Intro
The power went out all over the neighborhood
Chorus 1
The power went out all over the neighborhood
Light the candles that the party doesn't go out
The power went out all over the neighborhood
Light the candles that the party doesn't go out
Tonight I want to be yours
Tonight I have to be yours
Verse 1
It's nighttime in Cartagena
And your black dress has little fabric
The buzz is really good
I'm still here dancing like the palm trees
Tonight I want to be yours
Tonight I have to be yours
Tonight I'm gonna be yours
Tonight I'm all yours
Like that, kiss me on the mouth
That the light went out and nobody sees us
Kiss me on the mouth
Kiss me on the mouth
Kiss me on the mouth
That the light went out
Kiss me on the mouth
Kiss me on the mouth
Kiss me on the mouth
We have until it dawns
To kiss and dance on the table
You with your leg between my legs
I'm softly caressing your hips
Tonight I want to be yours
Tonight I have to be yours
Under the shadow of the moon
I want to bite your lips like an olive
Under the shadow of the candles
I'm gonna take you on a trip to the stars
Tonight I want to be yours
Tonight I have to be yours
Like that, kiss me on the mouth
That the light went out and nobody sees us
Kiss me on the mouth
Kiss me on the mouth
Kiss me on the mouth
That the light went out
Kiss me on the mouth
Kiss me on the mouth
Kiss me on the mouth
Chorus 2
The power went out all over the neighborhood
Light the candles that the party doesn't go out
The power went out all over the neighborhood
Light the candles that the party doesn't go out
Outro
The power went out

SONG MEANING

La Luz plunges us into a hot Caribbean night in Cartagena when—oops!—the electricity suddenly fails. Instead of stopping the party, the blackout turns into an invitation to light candles, turn up the music in our hearts, and let the darkness spark bold new feelings. Against the silhouette of swaying palm trees and the glow of flickering flames, Juanes paints a scene brimming with desire. The lovers dance close, whispering promises, stealing kisses, and letting the anonymity of the night free them from inhibitions.

Beneath the playful beat lies an uplifting message: even when life pulls the plug, la fiesta no se apaga—the celebration does not end. “La Luz” reminds us that a little darkness can actually brighten passion, creativity, and joy. It is a call to keep dancing, keep loving, and keep shining from within, no matter what happens around us.
