Here Are the English Lyrics to Karol G’s Ultra-Provocative ‘Matadora’

Marking the first collaborative effort between the Colombian artist and Canadian star, the sensual song blends tropical, R&B and pop, and narrates the story between a woman who’s trying to heal and move on from a broken heart and a man who’s patiently waiting to have his opportunity to get to know her. 

“I want you, but for now/ I’m not available, I have my heart broken,” Karol sings, while Drake replies in Spanish with: “The last thing I want is to pressure you.”

The end of the collab includes Drake’s verse on “New Bestie,” one of the tracks from his album MAID OF HONOUR, adding to the song’s impact. 

Below, read all the lyrics translated to English:

Baby, I want you, but for now
I’m not available, I have my heart broken
Because they hurt me, and I’m still not better—
These are things that happen when you fall in love

The last thing I want is to pressure you, relax, I’m here for you.
That I’ll wait for my moment, baby.
I don’t want you to think I don’t want to, it’s just not convenient for me yet.
But please, hold onto the love you have for me

Hold it right there for me
Hold it right there, hold it right there
Hold it right there for me
Hold it right there, hold it right there

The thing is, you’re a great option—I really like you
And for that very reason, I don’t want to hurt you
Usually, when a heart gets broken
The owner of that heart ends up breaking another one
Yeah, and I don’t intend to cause you harm
I’d appreciate it if you could wait for me
I need to heal first, then move on

After that, how did we end up kissing?
Why did we have a drink together?
Why did we have such a good time?
Don’t think I’m trying to justify myself
This isn’t forever, it’s just for a little while
Wait for me a sec
Baby, how do I explain it to you?
I call you so we can have a good time

Hold it right there for me
Hold it right there, hold it right there
Hold it right there for me
Hold it right there, hold it right there

Baby, I want you, but for now
I’m not available, I have my heart broken
Because they hurt me, and I’m still not better—
These are things that happen when you fall in love

I want a Latina, I want a Latina
I want a Latina, I want a La— (Ah)
I want a face just like Carolina
And I want a waist just like Carolina
Bro just snuck in a place with a Nina
How ya mean, how ya mean, how ya mean
I’m not a drug dealer, my money’s way cleaner
I want a La— (Ah, papi)
