cabrón / Que hay paparazzis en el rest" [Put on something f***ing amazing / There are paparazzi at the restaurant]. The title itself comes from a list of expensive things he enjoys, including an "Espresso martini, el Bugatti / Y el Mille son tourbillon" [Espresso martini, the Bugatti / And the (Richard) Mille is a tourbillon].
Throughout the song, the artists brag about their success, wealth, and appeal. They talk about being with women from Japan and France, claiming "El sexo es el lenguaje" [Sex is the language]. But even with all the fame and money, Rauw insists he'll never forget where he came from, promising "Pa'l barrio siempre voy a volver" [I'll always go back to the neighborhood]. The verses are full of bold, explicit lines and a sense that they've earned their spot at the top. Yan Block even compares himself to a rockstar, saying "Me miro la espejo y lo que veo es un rockstar / Pero soy un trapstar" [I look in the mirror and what I see is a rockstar / But I'm a trapstar].
