When Pitbull released "Culo" in 2004, fans who couldn't speak Spanish sang the hook like this: "Da da da lita benenenita tenentremendo...CULO!!" They didn't know what he was saying, and most of them didn't care to find out. It was just fun to scream "CULO!"
Pitbull is the reason that many non-Spanish speakers know that "culo" means "ass" in English. He's the foremost Spanish professor for people who don't want to learn the language, but simply want to master enough phrases to take someone home.
But certain words and phrases in Spanish can mean different things, depending on the connotation. Fortunately for Pitbull's "students," every song has an exclusively sexual connotation, and they all say the same thing: You're sexy, you like to party, so we're going to get down.
His singles are the best thing to happen to white dudes at the club since Haddaway's "What Is Love."
Without further delay, it's time to learn some sexy Spanish pickup lines with Pitbull! A brief forewarning: These are phrases you probably want to avoid using around family, or any public place besides the club. One more thing: These phrases are roughly translated.
"Culo" feat. Lil Jon Lyric: "Esta tan linda, esta tan rica. Tiene tremendo culo." Translation: "She is so cute, she is so tasty. She has a big booty."
There you go, everyone who mumbled most of the hook to this 2004 hit song. You can use "Estas tan..." if you'd like to personally compliment a lady on her tastiness in the club.
"Bojangles" Lyric: "Traelo patras" Translation: "Bring it back."
Perfect for when you're dancing with that special someone.
"Ay Chico (Lengua Afuera)" Lyric: "Todo el mundo con la lengua afuera" Translation: "Everybody with their tongue out."
Lengua is a popular meat dish in Latin America, as well as Pitbull's favorite part of his body. Put that thing back in your mouth!
"I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" Lyric: "Si es verdad que tu eres guapa. Yo te voy a poner a gozar." Translation: It's true that you're beautiful. I'm going to give you sexual pleasure."
Gozar can mean a few different things, but in this content Pitbull is relaying that he's getting ready to put it down and give much enjoyment to his sexual partner.
"Dont Stop the Party" Lyric: "Que no pare la fiesta" Translation: "Don't stop the party."
Pitbull is actually a pretty great teacher. He uses catchy songs to teach his audience certain Spanish phrases. He'll say it in Spanish, then in English. That's how most children learn other languages, through short songs and simple melodies. He's the rap game Rosetta Stone.
"Toma" Lyric: "Oye, loca. Ven paca. Muevelo, muevelo, sin parar." Translation: "Come here, crazy girl. Move it, move it, don't stop."
Lyric: "Si estas caliente, quitate la ropa" Translation: "If you're hot [read: horny], take off your clothes."
