Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Ella baila con swing

She dances with swing

Y eso me gusta a mi

And I like that

Veloz como un jaro de Sosa

Fast like a Sosa's home run

Esta rica, esta sabrosa

She's hot, she's tasty

Mírenla bien

Take a good look at her

Ella es todo para mi

She is everything to me

Soy su perro fiel

I'm her loyal dog

La quiero muy dentro de mi

I love her deep inside me

Ella me atrapa con su red

She traps me with her net

Con sus encantos de mujer

With her womanly charms

Tantas veces quise creer

So many times I wanted to believe

Para luego perder la fe

Only to lose faith later

Pero recuerdo el ayer

But I remember yesterday

Aquellas noches de placer

Those nights of pleasure

Nunca me bastan, quiero más, más

They're never enough, I want more, more

Dame la libertad, más, más

Give me freedom, more, more

Para entrar en tu alma, hacerte sonar

To enter your soul, make you sound

Suelta las riendas, pierde el control

Release the reins, lose control

Mueve ese cuerpo, hazlo con sabor

Move that body, do it with flavor

Y ahora dale no pare, no dejes de bailar

And now go, don't stop, don't stop dancing

Que la vida es una fiesta, goza

Life is a party, enjoy it

...

...

Ando muy feliz

I'm very happy

Vagando por ahí

Wandering around

No me hables de problemas

Don't talk to me about problems

Mi templo es puro, soy de roca

My temple is pure, I am made of rock

Que bello es vivir

How beautiful it is to live

Sin miedo de seguir

Without fear of continuing

Mírenla bien

Take a good look at her

La quiero muy dentro de mi

I love her deep inside me

Ella me atrapa con su red

She traps me with her net

Con sus encantos de mujer

With her womanly charms

Tantas veces quise creer

So many times I wanted to believe

Para luego perder le fe

Only to lose faith later

Pero recuerdo el ayer

But I remember yesterday

Aquellas noches de placer

Nunca me bastan, quiero más, más

Dame la libertad, más, más

Y ahora dale no pare, no dejes de bailar

Que la vida es una fiesta, goza

Life is a party, enjoy it
