HAY LUPITA Lyrics in English by Lomiiel
Cotorra literally translates to "parrot" 🦜. However, in the Dominican slang used in this song, it takes on a completely different and more interesting meaning.
In the phrase "dar cotorra", it means to sweet-talk, flirt, or chat someone up. The song's line "Si te di cotorra, cógelo en cura" translates to "If I sweet-talked you, take it as a joke." This idiom cleverly connects the image of a talkative parrot to a smooth-talker trying to win someone over, making it a fun and memorable piece of slang to learn.
"HAY LUPITA" is pure party energy built entirely around flirtatious teasing and hypnotic dance moves. Lomiiel spends the track bantering with a girl named Lupita, calling her out for acting sweet on the outside while secretly being wild: "Yo sé que-que tú eres malita / ¿Y quién te ve?, nada ma' eres chiquita" ("I know you are mischievous / And who would guess it? You just look small"). The track is unabashedly cheeky, turning street flirtation into a club chant with lines like "Tú atrás de mí con marido" ("You chasing after me even though you have a husband").
The real fuel of the track, though, is its relentless demand for hip-shaking. Lomiiel repeats the hook "dame cinturita" ("give me waist movement") like a dancefloor command, urging Lupita to drop her hesitation with Dominican street slang like "deja tu frescura" ("stop acting snobby") and "si te di cotorra, cógelo en cura" ("if I fed you sweet talk, take it as a joke"). In Dominican Spanish, dar cotorra means smooth-talking or sweet-talking someone, and taking it en cura means laughing it off for fun. From there, Lomiiel throws in Mexican slang with "Órale, güey, que eso suena chido" ("Alright, dude, that sounds cool"), keeping the tone playful, fast, and aimed straight at the dance floor.
