Lyrics

[Verse 1 – Male / Fonsi style]
El sol está fuerte, summer’s burnin’ down,
I should be sunbathing, drinkin’ around.
Tengo tequila, cerveza on ice,
But I’m stuck with a fence, and it don’t feel nice.

[Verse 2 – Female Response]
Why are you workin’, the lounge chair is free,
El vino is waitin’, right here next to me.
You’re losin’ the moment, you’re losin’ the glow,
Instead of relaxin’, you’re paintin’ so slow.

[Chorus – Both]
Wastin’ the Spanish heat, pintando la valla,
Neglectin’ the booze, la copa, la playa.
El verano se va, the sunshine won’t stay,
And you paintin’ the fence while it all slips away.

[Verse 3 – Male]
Mis amigos están bronceando, tan feliz,
While I’m covered in splinters, drippin’ like this.
Cada stroke duele, it’s stealin’ my time,
This fence is a prison, no reason, no rhyme.

[Bridge – Female / teasing]
Drop that pintura, ven rest by my side,
Forget la valla, enjoy the sunlight.
No más excuses, mi amor, por favor,
The beach towel is waitin’—don’t miss it no more.

[Final Chorus – Both, big & heartfelt]
Wastin’ the Spanish heat, pintando la valla,
Neglectin’ the booze, la copa, la playa.
The summer is short, the sunshine won’t stay,
And you paintin’ the fence while it all slips away.

[Outro – Both, playful]
(Female) Mi amor, the sun is goin’…
(Male) Just one more plank…
(Female) Forget the fence!
(Male) …pass me the sangría.
