Porrito En París Lyrics in English by Don Patricio

Botín means “loot” or “spoils,” referring to valuable things won or taken, often after an adventure or competition. In the song, “con todito el botín” describes leaving with their entire prize after winning at the casino, giving the word a playful, treasure-hunting feel.

Don Patricio’s “Porrito En París” feels like a cheeky reunion after a period of chaos. The speaker says he has been doing what he promised and wants to change things: “Todo lo cambiaré, ahora estamo’ en París” [I’ll change everything, now we’re in Paris]. He is back, trying to make the other person laugh, and asking to talk when things feel off. The title means “a little joint in Paris,” and the lyric turns that into a private, slightly mischievous plan: “Solo tengo un porrito pa’ dos” [I only have one little joint for two]. “Pa’” is a casual shortened form of “para,” meaning “for,” while “mami” is an affectionate way to address a woman.

Then the song swerves into gambling and playful rivalry. They roll dice, choose a casino, raise the stakes, and eventually leave with “todito el botín” [the whole loot]. “De tanto hacer el loco alguito me quedé” [After acting crazy so much, I ended up with a little something left] is a funny way to admit that his wild behavior has cost him. He calls her “Cruella de Vil,” comparing her to the famously villainous character, and says he is tired of wars: “Solo un porrito en París, mami” [Just one little joint in Paris, baby]. The result is a stylish, unruly night where promises, flirting, gambling, and a back entrance all belong to the same adventure.
