[English]

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

There were hardly many people left in the bar

And we were looking at each other

You, who I didn't like

You started to grow on me

And we began undressing each other

With just a look, baby

Without saying a word

I looked at you and you came a little closer to me

The wrong light

And I was out of control

The sweaty little hand

Came close to me

But we kept getting closer

And while the night was falling

I fell in love

Just hanging out alone

We had such a great time

We even arrived at the car dancing

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

That we both are a mambo

That's what they'd say in Argentina

But, love, they don't understand

That what we have really works

If we love each other for two days

But we forget the twelve

Baby, who cares?

If you and I are just a routine

And don't change the song

I don't want to leave

I want to devour you whole

I didn't mean to

End up like this

I don't know what happened

But we kept getting closer

And while the night was falling

I fell in love

Just hanging out alone

We had such a great time

We even arrived at the car dancing

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

And don't change the song

I don't want to leave

I want to devour you whole

I didn't mean to

End up like this

I don't know what happened

But we kept getting closer

And while the night was falling

I fell in love

Just hanging out alone

We had such a great time

We even arrived at the car dancing

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

A mambo, you and I, oh oh oh

[Spanish]

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ya casi no quedaba mucha gente en el bar

Y nosotros mirándonos

Tú, que no me gustabas

Me empezaste a gustar

Y fuimos desnudándonos

Con la mirada, baby

Sin decir nada

Te miré y te acercabas un poquito a mí

La luz desacertada

Y yo descontrolada

La manita sudada

Acercó a mí

Pero nos fuimos pegando

Y mientras que caía la noche

Me fui enamorando

Solito botando

Tan rico la pasamos

Que al coche llegamos bailando

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Que los dos somos un mambo

Eso dirían en Argentina

Pero, amores, ellos no entienden

Que lo nuestro sí camina

Si dos días nos amamos

Pero doce se nos olvida

Baby, ¿a quién nos importa?

Si tú y yo somos rutina

Y no cambien de canción

No me quiero ir

Yo quiero comerte entero

No tenía intención

De acabar así

No sé qué pasó

Pero nos fuimos pegando

Y mientras que caía la noche

Me fui enamorando

Solito botando

Tan rico la pasamos

Que al coche llegamos bailando

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Y no cambien de canción

No me quiero ir

Yo quiero comerte entero

No tenía intención

De acabar así

No sé qué pasó

Pero nos fuimos pegando

Y mientras que caía la noche

Me fui enamorando

Solito botando

Tan rico la pasamos

Que al coche llegamos bailando

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh

Un mambo tú y yo, oh oh oh
