Mil y una vidas ya pase 
Muchos corazones me robó
Siete maravillas pude ver 
Y solo tu leyenda se escribió en mi piel 

Atrapado, moribundo
Con esas ganas de bailar contigo 
Dame jaleo ole ole ole ole ola
Dame jaleo ole ole ole ole ola
No te mantengas no te esquives déjate llevar 

Porque esta noche, tu serás mía
Dame jaleo ole ole ole ole ola
Dame jaleo ole ole ole ole ola
La luna llena se hará trizas sino ya verás 
Porque esta noche tu serás mía

Sabes manejar la seducción 
Bailas con la piel y la pasión 
Me ha mordido ya la tentación 
Solo quiero desnudarte el corazón 

Atrapado, moribundo
Con esas ganas de bailar contigo 
Dame jaleo ole ole ole ole ola
Dame jaleo ole ole ole ole ola
No te mantengas no te esquives déjate llevar 

Porque esta noche, tu seras mía
Dame jaleo ole ole ole ole ola
Dame jaleo ole ole ole ole ola
La luna llena se hará trizas sino ya verás 
Porque esta noche tu serás mía

Atrapado y moribundo 
Enjaula en el deseo de estar contigo, mi amor 
Dame jaleo
