Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Anoche te vi en la zona roja
bailamos y bailamos
y me diste un flechazo
y cai loco, loco a tus pies
porque en la zona roja
te entregaste otra vez

El río fue testigo en la noche

no hubo ni un reproche
la pasamos muy bien
pero esta mañana te fuiste
yo se que mentiste
pero yo también

Io, io que lindo fue quererte
io, io que lindo fue amarte
io io
proque mi amor te fuiste
io, io, io, io, io, io

Bailaré ne lña zona roja bailaré
buscascaré en la zona roja, encontraré
ami chica en zona roja yo amaré

y en la zona roja, y n la zona roja
y en la zona roja yo estaré.
