[English]

Tonight is the perfect night

Get ready, my queen, because today I'm taking you out

I want to sing some songs to you, brushing against your lips

So you won't be able to resist kissing me

Tonight is the perfect night

We're going to drive around taking in the whole city

Come closer, I don't bite, only when we're alone

Tell me if you believe in love, but the real kind

Today I'm going to win you over like no one ever has

And I'm going to make you fall in love until you're sleeping on my chest

Today I'm going to win you over, that's a done deal

For you, I'm your slave, your errand boy, and even your fool

Here it goes, baby

How about we head up to the mountains

And buy a little something to drink

And then later on, we'll see if you give me a little kiss

That's how Calle 24 sounds, baby girl

Tonight is the perfect night

I don't know if you know, but I'm very stubborn and I want you

Snuggle into my arms, I will take care of you

To make you feel like you're falling in love for the first time

Today I'm going to win you over like no one ever has

Today I'm going to make you fall in love until you're sleeping on my chest

Today I'm going to win you over, that's a done deal

For you, I'm your slave, your errand boy, and even your fool

Uh

And just for you, my girl

[Spanish]

Hoy es la noche perfecta

Ya alístese, mi reina, que hoy la sacaré a pasear

Quiero cantarle unas canciones, rozando sus labios

Que no se pueda resistir a quererme besar

Hoy es la noche perfecta

Vamos a recorrer tomando toda la ciudad

Arrímese, no muerdo, nomás en la intimidad

Dígame si cree en el amor, pero ese del real

Hoy voy a conquistarla como nadie lo ha hecho

Y voy a enamorarla hasta poder tenerla dormida en mi pecho

Hoy voy a conquistarla, que eso está más que hecho

Por usted soy su esclavo, soy su mandadero y hasta su pendejo

Ahí te va, chiquiona

Qué tal y si nos subimos a la sierrita

Y compramos un seicito

Y ahí despuecito vemos si me da un besito

Así suena la Calle 24, chiquitita

Hoy es la noche perfecta

No sé si sepa, pero soy bien terco y yo la quiero a usted

Acurrúquese en mis brazos, yo la cuidaré

Hacerla sentir que está amando por primera vez

Hoy voy a conquistarla como nadie lo ha hecho

Hoy voy a enamorarla hasta poder tenerla dormida en mi pecho

Hoy voy a conquistarla, eso está más que hecho

Por usted soy su esclavo, soy su mandadero y hasta su pendejo

Uh

Y nomás por ti, mi niña

Fuerza Regida
