Dame Hombro lyrics in English: what the song says
"Dame Hombro" by Bulin 47 and Kevin Wai is a two-minute dembow song about the night their street freestyle happened. In the verses Bulin 47 arrives focused and says he is not bluffing, and Kevin Wai raps about rolling with the man from Capotillo; the chorus keeps calling "dame hombro" ("give me shoulder": move your shoulders with me); the outro shouts out Capotillo, his mother, his labels and the Dominican Republic, now "worldwide". Below, Bulin47Video.io explains each part and the slang in plain English. We do not reprint or translate the lyrics line by line: the full Spanish lyrics are on Musixmatch and the official video is on YouTube. Checked 16 October 2026.

The song, part by part
Our summary in our own words, from the lyrics on Musixmatch and Genius and the official video. Who sings which part is our reading where the sources do not say.
| Part | Voice | What it is about |
|---|---|---|
| First verse | Bulin 47 (it ends with his name) | He shows up focused, notes that the rappers have joined in, and says the street never rattles him. He is on his way inside and not faking it: you know who he is. |
| Second verse | Kevin Wai (our reading) | Out with his friend and feeling free, he says it is simple: he is walking with Bulin from Capotillo. He jokes that the beat seemed to stop but it was only a pause, praises his partner as a killer on the mic, and ends on the line that sets up the chorus: shoulders move on their own when he is happy. |
| Chorus | Bulin 47 (per Genius) | The title, over and over, called out to the women and the men in the crowd, with "chay" ad-libs and a cue to hold the move. |
| Bridge | Kevin Wai (per Genius) | He brags about his talent, rapping and trapping while people listen, and names the producer, Breyco En Producidera. |
| Outro | Both | Shout-outs: gone worldwide, from Los Praditos to the whole world, the producer, his mother, Buchulo Records and 47 Music, Capotillo and the Dominican Republic. |

Where the shoulder dance comes from
The line right before the first chorus says the shoulders move by themselves when he is happy. Then the chorus asks everyone else for theirs. That is the whole dance: shoulders up and down on the beat, as Bulin 47 does in the freestyle.
So "dame hombro" is less a request for comfort than a party call: dance with me, back me up. The longer note on the title, and why there is no dictionary entry for it, is on what "dame hombro" means. The moves themselves: how to do the Dame Hombro challenge.
Where to read the real lyrics
We found no official English translation on 16 October 2026. The English versions in TikTok captions are fan-made and differ from one another, mostly on the slang above.
- Musixmatch: the full Spanish lyrics, both verses included, credited to Bulin 47 and Kevin Wai as writers.
- Genius: a fan transcription by two contributors with the chorus, bridge and outro only (no verses on 16 October).
- Spotify and Apple Music: open the song and tap Lyrics where the app shows them in your country.
- The official video: YouTube's automatic Spanish captions follow the song but mishear names (Kevin Wai comes out as "Kevin White").
Is the freestyle the same as the song?
Not exactly. The 2 October street freestyle was improvised and has no official lyric sheet. The song's verses talk about the same scene, heading inside and the beat pausing, which fits the night Kevin Wai stopped him outside a restaurant in Madrid (our reading; we could not match every freestyle line).
The AI trend uses the freestyle's sound, not this studio song. Which sound to pick, and why Shazam sometimes says "Vito Melor": what song the trend uses. Where to watch the original: the Bulin 47 original video.
How we checked
On 16 October 2026 we read the lyrics on Musixmatch and Genius, compared them with the official video's captions and looked each word up in the RAE and Association of Spanish Language Academies dictionaries. Bulin47Video.io is an AI video tool and has no tie to Bulin 47, Kevin Wai or 47 Music; the lyrics belong to their rights holders. If you would rather dance than translate, the Bulin 47 video maker puts the person in your photo into Kevin Wai's real clip for 15 seconds with the freestyle sound, starting with a free 2-second preview.
