[English]

Four hugs and a coffee

I barely woke up

And when I looked at you, I remembered

That I already found everything

Your hand in my hand

We escape from everything

Together watching the sun go down

Let's go to the beach

To heal your soul

Close the screen

Open a Medalla

The whole Caribbean Sea

Watching your waist

You flirt with it

You're a troublemaker and I like it

Slow and happy

Face to the wind

Slow and happy

Face to the wind

To feel the sand on our feet

So the sun paints our skin

To play like kids, give each other love like the first time

When I looked at you, I knew I'd be at your feet

Since your hand

And my hand touched

And we escape from everything

Together watching the sun go down

Let's go to the beach

To heal your soul

Close the screen

Open a Medalla

The whole Caribbean Sea

Watching your waist

You flirt with it

You're a troublemaker

Let's go to the beach

To heal your soul

Close the screen

Open a Medalla

The whole Caribbean Sea

Watching your waist

You flirt with it

You're a troublemaker and I like it

Slow and happy

Face to the wind

Slow and happy

Face to the wind

Calm, my love, calm

Nothing is missing if we are together walking

Calm, my love, calm

Nothing is missing if we are together dancing

Calm, my love, calm

Nothing is missing if we are together walking

Calm, my love, calm

Nothing is missing if we are together dancing

[Spanish]

Cuatro abrazos y un café

Apenas me desperté

Y al mirarte recordé

Que ya todo lo encontré

Tu mano en mi mano

De todo escapamos

Juntos ver el sol caer

Vamos pa' la playa

Pa' curarte el alma

Cierra la pantalla

Abre la Medalla

Todo el mar Caribe

Viendo tu cintura

Tú le coqueteas

Tú eres buscabullas y me gusta

Lento y contento

Cara al viento

Lento y contento

Cara al viento

Pa' sentir la arena en los pies

Pa' que el sol nos pinte la piel

Pa' jugar como niños, darnos cariño como la primera vez

Que te miré, yo supe que estaría a tus pies

Desde que se tocaron

Tu mano y mi mano

Y de todo escapamos

Juntos ver el sol caer

Vamos pa' la playa

Pa' curarte el alma

Cierra la pantalla

Abre la Medalla

Todo el Mar Caribe

Viendo tu cintura

Tú le coqueteas

Tú eres buscabullas

Vamos pa' la playa

Pa' curarte el alma

Cierra la pantalla

Abre la Medalla

Todo el Mar Caribe

Viendo tu cintura

Tú le coqueteas

Tú eres buscabullas y me gusta

Lento y contento

Cara al viento

Lento y contento

Cara al viento

Calma, mi vida, con calma

Que nada hace falta si estamos juntitos andando

Calma, mi vida, con calma

Que nada hace falta si estamos juntitos bailando

Calma, mi vida, con calma

Que nada hace falta si estamos juntitos andando

Calma, mi vida, con calma

Que nada hace falta si estamos juntitos bailando
