Nos besamos bailando
We kissed while dancing
En medio del lugar
In the middle of the place
La música ya iba llegando
The music was already coming in
Al último compás
To the final beat
Miradas en silencio
Looks exchanged in silence
Y quién lo iba pensar
And who would have thought
Que después de este primer baile
That after this first dance
Me iba a enamorar
I would fall in love
Yo que era un solitario bailando
I, who was a lonely dancer
Me quedé sin hablar
Was left without words
Mientras tú me fuiste demostrando
While you were showing me
Que el amor es bailar
That love is to dance
La vida es un gran baile
Life is a grand dance
Y el mundo es un salón
And the world is a ballroom
Y hay muchas parejas bailando
And there are many couples dancing
A nuestro alrededor
All around us
Y entre toda esta gente
And among all these people
Nos fuimos a encontrar
We went to find each other
Parecíamos predestinados
We seemed predestined
Para así bailar
To dance like this
Yo que era un solitario bailando
I who was a loner dancing
Me quedé sin hablar
I found myself speechless
Mientras tú me fuiste demostrando
While you were showing me
Que el amor es bailar
That love is to dance
Y ahora que estamos en la pista tú y yo
And now that we're on the dance floor, you and I
No quiero que dejemos de bailar así
I don't want us to stop dancing like this
Pues vienen otros ritmos que te quieren separar de mí
For other rhythms come that want to separate you from me
Y no pueda abrazarte ni sentir tu cuerpo
And I can't embrace you or feel your body
Y vuelva a bailar solo
And I'll end up dancing alone again
Como antes de estar junto a ti
Like before being with you
Y así bailando quiero
And so dancing, I want you
Que me hagas el amor
To make love to me
De hombre a hombre
Man to man
Voleuz-vous coucher avec moi?
Voleuz-vous coucher avec moi?
Yo que era un solitario bailando
I, who was a solitary dancer
Me quedé sin hablar
Was left speechless
Mientras tú me fuiste demostrando
While you demonstrated to me
Que el amor es bailar
That love is to dance
Yo que era un solitario bailando
I, who was a solitary dancer
Me quedé sin hablar
Was left speechless
Mientras tú me fuiste demostrando
While you were showing me
Que el amor es bailar
That love is to dance
