Descemer

I look at you and I lose my breath.

When you look at me, my heart soars.

My heart beats slowly.

And in a silence, your gaze says a thousand words (uh).

The night when I beg you for the sun not to rise.

Dancing (dancing),

dancing (dancing),

your body and mine filling the void,

going up and down (going up and down).

Dancing (dancing),

dancing (dancing),

that fire inside is driving me crazy,

it's saturating me.

With your physics and your chemistry, and also your anatomy,

the beer and the tequila, and your mouth with mine,

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore)

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore).

With this melody, your color, your fantasy,

with your philosophy my head is empty.

And I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore).

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore).

I want to be with you,

live with you, dance with you,

to have a crazy night with you.

(a crazy night)

Ay, to kiss your mouth (and kiss your mouth).

I want to be with you,

live with you, dance with you,

to have a crazy night with you,

on a tremendous high.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

You look at me and take me to another dimension.

(I'm in another dimension).

Your heartbeats accelerate my heart.

(Your heartbeats accelerate my heart).

What an irony of fate not being able to touch you (wuh!).

To embrace you and feel the magic of your scent.

Dancing (dancing),

dancing (dancing),

your body and mine filling the void,

going up and down (going up and down).

Dancing (dancing),

dancing (dancing),

that fire inside is driving me crazy,

it's saturating me.

With your physics and your chemistry, and also your anatomy,

the beer and the tequila and your mouth with mine,

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore),

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore).

With this melody, your color, your fantasy,

with your philosophy my head is empty.

And I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore),

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore).

I want to be with you,

live with you, dance with you,

to have a crazy night with you (a crazy night).

Ay, to kiss your mouth (and kiss your mouth)

I want to be with you, live with you, dance with you,

to have a crazy night with you,

on a tremendous high.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh (dancing love).

Oh, oh, oh, oh (dancing love).

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

(It's that the pain goes away). Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Descemer

Yo te miro y se me corta la respiración.

Cuando tú me miras, se me sube el corazón.

Me palpita lento el corazón.

Y en un silencio tu mirada dice mil palabras (uh).

La noche en la que te suplico que no salga el sol.

Bailando (bailando),

bailando (bailando),

tu cuerpo y el mío llenando el vacío,

subiendo y bajando (subiendo y bajando).

Bailando (bailando),

bailando (bailando),

ese fuego por dentro me va enloqueciendo,

me va saturando.

Con tu física y tu química, también tu anatomía,

la cerveza y el tequila, y tu boca con la mía,

ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)

ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más).

Con esta melodía, tu color, tu fantasía,

con tu filosofía mi cabeza está vacía.

Y ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más).

Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más).

Yo quiero estar contigo,

vivir contigo, bailar contigo,

tener contigo una noche loca.

(una noche loca)

Ay, besar tu boca (y besar tu boca).

Yo quiero estar contigo,

vivir contigo, bailar contigo,

tener contigo una noche loca

con tremenda nota

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Tú me miras y me llevas a otra dimensión.

(Estoy en otra dimensión).

Tus latidos aceleran a mi corazón.

(Tus latidos aceleran a mi corazón).

Qué ironía del destino no poder tocarte (¡wuh!).

Abrazarte y sentir la magia de tu olor.

Bailando (bailando),

bailando (bailando),

tu cuerpo y el mío llenando el vacío,

subiendo y bajando (subiendo y bajando).

Bailando (bailando),

bailando (bailando),

ese fuego por dentro me va enloqueciendo,

me va saturando.

Con tu física y tu química, también tu anatomía,

la cerveza y el tequila y tu boca con la mía

ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más),

ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más).

Con esta melodía, tu color, tu fantasía,

con tu filosofía mi cabeza está vacía.

Y ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más),

ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más).

Yo quiero estar contigo,

vivir contigo, bailar contigo,

tener contigo una noche loca (una noche loca).

Ay, besar tu boca (y besar tu boca)

Yo quiero estar contigo, vivir contigo, bailar contigo,

tener contigo una noche loca

con tremenda nota.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh (bailando amor).

Oh, oh, oh, oh (bailando amor).

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

(Es que se me va el dolor). Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Key Grammar Structures

• Yo te miro y se me corta la respiración.

  ➔ Reflexive Verb 'cortarse' with 'se'

  ➔ The verb 'cortarse' (to be cut, to stop) is used reflexively here, indicating that the breath is being cut short *on its own* due to the effect of seeing the other person. The 'se' indicates this reflexive action. 'Se me corta' implies the action is happening *to me*.

• Cuando tú me miras, se me sube el corazón.

  ➔ Reflexive verb 'subirse' with 'se'.

  ➔ Similar to the first example, 'subirse' (to rise, to go up) is used reflexively. 'Se me sube el corazón' means 'my heart rises/jumps'. The 'se' indicates that the heart is rising *on its own* (involuntarily).

• La noche en la que te suplico que no salga el sol.

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (que no salga)

  ➔ The verb 'salir' (to leave, to go out, to rise) is used in the subjunctive mood ('salga') because it follows the verb of request 'suplicar' (to beg, to implore). When expressing a desire, doubt, possibility, or necessity, the subjunctive is often used after 'que'.

• tu cuerpo y el mío llenando el vacío, subiendo y bajando

  ➔ Gerund (llenando, subiendo, bajando) describing a state while dancing.

  ➔ The gerund forms ('llenando', 'subiendo', 'bajando') describe actions that are happening simultaneously with the main action of dancing. They express the continuous, ongoing nature of these actions during the dance. In this case they emphasize filling, rising and falling.

• Con tu física y tu química, también tu anatomía

  ➔ Repetition of 'tu' (your) for emphasis.

  ➔ The repetition of the possessive adjective 'tu' (your) emphasizes the singer's infatuation with every aspect of the other person – their physics, their chemistry, and their anatomy.

• con tu filosofía mi cabeza está vacía

  ➔ 'Estar' (to be) to describe a temporary state ('vacía')

  ➔ The verb 'estar' is used with 'vacía' (empty) to describe a temporary state. 'Mi cabeza está vacía' means 'my head is empty'. 'Estar' is generally used for temporary conditions, locations, feelings, or states.
