| Bailar de lejos no es bailar | To dance apart is not to dance at all, |
| Es como estar | It is to exist—yet feel exiled, |
| Bailando solo | A lone waltz with one's own shadow, |
| Tu bailando en tu volcan | You whirl atop your burning caldera, |
| Y a dos metros de ti | And I, two paces from your fire, |
| Bailando yo en el polo | Turn circles at the pole’s desolation. |
| Probemos una sola vez | Let us dare—only once—to tempt fate, |
| Bailar pegados | To dance entwined, together, |
| Como a fuego | Close as flame pressed to its ember, |
| Abrazados al compas | Arms wound to the music’s breathing pulse, |
| Sin separar jamas | Never to be sundered, |
| Tu cuerpo de mi cuerpo | Your body in the cradle of my body, |
| Bailar pegados es bailar | To dance as one, close—such is true dance, |
| Igual que baila el mar | As the ocean dances—restless, immense— |
| Con los delfines | In the company of dolphins’ lithe arcs, |
| Corazon con corazon | Heart pressed to answering heart, |
| En un solo salon | In the hush of a solitary hall, |
| Dos bailarines | Only we—two dancers, |
| Abrazadisimos los dos | Clasped in a fervent embrace, |
| Acariciandonos | Fingertips tracing delicate verses, |
| Sintiendonos la piel | Our skin deciphering secret tides, |
| Nuestra balada va a sonar | Our ballad poised to unfurl in the air, |
| Vamos a probar | Let us attempt— |
| Probar el arte de volar | Test the art of flight itself, |
| Bailar pegados es bailar | To dance as one, close—such is true dance, |
| Bailar pegados es bailar | To dance as one, close—such is true dance, |
| Es bailar | This is dance— |
| Verras la musica despues | The music will reveal itself to you after, |
| Te va pidiendo un beso a gritos | It will rise, urgent, pleading for a kiss, |
| Y te sube por los pies | Climbing from the soles—an invisible current, |
| Como algo que no ves | A thing unseen, like breath in winter, |
| O que nunca se ha escrito | Or a page that has never been written, |
| Bailar pegados es bailar | To dance as one, close—such is true dance, |
| Igual que baila el mar | As the ocean dances—restless, immense— |
| Con los delfines | In the company of dolphins’ lithe arcs, |
| Corazon con corazon | Heart pressed to answering heart, |
| En un solo salon | In the hush of a solitary hall, |
| Dos bailarines | Only we—two dancers, |
| Abrazadisimos los dos | Clasped in a fervent embrace, |
| Acariciandonos | Fingertips tracing delicate verses, |
| Sintiendonos la piel | Our skin deciphering secret tides, |
| Nuestra balada va a sonar | Our ballad poised to unfurl in the air, |
| Vamos a probar | Let us attempt— |
| Probar el arte de volar | Test the art of flight itself, |
| Bailar pegados es bailar | To dance as one, close—such is true dance, |
| Bailar pegados es bailar | To dance as one, close—such is true dance, |
| Es bailar | This is dance |
