This is a song that's really hard to translate because there's a lot of slang in it, and it doesn't make a lot of sense.

A few things:

"columbiana" - this is probably referring to a popular soda called Columbiana (La Nuestra) which is a bit like Coke
"su cocina" - this could mean equally "I like her cooking" or "I like her kitchen"
"camelar" - here probably meaning "to flirt", "to sweet-talk"
"menear" - probably meaning "to shake one's hips" ie. to dance. Can also just mean moving around in general
"castaña" - might also be referring to Colonia La Castaña, an area of Madrid

Thanks a lot :) Yeah I find his songs in general very difficult to translate, cause as you say there is so much slang. Could you look this song please https://lyricstranslate.com/sr/lagrimas-de-oro-tears-gold.html and tell me if I made some mistakes? (I wasn't sure how to translate words cachondeo, jaleo and vaina, cause it's slang again) I would be very grateful.

First "marihuana".
Later "colombiana".
"Colombiana" means cocaina
