Below, I translated the lyrics of the song RITMO (Bad Boys For Life) by Black Eyed Peas from Spanish to English.

This is the rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, rhythm

This is the rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, rhythm

This is the rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, rhythm of the night

We break all night

The next day we come back

You know how we do it, babe

Babe, tonight's like fire

We're 'bout to spend the money

We party to the extreme, babe

We break all night

The next day we come back

You know how we do it, babe

Babe, tonight's like fire

We're 'bout to spend the money

We party to the extreme, extreme, extreme, extreme, extreme

Rhythm

They are neither Reebok nor Nike

Without a stylist, I look fly

Rosalía tells me that I look cool

I don't deny it to you because I know what's up

What you see, you don't ask about

I'm prosperous and I'm sure that it's my fault

Like Canelo in the ring, nothing scares me

I live in my Oasis and they can't knock down my peace

Hakuna Matata like Timon and Pumbaa

I'm on my way to legend so go ahead, shake it

I leave them blind with the vibe that lights me up

Haters to the grave, us to the party

This is the rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, rhythm of the night

We break all night

The next day we come back

You know how we do it, babe

Babe, tonight's like fire

We're 'bout to spend the money

We party to the extreme, babe

We break all night

The next day we come back

You know how we do it, babe

Babe, tonight's like fire

We're 'bout to spend the money

We party to the extreme, extreme, extreme, extreme, extreme

Rhythm

The rhythm, the rebels, styles upon styles upon styles, I got several

Born to be wild 'cause I live like a daredevil

Live it up, hit 'em up, that's the scenario

I get around like a merry go

I am on top of the pedestal

I am so sick I need medical

I learned that sh*t down in Mexico

The rhythm, the rebel

New and improved, I be on a new level

That's how we do it, we buildin' like LEGO

Fuel on the fire, you're dealing with fire

Can't stop, I am addicted I never quit

Won't stop, don't need to speak to no therapist

No stop, keepin' it movin' is the narrative

Nonstop, do it like there it is

This is the rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, rhythm of the night

We break all night

The next day we come back

You know how we do it, babe

Babe, tonight's fire

We're 'bout to spend the money

We party to the extreme, babe

We break all night

The next day we come back

You know how we do it, babe

Babe, tonight's like fire

We're 'bout to spend the money

We party to the extreme, extreme, extreme, extreme, extreme

SONG MEANING

RITMO (Bad Boys For Life) bursts out of the speakers as a multilingual party manifesto that fuses the ’90s classic “Rhythm of the Night” with modern Latin-urban swagger. The Black Eyed Peas and Colombian star J Balvin invite listeners onto a dance floor that never closes: the chorus repeats that “this is the rhythm of the night” while English and Spanish verses brag about looking fly without a stylist, spending cash like it’s nothing, and lighting up the club like fuego.

Beneath the glitter, the lyrics celebrate unstoppable confidence and cultural pride. References to Canelo’s fearlessness in the boxing ring, Timón and Pumba’s carefree “Hakuna Matata,” and the crew’s “Oasis” of peace paint a picture of people who work hard, play harder, and refuse to let negativity dim their shine. It’s an invitation to live in the moment, dance until sunrise, and embrace a global rhythm that unites everyone on the floor.
