Get into the mood and sing along to Enrique Iglesias’s Bailando (track #5)
Yo te miro, se me corta la respiración
Cuando tú me miras se me sube el corazón
(Me palpita lento el corazón)
Y en silencio tu mirada dice mil palabras
La noche en la que te suplico que no salga el sol
Chorus:
(Bailando, bailando, bailando, bailando)
Tu cuerpo y el mío llenando el vacío
Subiendo y bajando (subiendo y bajando)
(Bailando, bailando, bailando, bailando)
Ese fuego por dentro me va enloqueciendo
Me va saturando
Con tu física y tu química también tu anatomía
La cerveza y el tequila y tu boca con la mía
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Con esta melodía, tu color, tu fantasía
Con tu filosofía mi cabeza está vacía
Y ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Yo quiero estar contigo, vivir contigo
Bailar contigo, tener contigo
Una noche loca (una noche loca)
Ay besar tu boca (y besar tu boca)
Yo quiero estar contigo, vivir contigo
Bailar contigo, tener contigo una noche loca
Con tremenda nota
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
Tú me miras y me llevas a otra dimensión
(Estoy en otra dimensión)
Tus latidos aceleran a mi corazón
(Tus latidos aceleran a mi corazón)
Que ironía del destino no poder tocarte
Abrazarte y sentir la magia de tu olor
(Bailando, bailando, bailando, bailando)
Tu cuerpo y el mío llenando el vacío
Subiendo y bajando (subiendo y bajando)
(Bailando, bailando, bailando, bailando)
Ese fuego por dentro me va enloqueciendo
Me va saturando
Con tu física y tu química también tu anatomía
La cerveza y el tequila y tu boca con la mía
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Con esta melodía, tu color, tu fantasía
Con tu filosofía mi cabeza está vacía
Y ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Yo quiero estar contigo, vivir contigo
Bailar contigo, tener contigo
Una noche loca (una noche loca)
Ay besar tu boca (y besar tu boca)
Yo quiero estar contigo, vivir contigo
Bailar contigo, tener contigo una noche loca
Con tremenda nota
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, etc
Bailando amor ooooh es que se me va el dolor
Ooooh)
I see you and this takes my breath away
When you look at me I feel my heart
(My heart beats slowly)
And in silence your look tells a thousand of words
The night when I'm begging of you not to let the sun rise
Chorus:
(Dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing)
Your body and mine filling the void
Moving up and down (up and down)
(Dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing)
That fire inside me is driving me crazy
It's filling me up
With your physics and your chemistry and your anatomy
Beer and tequila and your mouth with mine
And I can't take it any more (I can't take it any more)
And I can't take it any more (I can't take it any more)
With this tune, your colour, your fantasy
With your philosophy my head is empty
And I can't take it any more (I can't take it any more)
And I can't take it any more (I can't take it any more)
I want to be with you, to live with you
To dance with you, to have
A crazy night with you (a crazy night)
And kiss your mouth (kiss your mouth)
I want to be with you, to live with you
To dance with you, to have a crazy night with you,
An awesome one
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
You look at me and take me to another dimension
(I'm in another dimension)
Your heartbeats accelerate my heart
(Your heartbeats accelerate my heart)
What irony of fate not being able to touch you
embrace you and feel the magic of your smell
(Dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing)
Your body and mine filling the void
Moving up and down (up and down)
(Dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing)
That fire inside me is driving me crazy
It's filling me up
With your physics and your chemistry and your anatomy
Beer and tequila and your mouth with mine
And I can't take it any more (I can't take it any more)
And I can't take it any more (I can't take it any more)
With this tune, your colour, your fantasy
With your philosophy my head is empty
And I can't take it any more (I can't take it any more)
And I can't take it any more (I can't take it any more)
I want to be with you, to live with you
To dance with you, to have
A crazy night with you (a crazy night)
And kiss your mouth (kiss your mouth)
I want to be with you, to live with you,
To dance with you, to have a crazy night with you,
With a tremendously crazy one
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, etc
Dancing love ooooh the pain is leaving me
Ooooh)
