[English]

She is dancing alone (She is dancing alone)

She doesn't know what the poor one will face (the poor one)

It will be a clash so deadly (Ah)

That she'll never be able to forget me

The lord of the night

I am half man, half animal

The lord of the night

Better run or it'll kill you

The lord of the night

You shouldn't play with your heart

To me

To me

I'll make you rise to heaven

Fall and kiss the same hell

I will be your eternal pain

You so hot, I'm so cold

You, who were such an easy prey, you cry

You so free, now I live in your hours

There's something of me in you that haunts you

It controls your dreams and drives you crazy

The lord of the night

I am half man, half animal

The lord of the night

Better run or it'll kill you

The lord of the night

You shouldn't play with your heart

To me

To me

She dreamed of dancing with me on a Pegasus

And her heart is shattered

Your sentence was sealed with a hug

And the poison of my kisses was his downfall

Today she walks dying, wounded

In this dead-end alley

Directionless, completely lost

Wishing to lose her life

The lord of the night

I am half man, half animal

The lord of the night

Better run or it'll kill you

The lord of the night

You shouldn't play with your heart

To me

To me

She is dancing alone (She is dancing alone)

She doesn't know what the poor one will face (the poor one)

It will be a clash so deadly (Ah)

That she'll never be able to forget me

The lord of the night

The lord of the night

The lord of the night

The lord of the night

The lord of the night

[Spanish]

Bailando sola está (Bailando sola está)

No sabe a qué se va a enfrentar la pobre (La pobre)

Será un choque tan mortal (Ah)

Que jamás podrá olvidarme a mí

El señor de la noche

Soy mitad hombre mitad animal

El señor de la noche

Mejor escapa o te va a matar

El señor de la noche

Con tu corazón no deberías jugar

A mí

A mí

Que te haré subir al cielo

Bajar y besar el mismo infierno

Yo que seré tu dolor eterno

Tú tan caliente, yo tan invierno

Tú que fuiste presa tan fácil lloras

Tú tan libre, ahora vivo yo en tus horas

Hay algo en ti de mí que te azora

Que tus sueños controla y te descontrola

El señor de la noche

Soy mitad hombre mitad animal

El señor de la noche

Mejor escapa o te va a matar

El señor de la noche

Con tu corazón no deberías jugar

A mí

A mí

Soñó bailar conmigo en un Pegaso

Y tiene el corazón hecho pedazos

Tu sentencia la firmó un abrazo

Y el veneno de mis besos fue su fracaso

Hoy camina moribunda, herida

En este callejón sin salida

Sin rumbo, toda perdida

Deseando perder la vida

El señor de la noche

Soy mitad hombre, mitad animal

El señor de la noche

Mejor escapa o te va a matar

El señor de la noche

Con tu corazón no deberías jugar

A mí

A mí

Bailando sola está (Bailando sola está)

No sabe a qué se va a enfrentar la pobre (La pobre)

Será un choque tan mortal (Ah)

Que jamás podrá olvidarme a mí

El señor de la noche

El señor de la noche

El señor de la noche

El señor de la noche

El señor de la noche
