Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quemo tu piel como ese rayo de sol
Pinto tu cuerpo con un bello color, bombón
Cuerpo caliente a la orilla del mar
Pasa la gente y te quiere mirar, bombón

Sabes a chocolate
Sabes a chocolate, ¡sí
Beso, te beso, te quiero besar

No sé que pasa, que te quiero besar

Música, luz y yo te quiero besar, bombón
Cerca de ti yo solo quiero bailar
Quiero una orquesta que se ponga a tocar, bombón

Sabes a chocolate
Sabes a chocolate, ¡sí!
Beso, te beso, te quiero besar

Cuerpo de mujer
A la atardecer
Que no pare la música de sonar

Oh, oh, oh
