Lyrics[]

Original Version[]

Ay, papi... ¿Qué te pasa?
Te ves tan triste allí...
No te preocupes, yo tengo el remedio
Jaja, ¡sígame!

Deja que el ritmo te controla
Baila amorcito conmigo
Muévalo y bandéalo
Deja que el ritmo te enseña
Baila amorcito conmigo
Muévalo y bandéalo conmigo

No me digas mentiras
Yo sé que me quieres
Y aquí estamos, y entonces
Baila solo, baila, baila conmigo
Deja que el ritmo te controla papi

Así, aquí, vamos a bailar, te enseño
Así, aquí, nos vamos a bailar
Y así, y allí, tus manos por arriba y abajo
Así, y allí, bailamos por aquí
Papi, allí, vamos a bailar, te enseño
Así, aquí, nos vamos a bailar
Y así, y allí, tus manos por arriba y abajo
Así, y allí, bailamos por aquí papi

Aja, ¡así es papi! Ay, ¡qué rico!
