¡Bienvenido de nuevo, mis amigos!

This is going to be a short one, as I am sick and I missed last week’s post. BUT have to continue the streak.

So we’re going to do a simple party song today – Enrique Iglesias and his ‘Bailando’ [Dancing] featuring Descemer Bueno, and Gente De Zona. A fun, peppy number that [for me personally] divides the sad-boy Enrique era [‘I can be your hero, baby’ anyone?]

Let’s go!

Appendix:
1. Normal: Original Spanish lyric
2. Italics: Translated English lyric
3. –Italics nestled within hyphens–: Random comments that you can safely ignore

Bailando – Enrique Iglesias featuring Descemer Bueno, and Gente De Zona line-by-line translation of lyrics [Spanish to English] [Español a Inglés]

La letra
Lyrics

Enrique Iglesias
One love, one love
Gente de Zona
People of the zone
Descemer
Descend
–apparently this is some Portuguese in our Mundo Españolo

Yo te miro y se me corta la respiración
I see you and I am short of breath
Cuando tú me miras, se me sube el corazón
When you look at me, my heart rises
(Me palpita lento el corazón)
My heart beats slowly
–Yeah I don’t know how his heart can rise but heartbeat slow at the same time. Care to explain, Mister Churches?
Y en un silencio tu mirada dice mil palabras (uh)
And in the silence your gaze tells me a thousand words
La noche en la que te suplico que no salga el sol
The night in which I beg you not to let the sun rise
–Ooh, saucy!

Bailando (bailando)
Dancing (dancing)
Bailando (bailando)
Dancing (dancing)
Tu cuerpo y el mío llenando el vacío
Your body and mine filling up the void/vacuum
Subiendo y bajando (subiendo y bajando)
Rising and falling (rising and falling)

Bailando (bailando)
Dancing (dancing)
Bailando (bailando)
Dancing (dancing)
Ese fuego por dentro me va enloqueciendo
That fire inside me is making me crazy
Me va saturando
It’s soaking me completely

Con tu física y tu química, también tu anatomía
With your physics and your chemistry, also your anatomy
La cerveza y el tequila, y tu boca con la mía
Beer and tequila, and your mouth with mine
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
I can’t do it anymore (I can’t do it anymore)
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
I can’t do it anymore (I can’t do it anymore)

Con esta melodía, tu color, tu fantasía
With this melody, your colour, your fantasy
Con tu filosofía mi cabeza está vacía
With your philosophy my head is vacant
Y ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
And I can’t do it anymore (I can’t do it anymore)
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
I can’t do it anymore (I can’t do it anymore)

Yo quiero estar contigo
I want to be with you
Vivir contigo, bailar contigo
To live with you, to dance with you
Tener contigo una noche loca (una noche loca)
To have a crazy night with you (a crazy night)
–So many talks about night, give it a break and call it a day maybe?
Ay, besar tu boca (y besar tu boca)
Yeah, to kiss your mouth (and kiss your mouth)

Yo quiero estar contigo
I want to be with you
Vivir contigo, bailar contigo
To live with you, to dance with you
Tener contigo una noche loca
To have a crazy night with you
Con tremenda nota
With terrific note
–I am unsure what this tremenda nota phrase means?

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Tú me miras y me llevas a otra dimensión
You look at me and take me to another dimension
(Estoy en otra dimensión)
I am in another dimension
Tus latidos aceleran a mi corazón
Your heartbeats speed up my heart
(Tus latidos aceleran a mi corazón)
(Your heartbeats speed up my heart)
Qué ironía del destino no poder tocarte
What an irony it is that my destiny is not being able to touch you
Abrazarte y sentir la magia de tu olor
Hug you and feel the magic of your aroma

Bailando (bailando)
Dancing (dancing)
Bailando (bailando)
Dancing (dancing)
Tu cuerpo y el mío llenando el vacío
Your body and mine filling up the void/vacuum
Subiendo y bajando (subiendo y bajando)
Rising and falling (rising and falling)

Bailando (bailando)
Dancing (dancing)
Bailando (bailando)
Dancing (dancing)
Ese fuego por dentro me va enloqueciendo
That fire inside me is making me crazy
Me va saturando
It’s soaking me completely

Con esta melodía, tu color, tu fantasía
With this melody, your colour, your fantasy
Con tu filosofía mi cabeza está vacía
With your philosophy my head is vacant
Y ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
And I can’t do it anymore (I can’t do it anymore)
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
I can’t do it anymore (I can’t do it anymore)

Yo quiero estar contigo
I want to be with you
Vivir contigo, bailar contigo
To live with you, to dance with you
Tener contigo una noche loca (una noche loca)
To have a crazy night with you (a crazy night)
Ay, besar tu boca (y besar tu boca)
Yeah, to kiss your mouth (and kiss your mouth)

Yo quiero estar contigo

Vivir contigo, bailar contigo
To live with you, to dance with you
Tener contigo una noche loca
To have a crazy night with you
Con tremenda nota
With terrific note
–(???)

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
