[English]

Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it

Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it

Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it

You're flirty, I'm flirty

You and I make a good duet

You're a wild one and I'm insane

I'll stay with you until my teeth fall out

I've got a simple proposal for you

Let's mix together like bread and butter

Like refried beans with guacamole

Blended well, like rice and beans

We were born with loose legs

Let's go back, back to the '80s

Back when Madonna was a virgin

And John Travolta spun on the floor

A world of fluorescent colors

With no worries on your mind

All I want is a hot little kiss from you

So everyone else disappears

Hold me

Warm me

Touch me

Break the circuitry

Hold me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Warm me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Touch me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Break the circuitry

I'd do anything for you

I'd fight 300 ninjas in Korea

For you, I'd catch 500 dolphins and skate across the Andes

Wait for a minute, what you think you started (Uh-huh)

You're the type of guy that leaves her broken-hearted (What?)

If you think you're ready for one like this

Spit that clever rhyme on the next remix

I don't understand what you're saying

I hope you're not cursing me out

If you leave me and let me

We could even have triplets

I want to make you fly like Peter Pan

Over old San Juan

Later I'll sing you thirty serenades

By the moonlight next to a campfire

Hold me

Warm me

Touch me

Break the circuitry

Hold me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Warm me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Touch me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Break the circuitry

I bring you music with electromagnets

So you can move your whole skeleton

Music made with good vibes

So you jump like microwave popcorn

I want you to lose control

To smoke and mix pills with alcohol

Everyone wild, welcome to the jungle

Let's get ready to rumble!

Break the code

Free the hold

Within the circuitry of my soul

I can't wait for you to grow

Into the man you'll be when you're old

Uh-huh, you think I'm cold

But I'm just letting you know

You can't mess with a bold woman

It's now or never before I explode!

Homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals

Beast-lovers, pedophiles, heterosexuals

Dancing to the electro-movement

To dance to this, you don't need talent

Everyone doing the robot move

Everyone doing the robot move

Everyone doing the robot move

Everyone in the club dancing... Hey!

Hold me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Warm me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Touch me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Break the circuitry (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Hold me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Warm me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Touch me (Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it)

Break the circuitry

[Spanish]

Toca, toca, toca, toca

Toca, toca, toca, toca

Toca, toca, toca, toca

Tú estás coqueta, yo estoy coqueto

Tú y yo hacemos un buen dueto

Tú eres una loca y yo soy un demente

Contigo me quedo hasta que se me caigan los dientes

Te tengo una propuesta sencilla

Vamos a mezclarnos como pan con mantequilla

Como refrito con guacamole

Bien mezclado como arroz con frijoles

Nosotros nacimos con las piernas suelta'

Vámonos pa' atrás, pa' los años '80

Pa' cuando Madonna era virgen

Y John Travolta en el piso daba vueltas

Un mundo de colores fluorescentes

Sin preocupaciones en la mente

Yo lo que quiero es un besito tuyo, caliente

Pa' que se desaparezca la gente

Hold me

Warm me

Touch me

Break the circuitry

Hold me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Warm me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Touch me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Break the circuitry

Por ti yo hago lo que sea

Peleo contra 300 ninjas en Corea

Por ti pesco 500 delfines y cruzo la cordillera de los Andes en patines

Wait for a minute, what you're thinkin' that you started (Ajá)

You're the type guy that leaves her broken-hearted (¿Qué?)

If you think that you're ready for a dum like this

Spit that clever rhyme on the next remix

Yo no entiendo lo que estás diciendo

Yo espero que no me estés maldiciendo

Si tú me dejas y me das permiso

Podemos tener hasta trillizos

Te quiero hacer volar como Peter Pan

Por encima del viejo San Juan

Después te recito treinta serenatas

Bajo la luz de la Luna al la'o de una fogata

Hold me

Warm me

Touch me

Break the circuitry

Hold me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Warm me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Touch me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Break the circuitry

Yo te traigo música con electro-magnetos

Para que muevas todo el esqueleto

Música hecha con buena onda

Para que brinques como popcorn de microondas

Yo lo que quiero es que pierdan el control

Que fumen y mezclen pepas con alcohol

Todo el mundo salvaje, welcome to the jungle

Let's get ready to rumble!

Break the code

Free the hold

Within the circuitry of my soul

I can't wait for you to grow

Into the man you'll be when you're old

Ajá, you think I'm cold

But I'm just lettin' you know

You can't mess with the woman who's bold

Is now or never before I explode!

Homosexuales, lesbianas, bisexuales

Bestialistas, pedófilos, heterosexuales

Bailando el electro-movimiento

Para bailar esto no tienes que tener talento

Todo el mundo con el paso del robot

Todo el mundo con el paso del robot

Todo el mundo con el paso del robot

Todo el mundo en la disco bailando... ¡Wey!

Hold me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Warm me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Touch me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Break the circuitry (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Hold me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Warm me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Touch me (Toca, toca, toca, toca)

Break the circuitry
