Bailando Lyrics in English Parientes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bailando by Parientes from Spanish to English.
I had started another story
I didn't run into you again
I closed the bars to forget you
Look how small the world is!
And where I meet you again!
The night peeks in to see you shine
Dancing, your body lights up
And my restless eyes
Keep dancing to the beat
Meanwhile I
Undress you in my thoughts
I have to laugh so that I don't cry
You block the wind with your hand
Your laugh makes me doubt
You always carried
The starring role
I walk your deserted streets
Tied to my loneliness
I take false steps
I mess up again, again
Dancing, your body lights up
And my restless eyes
Keep dancing to the beat
Meanwhile I
Undress you in my thoughts
I have to laugh
So that I don't cry
Your macabre, somber laugh
Doesn't make me tremble
I keep on carrying the starring role
Dancing, your body lights up
And my restless eyes
Keep dancing to the beat
Meanwhile I
Undress you in my thoughts
I have to laugh
So that I don't cry
Did you like these lyrics?
SONG MEANING

Bailando paints the bittersweet moment when you suddenly bump into the love you once swore you would forget. The narrator had been closing down bars trying to erase the past, only to find that the world is tiny and fate puts this person right back in front of them, glowing on the dance floor. Each sway of the ex-lover’s body reignites old feelings, while the singer’s restless eyes follow the rhythm and undress the memory in silence. Laughter becomes a shield for tears, and the night turns into a tug-of-war between desire and heartbreak.

As the music pulses, the song reveals a battle for the “main role.” Both characters wear the spotlight, yet their shared history feels like a deserted street: familiar, lonely, and full of wrong turns. The ex-lover’s almost sinister laugh tries to reclaim power, but the narrator refuses to tremble. Instead, they keep dancing through their pain, convincing themselves that if they can keep moving, maybe that ache will finally fade. "Bailando" is a seductive mix of passion, regret, and defiance wrapped in irresistible Latin beats.
