Baila Que Baila
Paulina Rubio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
momentos tristes y alegres
Así es la vida, olvida lo malo escucha lo que digo
levántate prende la radio
Si tu sientes que la vida
Te ha fallado en un momento
Y un abismo de tristeza
Si tu sientes que a tu lado
Hay una vibra negativa
Levántate y prende la radio
Que todo se arregla bailando
Baila que baila
Mueve tu cuerpo deja que
La tristeza se la lleve el viento
Baila que baila
Sacude las penas
Olvida lo malo que la
Vida es buena
Si tus amigos se han marchado
Te han dejado en el olvido
Recuerda que el camino es largo
Y si te rindes no hay sentido
Si ya has dejado en el pasado
Este amor que llevo dentro
Solo escucha lo que digo
Este amor es tuyo y mio
Baila que baila
Levanta la frente
Disfruta este ritmo
De sangre caliente
Baila que baila
Ya no digas nada
Y cierra los ojos
Ya veras mañana
Ya lo vez, con ese
Sudorcito, ven aquí
Acércate un poquito
Ahora ven aquí, esto es así
Lo que prometí, lo que me dieron
Y lo que di
Siempre hay algo que hacer
No ha ocurrido nada malo
Pudiendo suceder
Pueden haber problemas
Cuantas escenas en el mundo
El dinero es el emblema
Prende la vela, deja que venga
Lo que queda, y has que esto de la vida fluya
Como afuera
Baila que baila
Mueve tu cuerpo deja que
La tristeza se la lleve el viento
Baila que baila
Sacude las penas
Olvida lo malo que la
Vida es buena
Baila que baila
Levanta la frente
Disfruta este ritmo
De sangre caliente
Baila que baila
Ya no digas nada
Y cierra los ojos
Ya veras mañana
The opening verse of Paulina Rubio's song "Baila Que Baila" reminds listeners that life is a mix of ups and downs. There will always be difficult moments that bring sadness and joyous times that make us smile. The singer encourages the listener to forget about the bad times and focus on her message, which is to rise up again and turn on the radio. When everything seems to be falling apart, music can be a powerful tool to lift the spirit and remember that life is worth living.
The chorus repeats "Baila que baila," which translates to "dance and dance." Paulina reminds listeners that dancing is the best way to chase sadness away. "Let the wind carry away the sadness," she sings. When things are not going well, dancing can provide a temporary escape from life's difficulties. The lyrics are not only about dancing but also about facing adversity with a positive attitude.
The second verse is about being stuck in a negative situation, where bad energy is all around us. Rubio advises the listener to turn up the music, and everything will be fine. She believes that dancing is a universal language that can break down barriers and create a positive vibe. The verse ends with another reminder that life is filled with possibilities, and it's better to look forward than to dwell on the past.
