Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish
verse
Stop makin′ the eyes at me
Deja de hacerme ojitos
I'll stop makin′ my eyes at you
Y dejaré de hacerte ojitos
What it is that surprises me is
Lo que me sorprende es
That I don't really want you to
Que realmente no quiero que te detengas
pre-chorus
And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Y tus hombros están helados (fríos como la noche)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you′re dynamite)
Oh, pero tú eres una explosión (Eres dinamita)
Your name isn′t Rio, but I don't care for sand
Tu nombre no es Rio, pero no me importa la arena
And lightin′ the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go
Y prender el mechero puede resultar en un bang! b-b-bang! ¡Vamos!
chorus
I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Apuesto que te ves bien en la pista de baile
I don't know if you′re lookin' for romance or
No sé si estás buscando romance o
I don′t know what you're lookin' for
No sé qué estás buscando
I said, "I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dije, apuesto que te ves bien en la pista de baile
Dancin′ to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Bailando electro-pop como un robot de 1984
Well, from 1984"
¡Bien, como de 1984!
verse
I wish you′d stop ignoring me
Desearía que dejes de ignorarme
Because it's sendin′ me to despair
Porque me está desesperando
Without a sound, yeah, you're callin′ me
Sin un sonido sí, me estás llamando
And I don't think it′s very fair
Y no creo que sea muy justo
pre-chorus
That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Que tus hombros están helados (Fríos como la noche)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Oh, pero tú eres una explosión (Eres dinamita)
Your name isn′t Rio, but I don′t care for sand
Tu nombre no es Rio, pero no me importa la arena
And lightin' the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go
Y prender el mechero puede resultar en un bang! b-b-bang! ¡Vamos!
chorus
I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Apuesto que te ves bien en la pista de baile
I don′t know if you're lookin′ for romance or
No sé si estás buscando romance o
I don't know what you′re lookin' for
No sé qué estás buscando
I said, "I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dije, apuesto que te ves bien en la pista de baile
Dancin' to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Bailando electro-pop como un robot de 1984
Well, from 1984"
¡Bien, como de 1984!
bridge
Oh, there ain′t no love, no Montagues or Capulets
Oh, no hay algún amor, ningún Montesco o Capuleto
Just bangin′ tunes and DJ sets and
Solo tocando melodías y DJ sets y
Dirty dance floors and dreams of naughtiness
Pistas de baile sucias y sueños de travesuras
outro
Well, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Bueno, apuesto a que te ves bien en la pista de baile
I don't know if you′re lookin' for romance or
No sé si estás buscando romance o
I don′t know what you're lookin′ for
No sé qué estás buscando
I said, "I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dije, apuesto que te ves bien en la pista de baile
Dancin' to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Bailando electro-pop como un robot de 1984
Said, from 1984"
¡Dije de 1984!
