Here Are the Lyrics to Shakira & Cardi B’s Flirty ‘Punteria’ Translated to English

Shakira and Cardi B are currently making the rounds with her collaboration “Puntería,” part of the former’s latest album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. 

The feel-good pop song with flirty lyrics finds the two artists singing about a man who’s not good for them, but his game is so strong, they’ve fallen for him. 

“Puntería” (which translates to “aim”) was born after the two artists met at the Fendi show during Paris Fashion Week. In an interview with each other, during the music video shoot, they elaborated on their first collaborative effort. 

“I wanted to do something with Cardi. We were always discussing internally if it was a good idea to put someone on this song. I always pictured Cardi in this song. I reached out, and here we are,” Shakira said. “It’s been so fun to work with you. It’s so easy, honestly. She’s like, ‘I’ll do everything.’ I’m like, ‘Are you ready to work long hours? Because I work long hours.’ She’s like, ‘I’ll be there from 6 to 6 a.m.’”

After admitting she manifested to work with Shak, Cardi B gushed: “I knew it. I knew this day would come. It came. God is good, Jesus. I don’t care if she wants me to meow — I’m doing it. I cannot wait. Seriously, that is my dream.”

Below, check out the complete lyrics translated into English:

[Intro: Shakira]
You have good aim 
You know where to target me so that I can surrender, surrender

[Pre-Chorus: Shakira]
You have style to call my attention
You throw darts at me that go straight to my heart
Oh, and as many times as I try
Oh, it’s impossible to avoid you

[Chorus: Shakira]
You have good aim 
You know where to target me so that I can surrender, surrender
You attack me where it most hurts, you don’t suit me
But either in your bed or mine, I forget about all that

[Verse 1: Cardi B]
You, you got me stressin’, thinkin’ ’bout sexin’
Baby, keep me company
Give me your fire, squeeze my butt although you’re not the one for me
I got the night, night, put a man right to sleep
Yeah, I’m pretty lil’ thing from face to feet
I’m from the Bronx (Bronx), but I got a Georgia peach
I got a empanada, mama, that he love to eat (Muah)
A wolf like Shaki’, you’re my tiger
Bite me hard, don’t forget about this booty

[Chorus: Shakira]
You have good aim 
You know where to target me so that I can surrender, surrender
You attack me where it most hurts, you don’t suit me
But either in your bed or mine, I forget about all that

[Verse 2: Shakira & Cardi B]
Where he puts the eye, he puts the bullet
He shoots the target and I fall as if nothing 
But if you steal two kisses from me
I won’t even think about the third one 
I’m indecisive all night
And wake up with shirt
Now I don’t know if I even want to stop
Your hands melt me, your lips drug me
Your biceps drive me crazy
I never direct you, you always go straight
To my G-spot 

[Chorus: Cardi B & Shakira]
You have good aim
You know how to last, the other ones stay without battery
He throws darts at me and it doesn’t suit me
But I love it if he has it inside
I get kinky for you, I know that Cardi B will never leave your mind

You have good aim 
You know where to target me so that I can surrender, surrender
You attack me where it most hurts, you don’t suit me
But either in your bed or mine, I forget about all that
