[English]

She's got the vibe, my boy

Dance all night, my boy

Eyes on me, my boy

Midnight heat, we go deeper

She's got the vibe, my boy (Yeah)

Dance all night, my boy

Come real close, my boy (Yeah)

Midnight heat, we go deeper

Clean look, yeah, you know the vibe

Silk dress shining under neon lights

One look got me hypnotized

Can't lie, you're my type

Slow moves when you come my way

My heartbeat won't behave

No rush, we can just drift away

Right now, we don't need names

Ohh, ohh

She's got that vibe, my boy

Dance all night, my boy

Eyes on me, my boy

Midnight heat, we go deeper

She's got that vibe, my boy

Dance all night, my boy

Come real close, my boy

Midnight heat, we go deeper

Slow moves when you come my way

Heartbeat don't wanna behave

No rush, we can drift away

Right now we don't need no names
