Lyrics[]
Bailar de lejos no es bailar
Es como estar bailando sólo
Tu bailando en tu volcán
Y a dos metros de ti
Bailando yo en el polo
Probemos una sola vez
Bailar pegados como a fuego
Abrazados al compás
Sin separar jamás
Tu cuerpo de mi cuerpo
Bailar pegados es bailar
Igual que baila el mar con los delfines
Corazón con corazón en un solo salón
Dos bailarines
Abrazadísimos los dos
Acariciándonos
Sintiéndonos la piel
Nuestra balada va a sonar
Vamos a probar
Probar el arte de volar
Bailar pegados es bailar
Bailar pegados es bailar
Es bailar[1]
To dance from afar is not dancing
It's like dancing alone
You're dancing in your volcano
And two meters from you
I'm dancing on the pole
Let's try only once
To dance closely as with fire
Embracing the beat
Without ever separating
Your body from my body
To dance closely is dancing
Like the sea dances with the dolphins
Heart to heart in just one ballroom
Two dancers
Both embracing each other
Caressing each other
Feeling each other's skin
Our ballad is going to be played
Let's try
Try the art of flying
To dance closely is dancing
To dance closely is dancing
Is dancing
