lyrics

Check their names and stories with your coats
Just because we know they're too thick
Bring tus penas altogether now
Dance’em
Dance’em
Dance'em

Baila with us, but not for us
Agítate
Piérdete, but no me pierdas
Gira y gira y gira y gira
Baila con pena

When they come back for their coats
Don't expect a tip, but thanks
Try those fancy clothes on you
Singing: Arnold Layne
Had a strange
Cumbia
Waiting for the night to fall
Y cuando el club ya va a cerrar
Cuando a nadie ya le importa
Ponte ese abrigo dorado
Ponte esa bufanda de plumas
En medio de la pista
Porque esas ropas no tienen dueño
Porque no contestan
Sus mensajes
Porque han sido abandonadas
En la pista
El bar
En el baño
La guardarropía
Es la misma, misma vía
Bailaría ahí, al centro
Y así cantamos
Bailamos sin pena
Y cuando el club va a cerrar
Y cuando a nadie le importa
Estás bailando acompañado de gente
Ya no es trabajo
Ya no estás obligada
Ponte ese abrigo
Ponte esa bufanda
Ponte en medio de la pista
Cuya entrada es exclusiva
Porque se mueve y no es del dueño
Porque si bailas no eres de piedra
La pista es una pista
El baño es el bar
Es el mar

Please uncheck your stories with your clothes
El trabajo no es trabajo
Quien lo baila tampoco baila
La pena es apenas
Venas
Baila con pena
