All the people that came to this party

y que toda la noche, que se baile, sí

pero me dicen que tengo tumbao (1)
But they say that I have “tumbao”
por eso a todos los tengo embrujaos (2)
That is why I have all of them bewitched (men, I guess)
mira que se está encendiendo, que sube el calor.
Watch out that is burning, that the heat is rising

Cuarenta grados de temperatura
Forty degrees (5) of temperature
con ese movimiento eres una tortura
With this movement you are a torture

I like dancing in the litle dark, without light
y mi corazón haciendo tun, tun,tun (7)
And my hurt making: “tun”, “tun”, “tun”

baila como quieras, que cosa más buena
Dance as you like; what a good thing (you are, or the dancing is…)

me gusta bailar a oscuritas sin luz
I like dancing in the litle dark, without light
y mi corazón haciendo tun, tun, tun

(2x)

(1) tumbado. I dont know what this word means...
(2) embrujado
(3) para
(4) rico: for food = delicious, for a baby/kid = lovely, for a person also means rich, whealthy; for things menas with a high content of something…
In Spain, we only use the word “rico” with the meaning of delicious, jummy, nice, only for food, never for things. So that we would never say “el ritmo es rico”, but in southamerica the use a lot this word with a broader significance, like in this song.
(5) degrees Celcious. In Spain and as far as I know in all soutamerican countries, degrees Celcious are used. So, forty is quite hot!
(6) a oscuras = in the dark. A oscuritas, is just a lovely way to say this, as if in English we would say “in the little dark”.
(7) is just mimicking the beating of the heart
