[English]

Honey, let me tell you something

You don't dare stand there with your arms folded

Don't act too cute and sweet

'Cause when the bass drops

You better praise it like it saved your life

This ain't just music, sugar

This is healing and cleansing

This is church to the beat

And you just walked through the door, door

Door, door, door, door

Door, door, door, door

Door, door, door, door

Door, door, door, door

Door, door, door, door

Tonight we're going to drink away all our sorrows

To party and dance through the rain

Life is rushing through my veins

And I just let it flow, oh

And I don't know what will happen tonight

But it has a certain something that's got me losing control

I looked at the moon and I said to it with a look, a look

I dressed up pretty just so you would tell me

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Epa, epa, epa

Don't hold it in, just let it loose

Tonight, we love with no excuse

Gone are the days where you had one life

Tonight's the night that we all get two

Living the now, living the truth

Under the sky, hands to the roof

Come on, baby, come on

And I don't know what will happen tonight

But it has a certain something, it's got me losing control

I looked at the moon and I said to it with a look, a look

I dressed up pretty just so you would tell me

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Epa, epa, epa

I dressed up pretty just so you would tell me

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Oop, epa, epa, epa

Epa, epa, epa

The moment, live it

Go low, move it

Don't think about it, just follow it

I know you want it, I know you want it

The moment, enjoy it

If you love her, tell her

Don't think about it, feel it

I know you want it, I know you want it

Hoy vamos a bebernos toa' las penas

A vacilar y bailarnos las lluvias

Si la amas, tú díselo

No la pienses, tú siéntelo

Sé que quieres, sé que quieres
