Hit it, hit it hard, ma'

Climb on top

Hit it hard ma', hit it hard, ma'

Hit it, hit it hard, ma'

Climb on top

Hit it hard ma', hit it hard, ma'

Climb on top

Hit it hard ma', hit it hard, ma'

Hit it, hit it hard, ma'

I continue with my tumbao'

I'm guillao' because I'm proven'

Reggaetón sazonao'

WY they pass him by

Take this underground, zum-down

For your cat to move the count

I keep them awake

Tonight I turned

And my cat asking me

Board

Table, table

That cat asks for a table

Oh, give it a table

Table, table

And my cat asking me

Board

Table, table

That cat asks for a table

Oh, give it a table

Table, table

And my cat asking me

Climb on top

Hit it hard ma', hit it hard, ma'

Hit it, hit it hard, ma'

Climb on top

Hit it hard ma', hit it hard, ma'

Hit it, hit it hard, ma'

Climb on top

Hit it hard ma', hit it hard, ma'

Hit it, hit it hard, ma'

Climb on top

Hit it hard ma', hit it hard, ma'

Hit it, hit it hard, ma'

The 4x4 arrived for your house, what's happening?

What her name? Tomasa

Every day she diets for fat

W, you abaza her

Move forward and sweep away, of coffee, two cups

If you are brave, threaten

Give it a rest for the terrace

You won a dog, this is the breed that will give you

Board

Table, table

That cat asks for a table

Oh, give it a table

Table, table

And my cat asking me

Board

Table, table

That cat asks for a table

Oh, give it a table

Table, table

And my cat asking me

Climb on top

Hit it hard ma', hit it hard, ma'

Hit it, hit it hard, ma'

Climb on top

Hit it hard ma', hit it hard, ma'

Hit it, hit it hard, ma'

Climb on top

Hit it hard ma', hit it hard, ma'

Hit it, hit it hard, ma'

Climb on top

Hit it hard ma', hit it hard, ma'

Hit it, hit it hard, ma'

Tabla — Board / Plank

Tabla literally means "board" or "plank." While it's a common word, in the context of reggaeton and this song, it takes on a very specific, slang meaning.

In this song, "tabla" is used as a double entendre, referring to a woman's desire for intense dancing, often implying a very close, physical style of dance. It's a provocative and memorable word that stands out in the lyrics, making it enticing for learners to discover its hidden meaning in this musical context.

Wisin & Yandel open "Tabla" with two drops — the label, then the producer — before Wisin turns to his partner and hands him the mic: "Dile a ella, Yandel, dile" (Tell her, Yandel, tell her). What follows is one instruction repeated until it becomes part of the beat: "Trépate encima" (Climb on top), "Dale duro ma', dale duro, ma'" (Hit it hard, girl, hit it hard). The song has no story and no build. It is a command and its echo, stacked four times over a dembow bed that never lets up, and the arrangement returns to that same block three separate times.

The boasting is saved for the verses. "Estoy guillao' porque estoy probao'" (I'm cocky because I've proven myself) is the entire argument; everything else is scenery — a 4x4 pulling up outside, a girl introduced by name ("¿Cuál es su nombre? Tomasa"), two coffees, a terrace, and "To' los días hace dieta por la grasa" (Every day she's on a diet over the fat). Then the hook comes back: "Esa gata pide tabla" (That girl is asking for tabla). The title is the joke the whole chorus is built to land — tabla is literally a plank or a board, and here it is standing in for something else entirely, which is why the word is sung eight times a round and never once explained.
