Mil Problemas Lyrics in English Daddy Yankee
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mil Problemas by Daddy Yankee from Spanish to English.
Tengo mil problemas y como quiera vo'a salir
I have a thousand problems and I'm still gonna come out on top
No me hablen de perse, uno nace pa' morir
Don't talk to me about trouble, one is born to die
Muchos están velándome
Many are watching me
Siguen amenazándome (siguen amenazándome)
They keep threatening me (they keep threatening me)
¿Cuál es el dilema? Tengo mil problemas
What's the dilemma? I have a thousand problems
Pero como quiera voy a salir
But no matter what I'm gonna come out on top
Yo tengo mil problemas pero nunca me he mudao'
I have a thousand problems but I've never moved
Todos dicen que estoy fácil pero ninguno me ha dao'
Everyone says I'm easy but none has gotten to me
Me llaman privado y no cuelgan hasta que enganche
They call me privately and don't hang up until I do
No me quitan el sueño y siempre estoy cuadrando un planche
They don't keep me awake and I'm always setting up a plan
La gata en Isla Verde, los hoteles y el casino
The girl in Isla Verde, the hotels and the casino
Me roncan por lo' oasis, te la vives de Al Pacino
They brag to me about their oases, you live like Al Pacino
Pero me tiene sin cojones los que pa' mí esté impuesto
But I don't give a f*ck about what's imposed on me
Como mismo me levanto así mismo yo me acuesto
Just as I get up, that's how I go to bed
Si se vieran como hablan, polvo de ganso
If they saw themselves how they talk, bullsh*t
Me visto pa' la calle y con el miedo no transo
I dress for the street and I don't deal with fear
Pregúntale a tu satélite, que hasta las siete estuve
Ask your satellite, that I was there until seven
De to' los jodedores soy el ultimo que sube
Of all the hustlers, I'm the last one to rise
Tengo mil problemas y como quiera vo'a salir
I have a thousand problems and I'm still gonna come out on top
(Los invito, pónganse pa' mí)
(I invite you, come at me)
No me hablen de perse, uno nace pa' morir
Don't talk to me about trouble, one is born to die
(Dicen por ahí qué)
(They say out there what)
Muchos están velándome (¿Y qué más?)
Many are watching me (And what else?)
Siguen amenazándome (siguen amenazándome)
They keep threatening me (they keep threatening me)
¿Cuál es el dilema? Tengo mil problemas
What's the dilemma? I have a thousand problems
Pero como quiera voy a salir
But no matter what I'm gonna come out on top
Tengo mil problemas, los comentarios me llueven
I have a thousand problems, comments rain down on me
Y por envidia son novecientos noventa y nueve
And out of envy, they are nine hundred ninety-nine
Y el uno que queda es para mí mismo
And the one that's left is for myself
Si la calle está dura la parto con el ritmo
If the street is hard, I break it with the rhythm
Dicen que estoy caliente y me siento como un freezer
They say I'm hot and I feel like a freezer
Si corro con aceite ustedes corren con diésel
If I run with oil, you run with diesel
Como desde que salí me quede con su cliente
Since I came out, I kept their client
Me ven y me saludan, etillándose los diente'
They see me and greet me, gritting their teeth
En la calle soy solista, a nadie le hago coro
In the street I'm a soloist, I don't do backup for anyone
La mierda de la gente que la aguante el inodoro
People's sh*t, let the toilet handle it
Si total voy a salir bien relax de todos modos
If I'm totally gonna come out very relaxed anyway
Yankee es mi nombre, el pitcher es mi apodo (¡wuh!)
Yankee is my name, the pitcher is my nickname (wuh!)
Tengo mil problemas y como quiera vo'a salir
I have a thousand problems and I'm still gonna come out on top
(Los invito, pónganse pa' mí)
(I invite you, come at me)
No me hablen de perse, uno nace pa' morir
Don't talk to me about trouble, one is born to die
(Dicen por ahí qué)
(They say out there what)
Muchos están velándome (¿Y qué más?)
Many are watching me (And what else?)
Siguen amenazándome (siguen amenazándome)
They keep threatening me (they keep threatening me)
¿Cuál es el dilema? Tengo mil problemas
What's the dilemma? I have a thousand problems
Pero como quiera voy a salir
But no matter what I'm gonna come out on top
Papi, estoy bien asustao'
Babe, I'm really scared
No me atrevo a salir pa' la calle
I don't dare go out into the street
Jeje
Jeje
Pónganse pa' mí
Come at me

Did you like this lyrics translation?
planche — scheme / plan
Planche is a fascinating word in this context. While it can literally mean 'iron' (as in to iron clothes), in Puerto Rican slang, it refers to a 'scheme' or a 'plan', often one that is clever or even a bit mischievous.
Daddy Yankee uses it when he says, "siempre estoy cuadrando un planche" (I'm always cooking up a plan). This gives insight into his street-smart persona, always strategizing and staying ahead, making it an engaging and culturally rich word for learners.
