BICHOTA Lyrics in English by KAROL G
The word bichota is the heart of this song! It's a feminized version of the Puerto Rican slang term bichote, which refers to a powerful figure, often in illicit trades, or a 'big shot'.
However, KAROL G completely redefines it as a term of female empowerment. In her context, a bichota is a powerful, confident, and self-assured woman who is in charge of her own life and feels on top of the world. It’s all about being the ultimate boss.
Colombian reggaeton star KAROL G turns up the swagger in this ultimate boss-energy anthem. The title itself reclaims street slang: while bichote traditionally refers to a high-level drug boss in Puerto Rican slang, she flips it into bichota to mean a powerful, untouchable woman running her own show. Right from the start, she boasts about heading out dressed to kill: "Salgo acicalada de pies a tope" [I go out dressed up from head to toe] and declares "Me siento bichota sin salir del bloque" [I feel like a boss without even leaving the block]. She rolls around with her crew in a packed SUV ("Yo también tengo una Jeepeta / La tengo fuleteá' con toda mis shorties" [I also have a Jeep / I have it loaded with all my girls]) and makes it clear that any fear was left locked at home ("Dejamos el miedo en la gaveta" [We left fear in the drawer]).
Beyond partying and drinking bottles with her girls until they are "al garete" [wild and out of control], KAROL G calls out loud talkers who cannot back up their claims. When she repeats "Roncan, pero no pueden con mi pum-pum" [They boast, but they can't handle my power], she is brushing off people trying to act tough. She delivers some hilarious, blunt disses aimed at an online admirer who is quick to tap heart icons but useless in person: "Tú pa' darme like en el Insta eres veloz / Pero se rumora por ahí que eres precoz" [You're fast to give me a like on Instagram / But rumor has it you finish too quick]. She brushes past the online chatter without breaking a sweat, letting everyone know she simply operates on a different level.
