Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Ho-ho-ho-ho)
Who calls this child to walk on her own?
(Hey hey hey hey)
Who leads her down this treacherous road?
(Hey hey hey hey)
She's dancin' to a song we can't hear
Caminando en Calle 12
Debes estar en la escuela
Dulce angelita
¿De quién eres tu? Uh, hey
Come dance with me (ven, baila conmigo)
Come dance with me (ven, ven, baila conmigo)
Come dance with me
God makes us dream, but won't set us free
(Hey hey hey hey)
God calls us dance to songs we can't hear
(Hey hey hey hey)
Canción del vampiro
Gloria de amor
Es nuestro reino
Pero vean lo que hemos hecho, hey
Come dance with me (ven, baila conmigo)
Come dance with me (ah, quiero ser libre)
Come dance with me (ven, baila conmigo)
Oh, como tú, como tú solo puedes bailar
Oye, mira, oye, mira, baila conmigo
No me dejes sola, oh, ven, ven, ven
Oh, no me dejes sola, oh, ven, ven, ven
Oye mírame
Oh, come on down (venga, venga)
Oh, set me free (quiero ser libre)
Oh, come on down, (oh, venga) come on
Dance with me (ven, baila conmigo, baila conmigo, uoh)
Come on down (venga, venga)
Dance with me (baila, conmigo)
Come on down, (sa)
Da-dance with me, eh (baila conmigo, uoh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh

The chorus of the song is an invitation to dance, a celebration of freedom and liberation. The lyrics call on us to join in the dance, to come and dance with me.
