vorrei sapere la traduzione di "I know you want me" calle ocho di Pitbull.
Sono maggiorenne ma non so lo spagnolo, anche se si capisce che è un po' volgarotta come canzone. grazie

Ananymous, that was a very literal translation so in that aspect, good job. This is about the closest I can come to translating it properly...

it's mostly slang... a lot like "it's raining cats and dogs" in English I believe.

Rumba or Rhumba is a form of cuban based dance so they are talking about dancing.

Rumba, yeah
She wants to Rumba, what? (Como means how literally but also what)
Rumba, yeah
She wants to Rumba, what?

Yeah it's true that you are sexy (good looking, etc.) (guapo is handsome but when it's guapa it means pretty, sexy, hot)
And I'm going to put it on you to enjoy (this is kind of a loose translation)
You have a big mouth
So let's begin t play (or start playing)

Again, it's not literal translation. Hope that helps!

Ok so when u said that the song says u have a big mouth and its talking about playing, does pitbull mean that to be dirty?

Guest
Guest's picture

Probably.

Guest

Yes, definitely. The song is meant to be sexual as most hot Latin songs are. Its full of what we would call "double entendres" in English/French. What he plans to "put on/in her" and the "big mouth" reference as definitely plays on words. Its a great song and its not all in Spanish. Its a Latin mix with references to Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish (Cuba + Latin America in general). Hot hot hot song!

By the way, here is the correct translation. Not that the other was wrong, but you have to put it in context and realize that the words in this song are used as slang. It changes things a bit and some of the words are intended to have double-meanings (double-entendres) as well.

Rumba (Si) - Toy(Yes)
Ella quiere su Rumba (Como) - She wants her toy(what!?)
Rumba (Si) - Toy(Yes)
Ella quiere si Rumba (Como) - She Wants her toy(what!?)
Si e' verdad que tu ere guapa, - if its true that you're brave
Yo te voy a poner gozar - I will give you joy
Tu tiene la boca grande - You have a big mouth
dale ponte a jugar (Como) - So start playing (What!?)

Como usually means how in Spanish but the way that he's using it, it means what and rumba is a slang word for toy.

si... means yes!... and como.. means "what"... so it has to be wrong

Guest

Si, with an accent, means yes, but si, without an accent, means if

lpontis22 sounds like the more realistic translation but all the translations make this song even sexier than it already was. The type of song that comes on at a club and you just need to be with a girl when it comes on haha! Incredible!
