Bailar Contigo Lyrics in English Carlos Vives

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bailar Contigo by Carlos Vives from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
How I look at you
The lights of the place are already visible
Verse 1
I can only imagine you excited to reach paradise
Where will you be?
Chorus 1
It's understanding that you are the light on my path
Verse 2
Happiness embraces me because I'm going to find you
Chorus 2
How I look at you
I have your photo on the wall
The clock shows ten and I'm cold
Where will you be?
Because of work I've stayed really late
I'm running off to look for you
I can't wait anymore
Like a sigh
I can only imagine you excited to reach paradise
How will you be?
I hear the radio on the way to your house
Happiness embraces me because I'm going to find you
With your little cocktail dress
Your charming little face and your angelic little body
The lights of the place are already visible
You take me by the hand and the orchestra can be heard tuning
Dancing with you
Is the certainty of fulfilling my destiny
My ticket to enter paradise
Dancing with you
How I look at you
When you sing and step away from my side
Or you prefer that we dance holding each other
It's understanding
That you are the light on my path
Without a breath
I don't stop thinking about you
Nothing can separate our paths anymore
How will you be?
I hear the radio on the way to your house
Happiness embraces me because I'm going to find you
With your little cocktail dress
Your charming little face and your angelic little body
The lights of the place are already visible
You take me by the hand and the orchestra can be heard tuning
Dancing with you
Is the certainty of fulfilling my destiny
My ticket to enter paradise
Dancing with you
How I look at you
When you sing and step away from my side
Or you prefer that we dance holding each other
It's understanding
That you are the light on my path
Dancing with you
Is the certainty of fulfilling my destiny
My ticket to enter paradise
Dancing with you
How I look at you
When you sing and step away from my side
Or you prefer that we dance holding each other
It's understanding
That you are the light on my path

SONG MEANING

Imagine racing through the night, heart pounding, because the only thing on your mind is sharing one magical dance. That is the heartbeat of “Bailar Contigo.” In this song, Carlos Vives paints a cinematic scene: the singer finishes work late, pictures his partner in a dazzling cocktail dress, and speeds through the city lights. Every traffic light feels like an eternity because each second brings him closer to the moment when music starts, the orchestra tunes up, and happiness wraps around him. His beloved is not just a date; she is the light on his path, the promise of paradise, and the key to his destiny.

The dance floor becomes their little universe. As soon as they step inside, worries melt away, and every spin or close embrace confirms that they are meant to be. The song celebrates anticipation, devotion, and the pure joy of dancing with someone who makes life feel complete. "Bailar Contigo" reminds us that sometimes paradise is as simple as holding hands, letting the music guide you, and realizing that true happiness can be found in a shared rhythm.
