Check out the “Lala” lyrics translated into English:

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la

Everything is good, you don’t have to stress
I will never leave you alone
I was hooked since the first time I saw her
I fell in love when I danced with her
She had been wanting to get close for a long time
Put her back against the wall
If I go down she knows what I’ll do

La-la-la-la-la-la
You want it mami (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Her eyes change (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I look at her and she licks her red lipstick (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Her waist is loose (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Baby, if I grab you (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I’ll take you to new heights (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Let me know and I’ll pick you up (la-la-la-la-la-la)

She let me drive
You’ll always know when I arrive to a place
I was crowned since I was little
It looks good on photo but in person even better
She took one too many drinks
After the red wine she took a pause
When she was going for her fifth
I took her cruising around the neighborhood in the KYMCO
When they see me up front, they become astonished

She does it alone
She’s already turning someone else on as this one burns down
She’s calling my attention because she wants me to do it

When something is for you, it’s inevitable
Baby, I know you want it
Let’s do as if there was no television or cable
Your gaze is to blame for
They’re looking at us, let’s go
She told me, “Don’t think about it to much and give it to me”
By the look on her face, you can tell she’s enjoying it
The neighbors are looking

I love it when you look mad
She fills my bullet cartridge
And even left the weapon in the living room
I was focused on

La-la-la-la-la-la
I’m your Carmelo and you’re my (la-la-la-la-la-la)
When I go down (la-la-la-la-la-la)
She always asks me (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I never stop (la-la-la-la-la-la)
She likes the (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I make her go crazy with (la-la-la-la-la-la)
She touches herself when (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Looking at her and doing (la-la-la-la-la-la)

I’m your Carmelo and you’re my
When I go down
She always asks me
I never stop
She likes the
I make her go crazy with
She touches herself when
Looking at her and doing

In “LALA”, Towers masterfully mixes romance and rhythm, crafting a tune that is both heartfelt and danceable. It’s this potent combination that has helped propel the track to its viral status and solidify Towers’ standing as one of reggaetón’s leading artists.
