Dame Hombro lyrics: English translation and meaning
What “dame hombro” means, what the song says part by part, the Dominican slang in it, and where to find the full lyrics and an English translation.

What does “dame hombro” mean in English?
Word for word, dame is “give me” and hombro is “shoulder”. On a dembow track it works as a dance order: move your shoulders, give the beat some shoulder. It is exactly what Bulin 47 does at the end of the viral clip, leaning into Kevin Wai’s speaker with his shoulders bouncing, which is why the move gave the song its name.
There is a second layer. In everyday Spanish, “dar el hombro” also means lending someone your shoulder: supporting them. Shouted at a crowd, the hook says both things at once: dance with me, and stand behind me.
The Dame Hombro song meaning, part by part
| Part of the song | What it is saying |
|---|---|
| The opening ad-libs | Rhythm sounds like “chay, chay” that count the beat in. They have no fixed meaning; they are there to hype the track up. |
| The “voy pa’ dentro” bars | The entrance. He is on his way in, not faking anything and not telling stories: the same attitude as the street freestyle, now on a studio beat. |
| The “dame hombro” hook | The chant everyone repeats: an order to bounce your shoulders, and a call for the crowd to back him. |
| Kevin Wai’s part | The creator who filmed the freestyle shows up on the track too, so the song plays as a sequel to their meeting in the street. |
No official English version of the song exists. The translations online are editorial or fan-made, and they differ on the fastest slang, so read them as a guide rather than word-perfect.
Key Dominican slang in the lyrics
| Spanish | In English | Note |
|---|---|---|
| dame hombro | give me shoulder | Bounce your shoulders; also “back me up”. |
| voy pa’ dentro | I’m going in | “Pa’” is the spoken short form of “para”. He is heading inside, and heading into the moment. |
| no ando en paquete | I’m not telling tales | In Dominican slang a “paquete” is a lie or a made-up story. |
| no ando en película | I’m not putting on an act | From the freestyle: “andar en película” is living a fantasy or showing off. |
| ya todos me conocen | everybody knows me already | The boast from the viral line that made Bulin 47 a meme. |
The freestyle line on its own, “no ando en película ni ando en paquete, ya todos me conocen, soy Bulin 47”, is translated phrase by phrase in Bulin 47 freestyle lyrics and meaning.
