Le cantare al amor
Le cantare a la tierra
A los mares y al sol
Le cantare a mi gente

A los que estan en dolor
Tonight we´re dancing
Con los amigos
Por ahi

En el corazón
Ay amor
Cuanto te quiero

En el corazón
Siento que en mi vída todo ha sido una mentira
Con peligro en la mira que lo siento día a día
Amor ay Dios sin amor
Bien recuerdo que mi tía to´los días me decía
De porque no me atrevía amar con el corazón
Con el corazón

Can´t you see puedes sentir mi amor por ti

The lyrics to DJ Méndez's song "Ay Ay Ay" express a message of love and unity. In the first verse, the singer promises to sing to life, love, the earth, the seas, the sun, his people, and his God. He wants to spread joy to those who are experiencing pain. The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, declares the singer's love and desire for his lover. He wants to turn up the fire in his heart and take their love even higher.
The second verse reveals the singer's personal struggles with love and fear. He has felt like his whole life has been a lie, with danger lurking around every corner. His aunt encouraged him to love with his heart, but he still struggled to do so. The verse then transitions into a declaration of love and unity, calling for "one love" and a world where everyone can feel his love. The song as a whole is a celebration of love, both personal and universal.
