In Da Getto – Lyrics Meaning in English – J Balvin & Skrillex

The word ‘ghetto’ refers to areas in a city that are typically occupied by slums or minorities. The song depicts the summer craze in the clubs in which dance and action become the core part of the singer who shows the correct steps to be able to dance. The Colombian artist’s narrative of people’s music continues, and this mantra is also reflected in this song, which encourages dancing in popular neighborhoods.

Singer: J Balvin & Skrillex 

Dancin’ at the ghetto
And at the ghetto
Party in the ghetto
And at the ghetto

Dancing at the ghetto (slum area)
And at the ghetto
Festivity in the ghetto
And at the ghetto

Esto se jodió
La vecina no sé qué bebió
El vecino no sé qué prendió
A la gente no sé qué le dio, pero
To’ el mundo está loco (Está loco)
To’ el mundo, to’ el mundo está loco (Está loco)
To’ el mundo raya’o del coco

This got all screwed up
I don’t know what the neighbor drank
I don’t know what turned her on
I don’t know what he used to give people, but
Everyone is totally crazy (He’s crazy)
Each and every one is crazy (He’s crazy)
Everyone scratched the coconut
And I was the only one who knew what they rode

En el ghetto hay party, to’ el mundo, everybody
‘Tamo flow rastafari, ‘tá perfecto ese body
Mami, tú estás bien salvaje y yo que estoy de safari
DJ, no le baje’, pongan la de Tego y de Daddy
Ese culo e’ de quilate’ (-late’), se te notan los pilate’ (-late’)
O tú gana’ o yo gano, no lo dejamo’ en empate (Empate)
En mi casa es el remate (-mate)
Nos fuimo’ lowkey (-key), calla’o, sin dar detalle’ (-talle’)
La gente ya se dio cuenta, que montamo’ la disco en la calle
Y esto es

In the ghetto there is a party, to the world and everybody
There flow Rastafari (Rastafari is used to describe Rastafarians and their beliefs and lifestyle), that body is flawless
Mommy, you’re really ferocious and I’m on expedition
DJ, don’t turn it down, put Tego and Daddy’s
That ass is carat, you can see the Pilates 
Either you win it or I will win, we don’t have to leave it in a tie (tie)
In my house it is the Dutch auction (mate)
We went modest (-key), shut up, without giving details (-size)
People already realized that we mounted the disco in the street
And this is

Dancin ‘at the ghetto
And at the ghetto
Party in the ghetto
And at the ghetto
Dancin ‘at the ghetto
And at the ghetto
Party in the ghetto
And at the ghetto

Dancing at the ghetto
And at the ghetto
Festivity in the ghetto
And at the ghetto
Dancing at the ghetto
And at the ghetto
festivity in the ghetto
And at the ghetto

E-En el barrio siempre hay bailoteo, Ave María (Ave María)
El trago nunca falta ni la buena compañía
Yeah, cómo ha cambiado la vida
Yo crecí en el ghetto y el mundo e’ la casa mía (Mía, mía, mía)

In the neighborhood there is always dancing, Hail Mary (Hail Mary)
The drinks are never deficient nor the good company
Yeah how life has changed so much
I grew up in the ghetto and the world is my house (Mine, mine, mine)

Dancin’ at the ghetto

And at the ghetto
Party in the ghetto
And at the ghetto
Dancin’ at the ghetto
And at the ghetto
Party in the ghetto
And at the ghetto

Dancing at the ghetto
And at the ghetto
Party in the ghetto
And at the ghetto
Dancing at the ghetto
And at the ghetto
Party in the ghetto
And at the ghetto
