[English]

Whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (whoa)

Whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (uh)

Take me back, take me back to the memory

Straight tequila, drinking on that empty beach

Tell me was, was it all just fantasy?

When I woke up, you were laying next to me

So let me be honest

No broken promises

Without a warning

She stole my heart, Mexico-oh-oh-oh-oh

Mexico-oh-oh-oh-oh

She let a mark on my so-oh-oh-oh-oul

Viva la vida, my ho-oh-oh-me

She stole my heart, Mexico

Mexico, Mexico (oh-oh-oh)

She stole my heart, Mexico

Aquella noche que perdimos el control

Solo nos conectaba el ritmo y el calor

No, no, no pares, no

Yo fui quien te robo

No, no el corazón

Esa noche en México

Let's not pretend it's right here

It's not our destiny

I wanna spend this night, just you and me (oh, whoa)

Dale suave, que no pare, que me vuelves loca-ah

Dale suave, que no acabe

She stole my heart, Mexico-oh-oh-oh-oh

Mexico-oh-oh-oh-oh

She let a mark on my so-oh-oh-oh-oul (I stole your heart in Mexico)

Viva la vida, my ho-oh-oh-me

She stole my heart, Mexico-oh-oh-oh-oh

Mexico, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

She let a mark on my so-oh-oh-oh-oul

Viva la vida, my ho-oh-oh-me

She stole my heart, Mexico

Mexico

Mexico (canta y no llores), oh

She stole my heart, Mexico
