(El roce de los cuerpos al ritmo 'e la música)
Taboo (Calor)
Lambada Brasilia (Pasión)
No llores por él (No llores por él)

Llorando se fue la que un día me hizo llorar
Llorando se fue la que un día me hizo llorar
Llorando estará recordando el amor
Que un día no supo cuidar (my lover)
Llorando estará recordando el amor
Que un día no supo cuidar (¡Brasil!)

A recordação vai estar com ela aonde for
A recordação vai estar pra sempre aonde for
Dança sol e mar guardarei no olhar
O amor faz perder encontrar
Lambando estarei ao lembrar que este amor
Por um dia um instante foi rei

Isso acá é São Paulo
De noche, la luna, las estrellas
La playa, la arena 
Para olvidarme de ella
Una sirena que hechiza
Mientras tomando el sol, uh oh oh oh
Un cuerpo que pida a gritos
Samba y calor, uh oh oh oh

Mi nena, menea
Una cintura prendida en candela
Mi nena, menea
No se cansa
Mi nena, menea
Bailando así
Mi nena, menea
Ron da fao, ron da fao (menina, menina)
Mi nena, menea
Matadora
Mi nena, menea
Vélame en la favela 
Vélame en la favela 
Vélame en la favela
Bahía azul, A&X

Llorando se fue la que un día me hizo llorar
Llorando se fue la que un día me hizo llorar
Llorando estará recordando el amor
Que un día no supo cuidar (my lover)
Llorando estará recordando el amor
Que un día no supo cuidar (¡Brasil!)

A recordação vai estar com ela aonde for
A recordação vai estar pra sempre aonde for
Dança sol e mar guardarei no olhar
O amor faz querer encontrar
Lambando estarei ao lembrar que este amor
Por um dia um instante foi rei

Isso acá é São Paulo
De noche, la luna, las estrellas
La playa, la arena 
Para olvidarme de ella
Una sirena que hechiza
Mientras tomando el sol, uh oh oh oh
Un cuerpo que pida a gritos
Samba y calor, uh oh oh oh
