[English]

Una bachata! Ah!

...

We had agreed that everything was already wrong

And there was no more hope

We marked the end, but it’s always the same ending

You make me take a step back

Perfuming my body

And that smile that drives me crazy

With the intention to provoke

How can I leave her? (Come!)

And we made love, oh-oh

It was supposed to be the end, who said I can do it?

And we made love, oh-oh

As if it were our last request

And we made love, oh-oh

It was supposed to be the end, who said I can do it?

And we made love, oh-oh

As if it were our last request

Perfuming my body

And that smile that drives me crazy

With the intention to provoke

How do I leave her?

...

(A bachata feeling)

Perfuming my body

And that smile that drives me crazy

With the intention to provoke

And how do I (leave her?)

(Right side, raise your hand here, oh!)

(One, two, go!)

And we (made love, oh-oh)

It was supposed to be the end, who said I can do it?

And we made love, oh-oh

As if it were our last request

And we made love, oh-oh

It was supposed to be the end, who said I can do it?

And we made love, oh-oh

As if it were our last request

Perfuming my body

And that smile that drives me crazy

With the intention to provoke

And how do I leave her?

...

(I miss you, my love!)

(I’m your favorite singer, baby!)

(Hands up everyone here, oh!)

And we made love, oh-oh

It was supposed to be the end, who said I can do it?

And we made love, oh-oh

As if it were our last request

(We made love, oh-oh)

...

And we made love, oh-oh

As if it were our last request

Perfuming my body

And that smile that drives me crazy

With the intention to provoke

And how do I leave her?

And we made love, oh-oh

(Much music... tonight’s women!)

[Portuguese]

Una bachata! Ah!

A gente tinha combinado que já tava tudo errado

E que não dava mais

Marcamos o ponto final, mas o final é sempre igual

Você me faz voltar atrás

Enche de perfume no corpo

E o sorriso que me deixa louco

Com a intenção de provocar

Como é que eu largo dela? (Vem!)

E a gente fez amor, ôh-uôh

Era pra terminar, quem disse que eu consigo?

E a gente fez amor, ôh-uôh

Como se fosse o último pedido

E a gente fez amor, ôh-uôh

Era pra terminar, quem disse que eu consigo?

E a gente fez amor, ôh-uôh

Como se fosse o último pedido

Enche de perfume no corpo

E um sorriso que me deixa louco

Com a intenção de provocar

Como é que eu largo dela?

Enche de perfume no corpo

E um sorriso que me deixa louco

Com a intenção de provocar

E como é que eu (Largo dela?)
