[English]

It's just that we haven't done it passionately in a long time

(Don't get nervous)

So many stories we used to have

They've faded into unconsciousness

You're tempting me to make you mine

Play that song from that day for us again

A reggaeton in the dark was what she wanted

And if you danced it with me, it would be even better

A reggaeton in the dark, what she wanted

And if you danced it with me, it would be even better

(Mami, I know what you want)

Grinding in the dark, hard, hard, hard

You have a bright future

I'll catch you in the corner (Hard)

Come on, press against the wall and let's dance without rushing

Baby, if you dance with me, I'll set the system for you

Gorgeous

Fine, however you want it

She doesn't like smooth talk or cheap lines

I'm her man

Your face gives you away

Why don't you move all that and drive me crazy?

A reggaeton in the dark was what she wanted

And if you danced it with me, it would be even better

A reggaeton in the dark, what she wanted

And if you danced it with me, it would be even better

(Come on, let the party start)

Why don't we dance?

And let our bodies touch

Let's have a tequila

And get hot together

Why don't we dance?

And let our bodies touch

Let's have a tequila

And get hot together

(Everyone keep going, don't pull away)

Baby, I want to kiss you

Seriously

It's just that when you dance, there's a mystery about you

That drives me wild

You make me tremble

Let's go outside

Baby, turn off your phone

Your perfume smells so good!

Your magic consumes me

Crazy and tight

And her body shows it off

She likes it in the dark where no one can see her

Everyone desires her

But W is the one who takes her out

It's just that we haven't done it in a long time

Passionately

So many stories we had, they've faded into unconsciousness

You're tempting me to make you mine

Play that song from that day for us again

A reggaeton in the dark was what she wanted

And if you danced it with me, it would be even better

A reggaeton in the dark, what she wanted

And if you danced it with me, it would be even better

A reggaeton in the dark

What she wanted

A reggaeton in the dark

What she wanted

Ladies, fasten your seatbelts and hold on tight

The real turbulence has arrived (Yeah)

[Spanish]

Es que hace tiempo no lo hacíamos apasionadamente

(No te pongas nerviosa)

Tantas historias que teníamos

Quedaron inconscientes

Estás tentándome a hacerte mía

Que nos vuelvan a poner la canción de aquel día

Un reggaetón en lo oscuro era lo que ella quería

Y si por mí la bailaras, mejor todavía

Un reggaetón en lo oscuro, lo que quería

Y si por mí la bailaras, mejor todavía

(Mami yo sé lo que tú quieres)

Un perreo en lo oscuro du, du, du duro

Tú tienes futuro

En la esquina te capturo (Duro)

Dale pégate al muro y bailemos sin apuro

Baby, si bailas conmigo el sistema, te lo configuro

Mamasota

Rica, como quiera que la pongas

No le gusta la cotorra ni la labia monga

Yo soy su papá

Tu cara te delata

¿Por qué no mueves todo eso y me desbaratas?

Un reggaetón en lo oscuro era lo que ella quería

Y si por mí la bailaras, mejor todavía

Un reggaeton en lo oscuro, lo que quería

Y si por mí la bailaras, mejor todavía

(Dale que empiece la rumba)

¿Por qué no bailamos?

Y los cuerpos rozamos

Un tequila nos damos

Y juntos nos calentamos

¿Por qué no bailamos?

Y los cuerpos rozamos

Un tequila nos damos

Y juntos nos calentamos

(Todos seguimos, no te despégues)

Baby, te quiero besar

En serio

Es que cuando tú bailas tienes un misterio

Que me pone mal

Tú me haces temblar

Nos vamos a afuera

Baby, apaga el celular

¡Qué rico tu perfume!

Tu magia me consume

Loca apretada

Y el cuerpo lo presume

Le gusta en lo oscuro donde nadie la vea

Todos la desean

Pero W es el que la pasea

Es que hace tiempo no lo hacíamos

Apasionadamente

Tantas historias que teníamos, quedaron inconscientes

Estás tentándome a hacerte mía

Que nos vuelvan a poner la canción de aquel día

Un reggaetón en lo oscuro era lo que ella quería

Y si por mí la bailaras, mejor todavía

Un reggaetón en lo oscuro, lo que quería

Y si por mí la bailaras, mejor todavía

Un reggaetón en lo oscuro

Lo que quería

Un reggaetón en lo oscuro

Lo que quería

Señoritas se abrochan el cinturón y se amarran a dos manos

Llegó la verdadera turbulencia (Yeah)

Los líderes
