[English]

Passionate about the illuminated night

Of alcohol and synthesized substances

They make her feel bad, they make her feel good but she's so bad

That you can't even rescue her anymore, and she's leaving us

She wants to fly, she wants to fly

Are you ready?

Electro Latino!

She goes crazy

I look at him and she bites her mouth

She thinks I'm an idiot

She knows that everyone touches her

But she likes how she moves and asks for tra, tra, tra

I want a little bit of your tra, tra, tra

She doesn't realize when she goes, goes, goes

The drug made her float

But she likes how she feels and doesn't stop taking poison

And at night it corners her in the dark

And she doesn't move anymore, she can't anymore

She has no strength to fight

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

...

She goes crazy

I look at him and she bites her mouth

She thinks I'm an idiot

She knows that everyone touches her

Tra, tra, tra, I want a little bit of your tra, tra, tra

She doesn't realize when she goes, goes, goes

The drug made her float

But she likes how she moves and asks for tra, tra, tra

She wants a little bit of your tra, tra, tra

She doesn't realize when she goes, goes, goes

The drug made her float

...

[Spanish]

Apasionada por la noche iluminada

De alcohol y de sustancias que es sintetizadas

La ponen mal, le hacen sentir bien pero está tan mal

Que no la puedes ya ni rescatar, y se nos va

Ella quiere volar, ella quiere volar

Are you ready?

¡Electro latino!

Ella se vuelve loca-ca

Lo miro y se muerde en la boca-ca

Se piensa que soy un idiotata

Sabe que to' el mundo la toca-ca

Pero le gusta cómo se mueve y le pide tra, tra, tra

Quiero un poquito de tu tra, tra, tra

No se da cuenta cuando va, va, va

La droga la puso a flotar-tar-tar

Pero le gusta cómo se siente y no deja de tomar veneno

Y a noche la acorrala en lo oscuro

Y no se mueve más, no puede más

No tiene fuerzas pa' luchar

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ella se vuelve loca-ca

Lo miro y se muerde en la boca-ca

Se piensa que soy un idiota-ta

Sabe que to' el mundo la toca-ca-ca-ca

Tra, tra, tra, quiero un poquito de tu tra, tra, tra

No se da cuenta cuando va, va, va

La droga la puso a flotar-tar-tar

Pero le gusta cómo se mueve y le pide tra, tra, tra

Quiere un poquito de tu tra, tra, tra

No se da cuenta cuando va, va, va

La droga la puso a flotar-tar-tar
