Esto es pa vos (re-re)This is for you,
Ayer te vi (dice)I saw you yesterday.
Estaba’ tan bonita que, la verdad, pena me dio (mucha pena, mamacita)You looked so beautiful that, honestly, I felt shy.
¿Pa qué te digo que no? (Uh-uh-uh) (Uff)Why would I lie to you?
Y me perdí (y me perdí)And I got lost,

En tu piel hay arena y te pegan las olasThere’s sand on your skin and the waves are hitting you.
Así que baila, morena, la rumba está buenaSo dance, beautiful girl, the party is great.
Yo ya te toqué y eso abajo te quemaI’ve already touched you and you’re feeling that fire.

Cómo no llevarte ganasHow could I not desire you,
Si tú, mamacita, lo que estás es buena (re-re)when you’re just so gorgeous?
Yo no sé, yo no sé, yo no sé lo que tienes tú (auh)I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know what it is about you.
Pero báilame esta canción y apaga la lu (dice, dice)But dance this song for me and turn off the light.
Y baila, baila, baila, que te quiero ver (que te quiero ver, bebé)And dance, dance, dance, because I want to see you.
