David Byrne & Selena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si entiende' cuando digo "Mi amor"
Comernos sin entenderno' e' mejor
Solo tenemo' que gustarno'
Quieres que caiga en tentaciones
Mira cómo me pone'
Ese acento que tienes
Baila, baila, baila conmigo
Baila, baila, que yo te sigo
Pégate, ven suéltate
No te me vayas sin las gana' de volver
Por eso baila, baila, baila conmigo
Baila, baila, que yo te sigo
Bésame, solo una vez
Así tengo un motivo pa' volverte a ver (Rauw)
Sinceramente, dejemo' que esto fluya
No sigas dándole mente
Tenemo' to'a la noche pa' que me enseñes de frente
Todo lo que siente'
Me huele a que no tiene nada de inocente (yah, yah)
¿Cómo te digo que no quiero hablar de amor?
Que si contigo tengo que pensar mejor
Tranqui', déjalo así, quiero quedarme aquí
Pégate, ven a mí, pégate, ven a mí
Baila, baila, baila conmigo
Baila, baila, que yo te sigo
Pégate, ven suéltate
No te me vayas sin las gana' de volver
Por eso baila, baila, baila conmigo
Baila, baila, que yo te sigo
Bésame, solo una vez
Así tengo un motivo pa' volverte a ver
Te voy a dejar mi número
Solo tiene' que llamar cuando me echa' de meno'
Que yo le voy a llegar (uh-wuh)
Baby, aunque me queda lejo', woh-oh
La nena e' de otra ciudad (yah), pero le corre mi flow
Tenía curiosidad y un beso me robó
No nos tenemo' que hablar (ey)
Si con mirarno' no' entendemo', yeah (yah)
No entiendo mucho pero baila, baila, baila conmigo
Baila, baila, que yo te sigo
Pégate, ven suéltate
No te me vayas sin las gana' de volver
Por eso baila, baila, baila conmigo
Baila, baila, que yo te sigo
Bésame, solo una vez
Así tengo un motivo pa' volverte a ver, yeah, yeah
Ra-Rauw, ey

The lyrics to David Byrne & Selena's song "Baila Conmigo" are about the desire to connect with someone through dance and physical attraction, even if there is a language barrier. The singer is attracted to someone who may not speak Spanish very well but understands when they say "My love". The two can communicate through physical touch and chemistry, without needing to understand each other's words. The chorus is an invitation to dance and let go, to not leave without wanting to come back.
The second verse is about letting go and enjoying the moment together without overthinking or analyzing it. The singer is trying to convey that they don't want to talk about love, but appreciates being in the moment with this person. The song is a playful and sensual exploration of physical attraction and chemistry that transcends language and culture.

Don't understand why this is the first time I've ever heard this song! Selena would have been HUGE in the English market. ❤
