English[edit]

DIDDY:
Oh! Candy's got you wrapped around her little finger
She just wants you to show her that you care

DK:
So, if I ask her to be wed, it really means no instead?
It doesn't make much sense to you if she really doesn't want me too?

DIDDY:
When she says "Yes, yes, yes"
It means "No, no, no"
When she says "Yes, yes, yes"

BOTH:
It means "No, no, no"!

DIDDY:
Yes means no and no means yes, it should be rather obvious
If you ask, she will say "nay", a swinging bachelor you will stay

DK:
Oh, this makes no sense to me
If I ask her, she won't agree
Why look like a foolish clown, when she's only gonna turn me down?

If I read between the lines and understand what you say
It's not a true proposal, just a role I'll play!

BOTH:
When she says "Yes, yes, yes"
It means "No, no, no"
When she says "Yes, yes, yes"
You know it's all for show
When she says "Yes, yes, yes"
It means "No, no, no"
When she says "Yes, yes, yes"
You know it's all for show

Latin American Spanish[edit]

Singer Latin American Spanish lyrics Translation
Diddy

¡Oh! Candy a su voluntad te tiene atado
Solo muestra que te importa, no seas malo

Oh! Candy has you wrapped around her finger
Just show her you care, don't be mean

DK

Entonces, ¿Si le pido que se case no me va a aceptar?
¿No tiene caso que se lo pida si no me quiere en realidad?

So, if I ask her to marry me, she won't say yes?
Is there any point in asking her if she doesn't really love me?

Diddy

Si dice “Sí, sí, sí”
Dice “No, no, no”
Si dice “Sí, sí, sí”

If she says “Yes, yes, yes”
She says “No, no, no”
If she says “Yes, yes, yes”

BOTH

¡Significa “No, no, no”!

It means “No, no, no”!

Diddy

Sí es no y no es sí, es muy obvio, debo decir
Si se lo pides, te dirá que no, y seguirás soltero, si señor

Yes means no and no means yes, it's pretty obvious, I must say
If you ask her, she'll say no, and you'll stay single, that's for sure

DK

No tiene sentido en realidad
Si se lo pido, no aceptará
No me pienso arriesgar si solo me rechazará

It doesn't really make sense
If I ask her, she won't agree
I'm not going to take the risk if she's just turn me down

Quiero creer que es verdad lo que me acabas de hablar
¡Esta propuesta es un papel que voy a jugar!

I want to believe that what you just told me is true
This proposal is a role I'm going to play!

BOTH

Si dice “Sí, sí, sí”
Dice “No, no, no”
Si dice “Sí, sí, sí”
Es solo para el show

If she says “Yes, yes, yes”
She says “No, no, no”
If she says “Yes, yes, yes”
It’s just for show

Si dice “Sí, sí, sí”
Dice “No, no, no”
Si dice “Sí, sí, sí”
Es solo para el show

If she says “Yes, yes, yes”
She says “No, no, no”
If she says “Yes, yes, yes”
It’s just for show
