Con Altura (With Prowess)
by Rosalia, J. Balvin ft. El Guincho
(Verse 1: El Guincho and then Rosalia)
Let’s begin this -with prowess
I sing dembow with depth [dembow = music genre]
They say: “A star, a character”
From Hector, I learned zest [Hector Lavoe, a famous salsa singer]
You have never seen such a pure jewel
(Chorus: El Guincho and then Rosalia)
This one is here to stay, what I do lasts (With prowess)
Too many nights of mischief (With prowess)
I live fast, I am incurable (With prowess)
I’ll go young to my grave (With prowess)
This one is here to stay, what I do lasts (With prowess)
Too many nights of mischief (With prowess)
I live fast, I am incurable (With prowess)
I’ll go young to my grave (With prowess)
(Verse 2: Rosalia)
I put roses on the Panamera [Panamera is a sports car]
I clap to Guantanamera [Guantanemera is a famous salsa song]
I carry Camaron in the glove compartment (De la Isla)
[Camaron de la Isla was a flamenco singer]
I do it for my people, and I do it my way
(Pre-Chorus: Rosalia)
Blue flowers and carats [Blue flowers = slang for money]
And if it’s a lie, then that I die
Blue flowers and carats
And if it’s a lie, then that I die
(With prowess)
(With prowess)
(Chorus: Rosalia and then El Guincho)
This one is here to stay, what I do lasts (With prowess)
Too many nights of mischief (With prowess)
I live fast, I am incurable (With prowess)
I’ll go young to my grave (With prowess)
This one is here to stay, what I do lasts (With prowess)
Too many nights of mischief (With prowess)
I live fast, I am incurable (With prowess)
I’ll go young to my grave (With prowess)
(Verse 3: J. Balvin)
Here up high, the winds are strong
Put your seatbelt on and take a seat
I saw inside your girlfriend (Yes)
Money never wastes time (No, no)
Against the wall (You know it)
And I had to buy her a drink because you had her thirsty
It looks so delicious from here
I’m not Sky, but I broke the bass again [a reference to a music producer nicknamed ‘Sky breaks the bass‘]
(Pre-Chorus: Rosalia)
Blue flowers and carats
And if it’s a lie, then that I die
Blue flowers and carats
And if it’s a lie, then that I die
(With prowess)
(With prowess)
(Chorus: Rosalia and then J. Balvin)
This one is here to stay, what I do lasts (With prowess)
Too many nights of mischief (With prowess)
I live fast, I am incurable (With prowess)
I’ll go young to my grave (With prowess)
This one is here to stay, what I do lasts (With prowess)
Too many nights of mischief (With prowess)
I live fast, I am incurable (With prowess)
I’ll go young to my grave (With prowess)
