Que Calor Lyrics in English by Major Lazer, J Balvin, El Alfa

Home / Lyrics translation / Major Lazer / Que Calor

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Calor by Major Lazer from Spanish to English.

Chorus 1

So hot that it drops in the club

So hot, tinder for the girls

Please, that it drops in the club

Chorus 1

So hot, tinder for the girls, please

Verse 1

That blonde doesn't understand me if I talk to her in Spanish

But she learned the song perfectly

For my homeland, for my nation, no discrimination

Here there's no race or religion, dance it out of obligation

Chorus 2

So hot

So hot, tinder in the club

So hot, tinder for the girls

Please

I devour the women steamed

On the beach drenched in sweat

Bikinis look better on you

You are my love

Every time I see that booty I go crazy

You drop it all the way down, babe, with lots of flavor

The way you move it, few in the world move it

Come on, come on, dance like crazy

The way you move it, few in the world move it

Come on, come on, dance like crazy

The way you move it, few in the world move it

Global warming

The animal is loose

Hands up whoever is real

So hot that it drops in the club

So hot, tinder for the girls

Please, that it drops in the club

So hot, tinder for the girls, please

So hot

So hot that it drops in the club

So hot, tinder for the girls, please

So hot

Please

So hot

saoco — Rhythm / Flavor / Groove

Saoco is a fantastic slang word from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic that has no direct English translation. It's used to describe a unique mix of rhythm, flavor, and swagger, especially when someone is dancing or performing.

In "Que Calor," the line "Tú le da' hasta abajo, mami, con mucho saoco" means "You get down low, mami, with a lot of groove/style." It’s the perfect compliment for someone's energetic and flavorful dancing, a word you'd learn from music, not a textbook.

Turn this on and you immediately feel the sweat dripping off the club walls. Major Lazer teams up with Colombian superstar J Balvin and Dominican dembow king El Alfa for an absolute pressure cooker of a track. The title phrase, "Qué calor" ("It's so hot"), sets the scene inside a packed dance floor where things get so wild it feels like actual "calentamiento global" ("global warming"). Balvin points out how infectious a good rhythm is with the funny observation: "Esa rubia no me entiende si yo le hablo en español / Pero se aprendió la canción a la perfección" ("That blonde girl doesn't understand me if I speak Spanish to her / But she learned the song to perfection"). It does not matter what language you speak; rhythm bypasses grammar entirely.

There is also a strong push to bring everyone onto the floor together: "Aquí no hay raza ni religión, báilalo por obligación" ("Here there is no race nor religion, dance it by obligation"). When El Alfa takes over, the speed ramps up with slang you will hear across Caribbean party music. He yells about dancing with "mucho saoco" ("lots of flavor" or "rhythm and spice") and shouts "yesca para las muñeca'" ("fire for the pretty girls" or "fuel for the dolls"). By the time El Alfa warns that "anda suelto el animal" ("the animal is on the loose"), the track has completely abandoned cooling down. It is loud, goofy, sweaty, and impossible to sit still to.
