El mundo es de los dos
The world belongs to us both
Y esta noche es para ti
And tonight is for you
Y sin reservas te quiero invitar
And without reservations, I want to invite you
A soñar y a bailar
To dream and to dance
Qué felicidad, no ves
What happiness, can't you see
Que las horas contigo se van
That the hours with you fly by
Soy feliz con tu amor
I am happy with your love
De todo lo mejor es que vamos
The best of all is that we are going
A bailar sin parar
To dance non-stop
Y podemos gozar
And we can enjoy
Con la orquesta bang bang
With the bang bang orchestra
Qué felicidad, no ves
What happiness, can't you see
Que las horas contigo se van
That the hours with you just fly
Soy feliz, ya lo ves
I'm happy, can't you see
