Home / Lyrics translation / J Balvin / 6 AM

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 6 AM by J Balvin from Spanish to English.

Chorus 1

It's already dawning

The sun's coming up

Chorus 1

And I wake up next to you, babe

And I still don't remember

What happened yesterday

Chorus 1

I'd like to know what your name is, woman

But what kind of party

The one that I had last night

I don't remember what happened

But what kind of party

The one that I had last night

I don't remember what happened

Verse 1

But what time is it, what was it that happened

Why does Farru have the car parked in the room

I don't remember, I only know that it dawned

And that I had a tattoo that said

But what confusion, I think that I made a mistake

And I mixed the drinks and some little colored pills

What a feeling, I think that I had a medication

One of those that knock you out hard against the

And it's already six in the morning

And I still don't remember anything

I don't even know your face

But you woke up here in my bed

It's already six in the morning

And I still don't remember anything

I don't even know your face

But you woke up here in my bed

Chorus 2

But what kind of party

The one that I had last night

I don't remember what happened

But what kind of party

The one that I had last night

I don't remember what happened

Verse 2

And I don't remember anything anymore, I have nothing in my mind

Only that I was drinking a lot of rum with aguardiente

Partying in the club, the vibe was lit

That's my only memory up to where I was conscious

The bottle was running out and another was on the way

J Balvin was talking to me and I didn't know what he was saying

I think that they introduced us, I still don't know yet

That I don't remember your name, bad luck for me

It's already six in the morning

And I still don't remember anything

I don't even know your face

But you woke up here in my bed

It's already six in the morning

And I still don't remember anything

I don't even know your face

But you woke up here in my bed

Chorus 3

It's already dawning

The sun's coming up

Chorus 3

And I wake up next to you, babe

And I still don't remember

What happened yesterday

Chorus 3

I'd like to know what your name is, woman

But what kind of party

The one that I had last night

I don't remember what happened

But what kind of party

The one that I had last night

I don't remember what happened

Did you like this lyrics translation?

aguardiente — firewater / traditional spirit

Aguardiente is a clever compound word combining "agua" (water) and "ardiente" (burning), which literally translates to "burning water" or firewater. It is a traditional anise-flavored drink that holds deep cultural significance in J Balvin's home country of Colombia.

In the lyrics, the artist humorously blames his morning memory loss on mixing too much rum with this famous local spirit. Exploring this word provides a fantastic vocabulary building block while giving you a genuine taste of Colombian culture!

Ever woken up after a wild night out and had your brain hit a total wall? That is exactly where Colombian artist J Balvin and Puerto Rican star Farruko find themselves in "6 AM". The track opens with the sun coming up, a massive headache, and the utter panic of looking over at someone you do not recognize: "Y amanezco al lado tuyo, bebé / Y aun no recuerdo / Lo que sucedió ayer" (And I wake up next to you, baby / And I still don't remember / What happened yesterday). It turns out they had an absolute blowout party, or rumba ("Pero que clase de rumba" [What a kind of party]). Things got so out of hand that Farruko somehow parked his car straight inside the room: "¿Por qué Farru tiene el carro aparcado en la habitación?" (Why does Farru have the car parked in the bedroom?).

Balvin blames mixing drinks and pills ("pastillitas de color"), while Farruko admits he went way too heavy combining rum with aguardiente—a fiery, anise-flavored spirit hugely popular in Colombia. In his verse, Farruko recalls Balvin talking his ear off in the club, but he was so faded he had zero clue what Balvin was saying ("J Balvin me estaba hablando y no sabía lo que decía"). Beyond being infectious reggaeton, the track teaches you great real-life party slang, like using the verb rumbiar for clubbing and the phrase "el ambiente estaba prendido" (the vibe was lit). It is a hilarious morning-after mystery where neither guy has solved the puzzle, but both are rolling with the chaos.
