Translate Gasolina into english, please?

Here is the Spanish version:

Gasolina - Daddy Yankee
Da - ddy Yan- kee !
zumbale mambo pa' que mi gata prenda los motores,
zumbale mambo pa' que mi gata prenda los motores,
zumbale mambo pa' que mi gata prenda los motores,

Que se preparen que lo que viene es pa que le den, Duro!

Mamita yo se que tu no me va quitar(duro!)
Lo que me gusta es que te dejas llevar (duro!!)
todo los weekenes ella sale a vacilar (duro!!)
mi gata no para de janguiar porque

A ella le gusta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina!)
Como le encanta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina) 2x

Ella prende las turbinas,
No discrimina,
No se pierde ni un party de marquesina,
Se acicala hasta pa' la esquina,
Luce tan bien que hasta la sombra le combina,
asecina, me domina
janguea en carros, motoras y limosina,
Llena su tanque de adrenalina,
Cuando escucha el reggaeton en la cocina.

A ella le gusta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina!)
Como le encanta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina!) 2x

(yo!)Aqui yo soy de los mejores
No te me ajores
En la pista nos llaman "Los Matadores"
Tu haces que cualquiera se enamore
Cuando bailas al ritmo de los tambores
esto va pa'las gatas de to'colores
Pa' la mayores, pa' la menores
Pa' las que son mas zorras que los cazadores
Pa' la mujeres que no apagan su motores

Tenemo' tu y yo algo pendiente,
Tu me debe' algo y lo sabe',
Conmigo ella se pierde,
No le rinde cuentas a nadie 2x

zumbale mambo pa' que mi gata prenda los motores,
zumbale mambo pa' que mi gata prenda los motores,
zumbale mambo pa' que mi gata prenda los motores,
Que se preparen que lo que viene es pa que le den, Duro!

Mamita yo se que tu no me va a quitar (Duro!)
Lo que me gusta es que te dejas llevar (Duro!)
todos los weekenes ella sale a vacilar (Duro!)
mi gata no para de janguear porque

A ella le gusta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina!!)
Como le encanta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina!!) 2x

If someone could translate this into English it would be greatly appreciated :] Thanks.

Ok, this took me forever to translate, so you better enjoy it.

A few explanations before we start.
reggaeton is a genre of music. this song falls under that genre.
"una gata" is a babe.
"una zorra" is a girl who gets all the men she wants exactly where she wants them, whenever she wants. you know, like me.
the whole gasoline thing is a metaphor for something dirty. im sure you can imagine it.
ok, enjoy.

Gasolina - Daddy Yankee
Da - ddy Yan- kee !
shake it mambo so that my cat (cat = babe) can turn on the engine,
shake it mambo so that my cat (cat = babe) can turn on the engine,
shake it mambo so that my cat (cat = babe) can turn on the engine,

Get ready, because whats coming is to give it to her, (hard!
Mamita, I know that you aren't going to take away (hard!)
What I like is that you let yourself get taken away (hard!)
every weekend she goes out to have fun (hard!)
my cat doesn't stop hanging out because

She likes gasoline (give me more gasoline!)
How she loves gasoline (give me more gasoline!) 2x

The turns on the turbine
she doesn't discriminate
She doesn't even miss a fancy dress dinner
She gets dressed up even to go to the corner store
She wears things so well that even shadow favors her
assasin, she dominates me
she hangs out in cars, motorcycles, and limousines,
she fills her tank with adrenaline,
when she listen to reggaeton in the kitchen

She likes gasoline (give me more gasoline!)
How she loves gasoline (give me more gasoline!) 2x

(me!) Here I'm one of the best
Don't leave me
On the track they call us "the killers"
You make anyone fall in love
when you dance to the rhythm of the drums
this goes out to cats (cats = babes) of all colors
for the older ones, for the younger ones,
for those who are more foxy (foxy = player) that the hunters
for the women who never turn off their engines

You and I have something coming
you owe me something and you know it
with me, she loses herself,
she doesn't surrender explanations to anyone 2x

shake it mambo so that my cat (cat = babe) can turn on the engine,
shake it mambo so that my cat (cat = babe) can turn on the engine,
shake it mambo so that my cat (cat = babe) can turn on the engine,

Get ready, because whats coming is to give it to her, (hard!
Mamita, I know that you aren't going to take away (hard!)
What I like is that you let yourself get taken away (hard!)
every weekend she goes out to have fun (hard!)
my cat doesn't stop hanging out because

She likes gasoline (give me more gasoline!)
how she loves gasoline (give me more gasoline!) 2x

ok.. so just u can know what "Zorra" really means... it means "****!" so i donno if for you guys a **** is a girl who gets all the men she wants exactly where she wants them, whenever she wants. well.. see you around!

zorra= SL**ut!!

Actually, the song is not a metaphor for anything dirty. It's about girls who stay out in the streets partying all the time and getting in guys cars. It's simply a song about girls who like cars and can't stop partying in them. That's it, nothing dirty. If you think about it too much, you'll take it as sexual meaning, but it's not. It's actually a pretty stupid song if you know what it really means. It's still fun to dance to though so wild out.

Some Words I didnt Know!

[kosmidis87]

porque den thelo estas mogiate por siemre estas aqui

[XdejectedXsufferingX]

thanx the english made it so much easier to understand,and is gasolina a dirty metaphor or not??? that has had me so confused

[bumkinxox]

gasolina is slang for booze...one thing i learnt in spanish class!

[wolskesk]

A ella le gusta la gasolina
Como le encanta la gasolina
(literally) translate to:
she likes the gasolina
she is charmed/enchanted by the gasoline

The "a" before "ella" is just proper Spanish grammer and does not translate to "to". If you start a sentence with a name, you have to put an "a" first to be grammatically correct.

You're right Wolskesk, and the reason is as follows:


In English, the subject of the sentence is the person (I, we) while in Spanish the subject of the sentence is the object
It's like to say "the gasoline is pleasing to her" so "le gusta la gasolina" le is the indirect objet and"gasolina the subject

Le gusta la gasolina

It is impossible to tell whether this means:

1. He likes the gasolina.
2. She likes the gasolina.
3. You (usted) like the gasolina.

As you can see, by adding a prepositional phrase, we remove the ambiguity of the "le" form.

1. A él, le gusta la gasolina
2. A ella, le gusta la gasolina
3. A usted, le gusta la gasolina
