(Esta noche bailamos)
(Te doy toda mi vida)

(Quédate conmigo)

Tonight we dance
I leave my life, in your hands
We take the floor
Nothing is forbidden anymore

Don't let the world dim my sight
Don't let a moment go by
Nothing can stop us tonight

Bailamos, let the rhythm take you over
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mío, bailamos
Gonna live this night forever
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mío, te quiero

Tonight I'm yours
We can make it happen I'm so sure
Now I'm letting go
There is something I think you should know
I won't be leaving your side
We're gonna dance through the night
I'm gonna reach for the stars

Bailamos, let the rhythm take you over
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mío, bailamos
Gonna live this night forever
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mío, te quiero

(Whoa, oh oh oh) tonight we dance
(Whoa, oh oh oh) like no tomorrow
(Whoa oh oh oh) if you will stay with me
Te quiero, mi amor

Te quiero amor mío, bailamos
Gonna live this night forever

Te quiero amor mío 

Bailamos, let the rhythm take you over
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mío, bailamos
Gonna live this night forever
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mío
