[English]

Yes, yes

Even though I was looking, I still keep your place for you

And, no matter how hard I try, I know that no one will change you (Mmh)

I hardly sleep anymore because I'm always checking my phone

Just in case you forgot that you didn't want to call me

My body needs you

My mouth needs you (Uh, yeah)

Why don't you come right now?

Because I'm dying to kiss your mouth, baby

It's been a while since I've dreamed of tasting it again

Because you dance like no one else knows how to dance

You resemble the beach and the waves of the sea (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

If I don't have you, I die (I die, no, no)

You're not here, and jealousy kills me

I lose my breath if you leave (Don't go)

Because life is slipping away from me

Baby, yes, I want you for myself (For myself, for myself)

I don't want to share you

Like ice in the desert, I melt for you (Like ice in the desert)

Because when you're far away (When you're not here)

I feel like I'm getting old (Old)

Time doesn't pass for me

Because I'm dying to kiss your mouth, baby

It's been a while since I've dreamed of tasting it again

Because you dance like no one else knows how to dance

You resemble the beach and the waves of the sea (To the beach, baby)

Na, na, na, na, eh, I want you with me (I want you with me)

Na, na, na, na, eh, please, I'm asking you

Na, na, na, na, eh, I want you with me

Na, na, na, na, eh, please, I'm asking you

Even though I was looking, I still keep your place for you

And, no matter how hard I try, I know that no one will change you

My body needs you (Needs you)

My mouth needs you (Needs you)

Why don't you come right now?

Because I'm dying to kiss your mouth, baby (Because I'm dying)

It's been a while since I've dreamed of tasting it again (I want to taste it)

Because you dance like no one else knows how to dance (Yeah)

You resemble the beach and the waves of the sea (Of the sea, of the sea, of the sea)

Na, na, na, na, eh, I want you with me

Na, na, na, na, eh-eh

Because I'm dying to kiss your mouth, baby

It's been a while since I've dreamed of tasting it again (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Because you dance like no one else knows how to dance

You resemble the beach and the waves of the sea

[Spanish]

Sí, sí

Aunque estaba buscando yo sigo guardándote a ti el lugar

Y, por más que lo intente yo sé que ninguno te va a cambiar (Mmh)

Yo ya casi no duermo por andar mirando mi celular

Por si acaso, a ti se te olvidaba que no me querías llamar

Mi cuerpo te necesita

Mi boca te necesita (Uh, yeh)

¿Por qué no vienes ahorita?

Que me muero por besarte la boca, mamá

Hace tiempo que me sueño volverla a probar

Porque bailas como nadie más sabe bailar

Te pareces a la playa y las olas del mar (Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, aoh)

Si yo no te tengo me muero (Me muero, no, no)

Tú no estás y me matan los celos

Se me va el aire, si tú te vas (No te vayas)

Porque la vida se me va yendo

Baby, sí, yo te quiero para mí (Para mí, para mí)

No te quiero compartir

Como hielo en el desierto yo me derrito por ti (Como hielo en el desierto)

Porque cuando tú estás lejos (Cuando tú no estás)

Siento que me pongo viejo (Viejo)

Que no se me pasa el tiempo

Que me muero por besarte la boca, mamá

Hace tiempo que me sueño volverla a probar

Porque bailas como nadie más sabe bailar

Te pareces a la playa y las olas del mar (A la playa, mami)

Na, na, na, na, eh, yo te quiero conmigo (Yo te quiero conmigo)

Na, na, na, na, eh, por favor, te lo pido

Na, na, na, na, eh, yo te quiero conmigo

Na, na, na, na, eh, por favor, te lo pido

Aunque estaba buscando yo sigo guardándote a ti el lugar

Y, por más que lo intente, yo sé que ninguno te va a cambiar

Mi cuerpo te necesita (Te necesita)

Mi boca te necesita (Te necesita)

¿Por qué no vienes ahorita?

Que me muero por besarte la boca, mamá (Que me muero)

Hace tiempo que me sueño volverla a probar (Yo la quiero probar)

Porque bailas como nadie más sabe bailar (Yeah)

Te pareces a la playa y las olas del mar (Del mar, del mar, del mar)

Na, na, na, na, eh, yo te quiero conmigo

Na, na, na, na, eh-eh

Que me muero por besarte la boca, mamá

Hace tiempo que me sueño volverla a probar (Yah, yah, yah)

Porque bailas como nadie más sabe bailar

Te pareces a la playa y las olas del mar

(Mau y Ricky)

(Camilo, mmh)
