[English]

We are the ones who are going to dance at the club

It's not love, what I'm looking for tonight, friends

We are the ones who set the rhythm on the dance floor

First to arrive, always last to leave

Mystery hides among the lights

Deeper than the night

Is that this crowd welcomes me

And we dance without asking each other our names

The vampires don't hunt me

The wolves don't catch me

You stayed at home

The vampires don't hunt me

The wolves don't catch me

We are the ones who are going to dance at the club

It's not love, what I'm looking for tonight, friends

We are the ones who set the rhythm on the dance floor (oh, oh, oh-oh)

First to arrive, always last to leave

Mystery hides among the lights

Deeper than the night

Is that this crowd welcomes me

And we dance without asking each other our names

The vampires don't hunt me

The wolves don't catch me

You stayed at home

The vampires don't hunt me

The wolves don't catch me

Let's go down a little more

A little, a little, a little more

Let's bring it down a little more

A little, a little, a little. More

Ehhhh, eh-eh, eh-eh

Ehhhh, eh-eh, eh-eh

Ehhhh, eh-eh, eh-eh

[Spanish]

Somos los que vamos a bailar en la disco

No es amor, lo que busco esta noche amigos

Somos los que en la pista imponemos el ritmo

Primeros en llegar, siempre últimos en irnos

Entre las luces se esconde el misterio

Más profundo de la noche

Es que esta multitud me acoge

Y bailamos sin preguntarnos nuestros nombres

Los vampiros no me cazan

Los lobos no me atrapan

Tú te quedaste en casa

Los vampiros no me cazan

Los lobos no me atrapan

Somos los que vamos a bailar en la disco

No es amor, lo que busco esta noche amigos

Somos los que en la pista imponemos el ritmo (oh, oh, oh-oh)

Primeros en llegar, siempre últimos en irnos

Entre las luces se esconde el misterio

Más profundo de la noche

Es que esta multitud me acoge

Y bailamos sin preguntarnos nuestros nombres

Los vampiros no me cazan

Los lobos no me atrapan

Tú te quedaste en casa

Los vampiros no me cazan

Los lobos no me atrapan

Bajemos un poco más

Un poco, un poco, un poco más

Bajémosle un poco más

Un poco, un poco, un poco. Más

Ehhhh, eh-eh, eh-eh

Ehhhh, eh-eh, eh-eh

Ehhhh, eh-eh, eh-eh
