[English]

It's time for something new

It's time for something new

Babylon girl

I want your eyes, I want your smile

Take you to the beach, get you out of the country

And bite your neck

Hidden away in Ibiza

Falling asleep on your butt, underneath the palm trees

There you go, think about it calmly

I want your eyes

I want your smile

In last night’s dream, we were mouth to mouth

Both of us totally crazy after a wild night

In last night’s dream, I never took your clothes off

Because I have a feeling that in today’s dream, it’s our turn tonight

Because I can’t stop thinking about you (thinking about you)

I have that look on repeat (on repeat)

I’d love to tell you I love you

So the whole world knows

So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

I can’t take it anymore

Waking up and you’re not with me

Right here next to me, please, I’m begging you

Give me a chance

To connect with your body in another reality

Tell me, could we ever be real?

Please, give me a chance

Come on, mami, give me a chance

In last night’s dream, we were mouth to mouth

Both of us totally crazy after a wild night

In last night’s dream, I never took your clothes off

Because I have a feeling that in today’s dream, it’s our turn tonight

Tonight it’s our turn, turn, turn, turn

What’s going to happen, baby? I know

That you want it too

I want your eyes, I want your smile

Take you to the beach, get you out of the country and bite your neck

[Spanish]

Es momento de una nueva

Es momento de una nueva

Babylon girl

Yo quiero tus ojos, quiero tu sonrisa

Llevarte a la playa, sacarte la visa

Y morderte el cuello

Escondido' en Ibiza

Dormirme en tus nalga', abajito 'e las palma'

Ahí te la dejo, piénsalo con calma

Quiero tus ojos

Quiero tu sonrisa

En el sueño de anoche estábamos boca a boca

Los dos bien loco' después de una noche loca

En el sueño de anoche nunca te quité la ropa

Porque presiento que en el sueño de hoy en la noche nos toca

Porque no paro de pensar en ti (pienso en ti)

Esa mirada la tengo en repeat (en repeat)

Me encantaría decirte que te quiero

Para que se entere el mundo entero

Así que ven, ven, ven, ven, ven

No aguanto otra vez

Despertarme y que no estés conmigo

Aquí a mi lado, porfa, te lo pido

Dame la oportunidad

De conectarme con tu cuerpo en otra realidad

Dime si en algún momento tú y yo podríamos ser verdad

Porfa, dame la oportunidad

Anda, mami, dame la oportunidad

En el sueño de anoche estábamos boca a boca

Los dos bien locos después de una noche loca

En el sueño de anoche nunca te quité la ropa

Porque presiento que en el sueño de hoy en la noche nos toca

En la noche de hoy nos toca, toca, toca, toca

¿Qué va a ser, bebé? Yo sé

Que tú también quieres

Yo quiero tus ojos, quiero tu sonrisa

Llevarte a la playa, sacarte la visa y morderte el cuello

Key Grammar Structures

• Yo quiero tus ojos, quiero tu sonrisa

  ➔ Direct Object Pronouns & Verb 'Querer'

  ➔ The verb 'querer' (to want) is followed by direct object pronouns 'tus ojos' (your eyes) and 'tu sonrisa' (your smile). These pronouns indicate *what* is being wanted.

• Dormirme en tus nalga's, abajito 'e las palma's

  ➔ Gerund & Prepositional Phrase

  ➔ The gerund 'dormirme' (to fall asleep) functions as a noun, indicating the action of falling asleep *in* a location specified by the prepositional phrase 'en tus nalga's, abajito 'e las palma's' (in your hips, down below the palms).

• Porque no paro de pensar en ti (pienso en ti)

  ➔ Negative Sentence Structure & Reflexive Verb

  ➔ The sentence uses 'no paro de' (I don't stop) to express continuous thinking. 'Pensar en ti' (to think of you) uses the preposition 'en' which is essential when thinking *about* someone. The parenthetical 'pienso en ti' reinforces the meaning.

• Porque presiento que en el sueño de hoy en la noche nos toca

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood & Future Prediction

  ➔ The verb 'presiento' (I sense/I feel) triggers the subjunctive mood 'toca' (it's our turn). This expresses uncertainty or a possibility. 'En el sueño de hoy en la noche' (in tonight's dream) is a complex temporal phrase.
