Lyrics

[Letra de "Dura"]

[Intro]
(Me gusta mi reggae)
Tiritiritiririti-Daddy
(E-E-E-E-Evo Jedis)

[Pre-Coro]
Cuando yo la vi
Dije, "Si esa mujer fuera para mí"
Perdóname, te lo tenía que decir

[Coro]
'Tás dura, dura
Dura, dura, dura
Que estás dura, mano arriba porque tú te ves bien
'Tás dura, mamacita, te fuiste de nivel
Dura, mira como brilla tu piel
'Tás dura, dímelo, dímelo, ¿cómo es que e'?
'Tás dura, yo te doy un veinte de diez
'Tás dura, dura, dura

[Verso 1]
Tú eres la máquina, la máquina de baile
Si no tiene' a nadie vente pa' mi' brazos, caile
Ese perfume se siente en el aire
Algo como Argentina, tú me traes los Buenos Aires
'Tá poderosa, media escandalosa
Habrán muchas mujeres pero tú eres otra cosa
Si fuera un delito eso de que estás hermosa
Te arresto en mi cama y te pongo las esposas
Tienes el toque, toque, toque
Miren el material, edición especial
Tienes el toque, toque, toque
Perdóname, te lo tenía que decir
[Coro]
'Tás dura, dura
Dura, dura, dura
Que estás dura, mano arriba porque tú te ves bien
'Tás dura, mamacita, te fuiste de nivel
Dura, mira como brilla tu piel
'Tás dura, dímelo, dímelo, ¿cómo es que e'?
'Tás dura, yo te doy un veinte de diez
'Tás dura, dura, dura

[Puente]
Me gusta como mueve ese ram-pam-pam
Mi mente maquineando en un plan-plan-plan
Si me deja, en esa curva le doy pam-pam
Cuál es tu receta no sé, 'tás pa' comerte bien
Me gusta como mueve ese ram-pam-pam
Mi mente maquineando en un plan-plan-plan
Si me deja, en esa curva le doy pam-pam
Tu belleza retumba, las otras pa' la tumba

[Verso 2]
Uno, dos y tres, vamo' a darle, la envidia que se calle
Saludos a to'as las nenas que paralizan la calle
¿Cómo tú te llamas? ¿de dónde tú eres?
Dame el número pa' entrar contigo en detalles
Y tienes el toque, toque, toque
Pareces una estrella formando el alboroto
Tienes el toque, toque, toque
Se cae el internet cuando subes una foto
[Pre-Coro]
Cuando yo la vi (Dímelo, baby girl)
Dije: "Si esa mujer fuera para mí" (Pa' mí esa baby)
Perdóname, te lo tenía que decir

[Coro]
'Tás dura, dura
Dura, dura, dura
Que estás dura, mano arriba porque tú te ves bien
'Tás dura, mamacita, te fuiste de nivel
Dura, mira como brilla tu piel
'Tás dura, dímelo, dímelo, ¿cómo es que e'?
'Tás dura, yo te doy un veinte de diez
'Tás dura, dura, dura

[Post-Coro]
Tú tienes el size, otra como tú mami no hay
Pégate, dale boom bye bye
Que tú tienes el size, otra como tú mami no hay
Pégate, dale boom bye bye
Que tú tienes el size, otra como tú mami no hay
Pégate, dale boom bye bye
Que tú tienes el size, otra como tú mami no hay
Pégate, dale boom bye bye, yep, yeah

[Outro]
Retumbando las bocinas de seguro
Dirili-Daddy Yankee y el Disco Duro
Urba & Rome
Que pa' esta liga no se asomen
Dura, dura, dura
