El Otro Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tengo ganas de bailar, con vos
Amor, ven a mi
mi amor
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na
si no estás cerca de mi
Me balanceo, suave
Reboto en los costados
Bailo feliz
feliz, feliz...
Quisiera invitarte a bailar
quisiera que bailes conmigo
Tan importante es para mi que respires
que respires, que respires
The lyrics in El Otro Yo's song "Bailar" convey a sense of longing and desire to be close to someone special. The first two lines, "Es extraño, sólo quiero estar con vos / Tengo ganas de bailar, con vos" (It's strange, I just want to be with you / I want to dance, with you), express a feeling of oddness or unfamiliarity with these emotions. But the desire is clear – the singer wants to be close to their loved one and dance with them.
The chorus, consisting of "Na na na na na na na / Na na na na" seems to represent the joy and energy of dancing, or perhaps the rhythm and beat of the music. It's a simple, catchy refrain that encourages the listener to join in and dance along.
The third stanza, "Me balanceo, suave / Reboto en los costados / Bailo feliz / feliz, feliz..." (I sway softly / Bounce to the sides / Dance happily / happy, happy...) further emphasizes the enjoyment of dancing and being close to the person the singer desires.
In the final stanza, "Quisiera invitarte a bailar / quisiera que bailes conmigo / Tan importante es para mi que respires / que respires, que respires" (I want to invite you to dance / I want you to dance with me / It's so important to me for you to breathe / to breathe, to breathe), the singer explicitly states their desire to dance with their loved one and how important it is for them to be in the same space and breathe the same air.
Overall, "Bailar" is a sweet, upbeat song about the simple pleasure of dancing with someone you love and the importance of wanting to be close to them.
