Oye Alejandro, dime Nicky
No hay nada más lindo que llegar a la casita, ah

De nuevo en casa
Loco por llegar a casa (ajá)
Muy feliz en mi casa

Yo estuve esperando
A que tú volvieras
Ya llegas pa' casa hermano mío
La puerta siempre la encuentras abierta (wuh)

Sé que cuesta, sé que quieres
Cuando yo llegue ya me dejas puesta la mesa (oh)
Y me arropas un poquito
Y me dejas las babucha' debajo del hocico
Back in the city

Back in the city (back, back in the city)
Y veo a mi gente back in the city (back, back in the city)
I'm back in the city (back, back in the city)
No quiero lamento, back in the city (back, back in the city)

Yo bajo por el mundo entero (por el mundo)
Cantando mis canciones tiempo
Pero cuando vuelvo a mi ciudad
Con mi gente yo muero, muero (me muero)

Y qué te cuenta', qué tú quiere'
Cuando yo llegue ya me dejas puesta la mesa
Y me arropas un poquito
Y me dejas las babucha' debajo del hocico
Back in the city

Back in the city (back, back in the city)
A ver a mi gente back in the city (back, back in the city)
I'm back in the city (back, back in the city)
No quiero lamento, back in the city (back, back in the city)

Back in the city donde yo me vi crecer, ey (ajá)
Donde rumbeaba como un loco everyday, ey (ajá)
Y nunca faltan las mujeres, eso es por ley, ey (ajá)
Me tiran besos cuando pasan por mi way (wuh)
Y la comida de mamá, eso nunca me puede faltar (hey)
Siempre que ando viajando eso es lo más que puedo extrañar (back in the city, hey)
Buscando a to's mis amigos porque juntos la vamos a montar (wuh)

Cuando yo estoy aquí no falta na'
Back in the city

Mira Alejandro
Que ya llegamos a casa
Pero que sí, que sí 
Que sí va a regresar (back in the city)

(Back, back in the city)
Eso es un ratito na' más pero (back)
Nada como estar en casa (back in the city)
(Y si no vuelvo a mi tierra me muero de dolor)
Y como el barrio y como mi gente no hay nada
Yo estoy seguro que vas a volver (back, back in the city)
(Back) Porque la tierra te quiere de vuelta (back in the city)
(Esa tierra yo la adoro con todo el corazón)
Esa tierra te espera con toda la razón

Cuando yo estoy aquí no falta nada (back, back in the city)
(Back, back in the city) (¿Qué estás seperando? Back in the city)
No pierdas la esperanza (back, back in the city)
Cuando yo estoy aquí no falta nada (back, back in the city)
Back in the city
