[Verso 1]
Cae la madrugada
Y la noche acaba de empezar, ah-ah
La energía está elevada
Luces apagadas, solo la luna
[Pre-Coro]
'Tá acelera'o el ambiente
El humo me sube la mente
No te pongas impaciente, bájamelo
Bailando entre la gente
El sube y baja me prende
'Tá demasiado caliente, bájamelo
[Coro]
Dale lento
Tócamela más lento
El ritmo me está encendiendo
Y sé que te está quemando
Dale lento
Un poquito más lento
El ritmo lo tengo adentro
Y siento que está vibrando
So I keep to myself, I don't need to be bothered
By your negativity, don't even bother
Level that tone, I ain't your daughter
Bitch, I was raised by Caribbean waters
Sigo moviendo como una ola
Suave la orilla y yo llego sola
Sway it then go a little bit further
'Til the light of the day
[Coro]
Dale lento
Tócamela más lento
El ritmo me está encendiendo
Y sé que te está quemando (Y te está quemando)
Dale lento (Dale lento)
Un poquito más lento
El ritmo lo tengo adentro
Y siento que está vibrando
[Puente]
In and exhale one time (Ah)
Align your breath with mine (Ah)
Under an open sky, we fly (Ah)
In and exhale one time (Ah)
Aligning your breath with mine (Ah)
Under an open sky, we fly
Dale lento (Now, now, you dale)
Tócamela más lento
El ritmo me está encendiendo
Y sé que te está quemando (Y yo sé que te está quemando)
Dale lento
Un poquito más lento (Un poquito más lento pa' mí, babe)
El ritmo lo tengo adentro
Y siento que está vibrando (Ay)
