A bad boy approaches me over there

A bad boy and I know what he's going to say

He's going to show me what size his balls are

He's going to tell me about his bat and his balls

You don't dance Gangnam Style

You don't last a single round

You don't move your hips even to walk

You approach me like a king

By telling me about your law

But don't forget that I'm not

No shit

20 seconds 20 seconds

You don't last me even 20 seconds

20 seconds just 20 seconds

You don't last me even 20 seconds

A bad boy approaches me over there

A bad boy I know what he's going to say

He's going to want to shield me with his gun

But I know it's your cell phone, get in line

Stop bragging that I am the V.I.P

Two bottles on your table are nothing to me

You approach me like a king

By commanding me of your law

But don't forget that I'm not a badass

20 seconds 20 seconds

You don't last me even 20 seconds

20 seconds just 20 seconds

You don't last me even 20 seconds

20 seconds 20 seconds

You don't last me even 20 seconds

20 seconds just 20 seconds

You don't last me even 20 seconds

There daddy don't be shy

I don't get married without a veil

Come on don't be afraid

I swear to you that my love lasts

While it lasts it lasts

You don't dance Gangnam Style

You don't move your hips even to walk

You approach me like a king

By telling me about your law

But don't forget that I'm not a badass

20 seconds

You don't last me even 20 seconds

20 seconds

You don't last me even 20 seconds

20 20 seconds

20 seconds 20 seconds

You don't last me even 20 seconds

20 seconds just 20 seconds

You don't last me even 20 seconds

20 seconds

You don't last me even 20 seconds

apantallar — to show off / to impress

Apantallar means "to show off" or "to impress," a lively, colloquial verb that captures someone trying to make a big, often exaggerated impression on others.

In "Me va querer apantallar con su pistola" ("He's going to want to shield me with his gun"), Gloria Trevi uses the word to describe a man trying to impress her with bravado and danger instead of real substance.

Get ready to feel empowered with Gloria Trevi's "20 Segundos"! This song is a sassy anthem where Gloria takes on a boastful 'bad boy' who thinks he's all that. She's not impressed by his attempts to show off, whether he's talking about his "bate y sus pelotas" [bat and balls] or trying to "apantallar con su pistola" [impress with his pistol] – which she quickly dismisses as just his cell phone!

Gloria makes it clear that this guy, who approaches her "como un rey" [like a king], doesn't stand a chance. She tells him, "Tú no me duras a mí ni 20 segundos" [You won't last 20 seconds with me], playfully challenging his bravado. She even pokes fun at his dancing, saying "Tú no bailas Gangnam Style" [You don't dance Gangnam Style] and "Tú no mueves las caderas ni pa caminar" [You don't move your hips even to walk]. It's a fun, confident song about a woman who knows her worth and isn't afraid to put a conceited man in his place!
