My G, Tití came VIP with her group

Intro 1

I like her smile even if it hurts me

I live like Sopranos, Italians

The Sopranos is an American television series that follows New Jersey-based Italian-American mafia crime families

Intro 1

I've been the boy for fifty years

The Boy is one of Drake's many other monikers

I like her big ass twerking

Perriando is a puertorrican dance usually danced to reggaeton and dembow, similar to 'grinding'

She goes down low, she likes this size

Go ahead, Papi Champagne, jheez

Introduce you to Richie, here we go

My broski Benito, he needs a pretty girl

Intro 1

A freak, a crazy one

Crazy with my love, my friend

She knows that she's really hot

Do you believe that I want

To invest my money in La 42

'La 42 de Capotillo' is a famous street in the city of Santo Domingo, famous for parties and dancing, but can also be dangerous

Where the people are dancing dembow?

Verse 1

Oh, my God, what style

'Acicale' from the verb 'acicalar' means grooming, like when you're dressed up and you're looking good

In the DR are all my hoes, in PR all the gals

Mine steal the show when they come out

Everyone wants to be me, but they can't

In Casa de Campo, chucky, in Mexico, I'm ready for war

'In Casa de Campo,' is a luxury resort in the Dominican Republic

Baby, I'm gonna f*ck up your makeup

Climb on top, put on me the ski-mask

Turn down the lights and close the curtain

I don't want a video, I'm tired of the photo

I'm tired of everyone, except for that p*ssy

I popped bottles of champagne

I got horny when I heard her

Telling me 'Daddy' inside the Porsche

F*ck, babe, holy sh*t

Verse 1

You f*ck so good

The Puerto Ricans ask me for d*ck, the Cubans want d*ck

'F*ck me so good', the foreign girl tells me

Baby, you outdid yourself

Chorus 1

The baby has a husband and didn't tell me anything

Relax, that's nothing

Two hundred bottles and more are coming

There are more coming

The baby has a husband and didn't tell me anything

Relax, that's nothing

Many babes and more are coming

There are more coming

acicale — style / drip / swagger

Acicale is a popular Dominican slang term that means style, swagger, or 'drip'. It comes from the verb acicalar, which means to groom or adorn oneself.

In the song, the line "¡qué acicale!" is an exclamation of surprise and admiration, meaning "what style!" or "how fresh!". It’s a fantastic piece of regional slang that captures the stylish and cool vibe of the track.

"Gently" pairs Canadian rapper Drake with Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny (Benito) for an energetic, bilingual track that shifts gears halfway through into raw Dominican dembow rhythms. Drake kicks off the party by mixing English and Spanish, nicknaming himself "Papi Champaño" (Champagne Papi) and boasting about his mafia-style wealth with "I live like Sopranos, Italianos". He name-drops party destinations from Casablanca to Ibiza while trying to set Benito up with a "bonita" [pretty girl] and a "bien loquita" [total wild girl].

When Bad Bunny takes over, the tempo kicks up and he heads straight for the club culture of Santo Domingo ("La 42", a famous street known for dembow dancing). Benito lays down blunt, hedonistic lines about popping hundreds of champagne bottles, riding in a Porsche, and hiding from cameras behind ski masks and closed curtains ("no quiero video, estoy harto de la foto" [I don't want video, I'm tired of photos]). Even discovering his date has a husband ("La baby tiene marido y no me dijo nada" [The baby has a husband and told me nothing]) barely pauses the party, shrugging it off with "Tranquila, eso no es nada" [Relax, that's nothing] as more bottles keep rolling in.
