[English]

A la orilla del mar te quiero besar

Tu cuerpo calentar, fuego celestial

Pero que fantasia, lo que te haria

Si te tuviera solito, bebito

En las nubes volar, un placer sin igual

Tu pecho acariciar mientras me haces gritar

Que triste que me traigas tanta toxicidad

Que veneno en mi vida, no lo puedo aguantar

Sos el pecado que quiero confesar

No quiero que me llames, pero si lo haces

Voy a caer, en tu garra

Mi Diablo, el me amarra

En la cama me da flama

Me pongo de rodillas porque soy tu santa

Lucifer del placer

Soy tu reina, tu esclava, y complacerte es mi deber

Ecstasy when we kiss

Cuando estas entre mis piernas, grito: "Don't leave me, please"

Dancing with the Devil

Feeling like a rebel

Hago lo que puedo, pero vos sos lo que quiero

Dancing with the Devil

Feeling like a rebel

Hago lo que puedo, pero vos sos lo que quiero

And I'm lost on the sweet emotion

In the moonlight kissed when we're touched by the sea

And under the sky, your passionate eyes

They take a hold of me

A twisted desire, I know you're liar

I'm playing with fire, I keep that thing higher

I crave your mouth and your touch

Your poison, the rush

I like it so much

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) When you feel my body

I fall into temptation

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Got me acting naughty

But sorry, I'm not sorry

Dancing with the Devil

Feeling like a rebel

Hago lo que puedo, pero vos sos lo que quiero

Dancing with the Devil

Feeling like a rebel

Hago lo que puedo, pero vos sos lo que quiero
