Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ella baila como nadie
Ella baila sin parar
Y cuando vamos al baile como yo no bailo no me quiere hablar

Ella dice que me quiere
Por eso me va enseñar
Pero yo estoy bien seguro que si no aprendo a mi me va a dejar
Pegaito, pegaito, pegaito baila esta cumbia
Y yo no puedo seguirle el pasito
Y yo le digo que baile pegadito para oír el ritmo de su corazón

Pegaito, pegaito, pegaito baila esta cumbia
Y yo no puedo seguirle el pasito
Y yo le digo que baile pegadito para oír el ritmo de su corazón

Ella baila como nadie
Ella baila sin parar
Y cuando vamos al baile como yo no bailo no me quiere hablar

Yo la quiero con el alma
La llevo en mi corazón
Y les juro que esta noche voy a ser pa′ ella un gran bailador

Pegaito, pegaito, pegaito baila esta cumbia
Y yo no puedo seguirle el pasito
Y yo le digo que baile pegadito para oír el ritmo de su corazón

Pegaito, pegaito, pegaito baila esta cumbia
Y yo no puedo seguirle el pasito
Y yo le digo que baile pegadito para oír el ritmo de su corazón

Pegaito, pegaito, pegaito baila esta cumbia
Y yo no puedo seguirle el pasito
Y yo le digo que baile pegadito para oír el ritmo de su corazón

Pegaito, pegaito, pegaito baila esta cumbia
Y yo no puedo seguirle el pasito
Y yo le digo que baile pegadito para oír el ritmo de su corazón

El ritmo de su corazón
El ritmo de su corazón




El ritmo de su corazón
El ritmo de su corazón
