He’s achieving his dreams through his talent in this music genre and a lot of hard work. What’s impressive is that he keeps surprising us with new music. 

Now, ‘la Doble P’ has joined forces with the multi-talented Brazilian artist, Anitta, to bring us a song with more of a reggaeton vibe. This collaboration is bound to get us dancing, and the music video is just as catchy and sensual. 

What Does ‘Bellakeo’ Means?

In the contemporary music genres like trap, reggaeton, rap, and hip-hop, it’s common to encounter words that, despite our knowledge of Spanish or fluency, might be unfamiliar to us. Slang varies depending on the region, community, or social group of the speaker; often, it emerges as a unique and creative form of expression that reflects current trends, pop culture, and social dynamics. 

‘Bellakeo’ comes from ‘Bellaco’ (male) or ‘Bellaca’ (female). In its strict definition, the word refers to someone bad, mischievous, or rascal; however, in some countries like Puerto Rico, it has a more s*xual connotation. It’s also used to describe someone who is sexually aroused. The word has variations such as ‘bellaquita,’ ‘bellacoso,’ ‘bellaquear,’ and ‘bellaqueando.’ According to the Dictionary of Americanisms, ‘bellaquear’ means ‘to engage in any type of sexual relationship or play.’

«BELLAKEO» Lyrics Translation

[Verse 1]

She left her house with her mind on fire
Today, she argued with the other, left it ready for me
She’s already calling for someone to pick her up
Plan B on the radio, singing with her girls
Some shots of Clase Azul, and we’re heading straight to the club
Because she just wants, eh

[Chorus]

All night we’re partying, partying, partying, partying, partying, ke ke ke
ke keo partying, partying, partying, partying, partying, ke ke ke keo.
All night we’re partying, partying, partying, partying, partying, ke ke ke
ke keo partying, partying, partying, partying, partying, ke ke ke keo.

Getting stuck to the wall,
DJ turn up the reggaeton, oh
I like it when they give it to me like that
All night we’re partying
Everybody wants to get close to me
But I don’t want anyone
Because when you move like that
The atmosphere gets dangerous
To do crazy things
Daddy, you’re strong, you already knew it
You’re much more than I asked for
Who would’ve thought that tonight would happen
And it doesn’t require anyone’s approval
She says eh eh eh

[Chorus]

All night we’re partying, partying, partying, partying, partying, partying,
partying, ke ke ke ke keo partying, partying, partying, partying, partying,
partying, partying, ke ke ke ke keo.

Give it baby, all the way down
And let the floor fall apart
Walk with the Yeezys on
Handing out the crystals
She masters the whole class
But when she’s with me
She melts and dissolves
Baby, dance for her, make me disappear
Run, little kids, exploding like TNT
You partying with me, and I’m partying with Leandro to the fullest
Baby, without thinking much, I’ll go with you
Baby, dance for her, make me disappear
Run, little kids, exploding like TNT
You partying with me, and I’m partying with Leandro to the fullest
Baby, without thinking much, I’ll go with you

Getting stuck to the wall
DJ turn up the reggaeton, oh
I like it when they give it to me like that, eh
