_____
Night falls and there are no stars
I'm still here thinking about her
And in the instant that I saw her
_____
When I saw her among all the people
Already dancing nice and slow
Every time closer together
_____
A cumbia in other arms
_____
I'm very shy and I don't dance
_____
That in your hands I'm short of breath
_____
That having you so near and so far
_____
That in your hands I'm short of breath
_____
That my heart beats to another rhythm
If you're going to kill me
That it be bit by bit, babe
_____
My chichi, El Guaynaabichy
_____
I've asked God for help
_____
And even though in dreams she was already mine
The day still hasn't come
And it gives her pleasure
Even though her indifference
_____
That in your hands I'm short of breath
_____
That having you so near and so far
_____
That in your hands I'm short of breath
_____
That my heart beats to another rhythm
