What’s the Meaning of ‘QLONA,’ Karol G’s Hit at the Billboard Music Awards: Lyrics in English

Her explosive collaboration with Mexican music star Peso Pluma has climbed the charts globally, but exactly, what is it about?

Archivado en: Karol G  •  

If there’s one thing Karol G knows how to do, it’s leaving us completely speechless, just as she did at the latest edition of the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, once again clarifying that she is one of the top performers of the moment.

The Colombian, dressed in a groundbreaking outfit, delivered an iconic medley of her most recent hits, also previewing her upcoming collaboration with Kali Uchis, «Labios Mordidos.» All of this on a stage set in a pool with an impressive choreography directed by none other than Parris Goebel, who has designed other shows like Rihanna’s at the Super Bowl.

Among the songs performed by the Medellín native was «QLONA,» her explosive collaboration with Mexican music star Peso Pluma, which has climbed the charts globally. But exactly, what is this song about?

Meaning of «QLONA»

«QLONA» is one of the most anticipated tracks from the «b-side» of ‘Mañana Será Bonito.’ A catchy and sensual tune perfect for kicking off the «Bichota Season.» Here, both Karol G and Peso Pluma seem to sing about a woman. In reality, «QLONA» is an abbreviated name in internet slang for «culona,» which translated into English is something like a woman with a considerable butt size. Both artists express their attraction to her and the desire to take things further, with clever rhymes and getting carried away by a catchy and seductive rhythm.

“QLONA” Lyrics in English

Original – Spanish

Ayer te vi solita
Esa carita bonita
Diablo, qué mamacita

Estás provocándome aunque lo haces sin querer
Ya por ti pregunté y hace más de un mes
Te dejaste con el bobo aquel

Qué hijueputas ganas tengo de besarte
Te vi en una foto y te imaginé sin ropa
Te mentiría si no estoy loca por verte
Con ese jeancito, cómo te ves de culona

Qué hijueputas gana tengo de besarte
Te vi en una foto y te imaginé sin ropa
Te mentiría si no estoy loco por darte
Con ese jeancito, cómo te ves de culona

Nos vamos de guayeteo, fumeteo en la disco, mero perreo
Te pusiste minifalda pa’ ver si yo te gateo
Un besito pa’ sentir ese goteo
Y prendí la cámara pa’ grabarte un video

No te voy a mentir, no paro ‘e imaginarme tu culo en tanga
Pónteme de espalda hasta que el Sol salga
Te pongas caliente y todo el cuerpo arda, arda
Te pongas caliente como la arena
Y ese culito blanco, el Sol te lo ponga moreno
Lo tiene grandote por el entreno
Empieza el toque-toque, mojaíta’, flow sereno

Te pone caliente como la arena
Y ese culito blanco, el Sol te lo ponga moreno
Lo tiene grandote por el entreno
Empieza el toque-toque, mojaíta’

Qué hijueputas ganas tengo de besarte
Te vi en una foto y te imaginé sin ropa
Te mentiría si no estoy loco por darte
Con ese jeancito, cómo te ves de culona

Qué hijueputas ganas tengo de besarte
Te vi en una foto y te imaginé sin ropa
Te mentiría si no estoy loca por verte
Con ese jeancito, cómo te ves de culona

Ayer te vi solita
Esa carita bonita
Diablo, qué mamacita

Estás provocándome aunque lo haces sin querer
Ya por ti pregunté y hace más de un mes
Te dejaste con el bobo aquel

O-O-Ovy On The Drums
Qué hijueputas ganas tengo de besarte (de besarte)
De besarte, de besarte
Te mentiría si no estoy loca por verte
Por verte, por verte
Cu-cu-cu-culona (culona)

QLONA – English Version

Yesterday I saw you alone
That cute little face
Damn, what a hottie

You’re provoking me even though you’re not trying
I asked about you and it’s been more than a month
You broke up with that idiot

Damn, I really want to kiss you
I saw you in a photo and imagined you without clothes
I’d be lying if I said I’m not crazy about seeing you
In those jeans, how good you look with that booty

Damn, I really want to kiss you
I saw you in a photo and imagined you without clothes
I’d be lying if I said I’m not crazy about giving it to you
In those jeans, how good you look with that booty

We’re going out partying, smoking in the club, pure grinding
You wore a mini skirt to see if I would hit on you
A little kiss to feel that dripping
And I turned on the camera to record a video of you

I’m not going to lie, I can’t stop imagining your butt in a thong
Put it facing backward until the sun rises
You get hot and your whole body burns, burns
You get hot like the sand
And that little white butt, let the sun make it tan
It’s big from the training
The touch-touch begins, wet, serene flow

You get hot like the sand
And that little white butt, let the sun make it tan
It’s big from the training
The touch-touch begins, wet

Damn, I really want to kiss you
I saw you in a photo and imagined you without clothes
I’d be lying if I said I’m not crazy about giving it to you
In those jeans, how good you look with that booty

Damn, I really want to kiss you
I saw you in a photo and imagined you without clothes
I’d be lying if I said I’m not crazy about seeing you
In those jeans, how good you look with that booty

Yesterday I saw you alone
That cute little face
Damn, what a hottie

You’re provoking me even though you’re not trying
I asked about you and it’s been more than a month
You broke up with that idiot

O-O-Ovy On The Drums
Damn, I really want to kiss you (to kiss you)
To kiss you, to kiss you
I’d be lying if I said I’m not crazy about seeing you
To see you, to see you
Big, big, big booty (booty)
