LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCA
She's into superstitions
Black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition
That girl's gonna make me fall

She's into new sensations
New kicks and candelight
She's got a new addiction
For every day and night

She'll make you take your clothes off
And go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain

Come on

Upside inside out
Livin' La Vida Loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' La Vida Loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color of mocha
She will wear you out
Livin' La Vida Loca

Come on
Livin' La Vida Loca
Come on
Livin' La Vida Loca

Woke up in New York City in a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart and she took my money
She must have slipped me a sleepin' pill
She never drinks the water
Makes you order french champagne
Once you've had a taste of her she'll make you go insane
Yeah she'll make you go insane

Repeat chorus...
SPANISH EYES
I met a girl at the carnival in Rio de Janeiro
We danced all night on the boulevard
In doorways we did the tango

I miss her lips and the way she sashed her hips
As she shook her shoulders

I miss the smell of her hair
I don't care if it takes my whole life to find her

We were dancing in the summer rain
We were dancing through the night
I never knew her real name
So I called her Spanish eyes
Spanish eyes.....

The sun came up and the girl was gone
Her masquerade was over
I searched the streets drunk with love
But no one seemed to know her

I miss the touch of her body so much
I long for the warmth inside her
Somewhere in time she will come back to me
And I'll spend my whole life beside her

Repeat chorus...
SHE'S ALL I EVER HAD
Here I am
Broken wings
Quiet thoughts
Unspoken dreams

Here I am
Alone again
And I need her now
To hold my hand

She's all, she's all I ever had
She's the air I breathe
She's all, she's all I ever had

It's the way she makes me feel
It's the only thing that's real
It's the way she understands
She's my lover, she's my friend
And when I look into her eyes
It's the way I feel inside
Like the man I want to be
She's all I ever need

So much time
So much pain (but)
There's one thing
That still remains (it's the)
The way she cared
The love we shared
And through it all
She's always been there

Repeat chorus...
SHAKE YOUR BON-BON
I'm a desperado
Underneath your window
I see your silhouette
Are you my Juliet
I feel a mad connection
With your body

Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon

I wanna be your lover
Your only Latin lover
We'll go around the world in a day
Don't say no, no
Shake it my way, oh

Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon

Hola amiga, hola amiga
You're my temple of desire
We'll go around the world in a day
Don't say no, no
Shake it my way, oh

Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon

You're a Mata Hari
I wanna know your story
In the Sahara sun
I wanna be the one
That's gonna come and take you, make you

Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon

Up in the Himalayas
C'mon I wanna lay ya
We'll go around the world in a day
Don't say no, no
Shake it my way, oh

Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon

Repeat chorus...
BE CAREFUL [Cuidado Con Mi Corazon] With Madonna
Be careful with my heart
You could break it
Don't take my love for granted
Things could change

Sometimes I go insane
I played the fool and you'll agree
I'll never be the same
Without you here with me

Cuidado
Con mi corazon
Me siento algo desnuda
Cuidado
Con mi corazon
Mi corazon

Be careful with my heart
Rou could break it
Don't take my love for granted
Things could change

Sometimes I go insane
I played the fool and you'll agree
I'll never be the same
Without you here with me

Cuidado (please be careful) con mi corazon
Carino no me lastimes
Cuidado (please be careful)
Es mi corazon
Mi corazon

If I could reach out to you
Nothing will stop me
Take your head in my hands
Tell me what would you do
Kiss your eyes, sing you to sleep
Your voice sounds like a lullaby
Here's my heart, this time to keep
Here's my heart to keep

Repeat chorus...
LOVE YOU FOR A DAY
Que sera, oh que sera
The future will be will be with us

I've seen the headlines in the paper
They say the end is coming soon
I wanna make love till it's over
If Im goin' down it'll be with you

Let me love you for a day
Let me have you for a night
Let me take you far away
Into forever......... ay, ay, ay

I don't wanna let you go
Nena yo.....
Let me undress your soul
Ay, ay, ay.....
I can take you to another world
Never go.....
Let me take you home tonight

Que sera, oh que sera
As the countdown's getting closer
There is madness in the air
I wanna be under the covers
Baby, in your arms
You know I'll be there

Repeat chorus...
PRIVATE EMOTION
Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
And it shines on you baby, can't you see
You're the only one who can shine for me


It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us
As the shadows steal the light
And wherever you may find it
Wherever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Come to me

When your soul is tired and your heart is weak
Do you think of love as a one way street
Well it runs both ways, open up your eyes
Can't you see me here, how can you deny

Repeat chorus...

Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
It takes a lot to laugh as your tears go by
But you can find me here till your tears run dry

It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us
As the shadows steal the light
And wherever you may find it
Wherever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Come to me
On My Way
Two hearts beating as one
That's all I think about
Until my journey is done
Ten miles, ten miles away
That's all that's left to go
Until I see your face
Oh my love
She says to me…
Oh my love
I'm waitin' for you

Chorus
Hey I'm on my way
Won't be late
It's okay
Let's get crazy
Come what may
Come on
I wanna love you
Baby gimme sexo…

Hey I'm on my way
(I guess you gotta feel the pain)
It's OK
(To teach your soul to pray)
Come what may
(Your tears are like the rain)
I wanna love you
Baby, gimme sexo…

Lover, the moment has come
I'll give it all to you until I come undone
Lover, I live for your touch
So many nights alone
I've missed your kiss soooo much

Oh my heart
Was hers to be
Oh my love
I'm livin' for you

Repeat Chorus

I AM MADE OF YOU
I came a long way from out of nowhere
I stand before you all alone

Like a wolf's cry in the distance
I heard the calling of your soul
Oh... I hear you cryin'

With your love show me how to live
Cause you are made of me
And I am made of you

With your life show me how to give
You are made of me
And I am made of you

We'll walk together through the fire
Through the darkness to the sun

Like two raging rivers full of passion
At the ocean, we are one

Oh... I hear you cryin'

Repeat chorus...

I am made of you
You are made of me
And everything you are
Is what I'm meant to be

I am made of you
You are made of me
And everything I am
Is what you made of me

Oh... I hear you cryin'
Oh... through the darkness to the light

With your love
Show me how to live
Cause you are made of me
And I am made of you

With your life
Show me how to give
You are made of me
With your heart
Show me what is true
Cause you are made me of you
And I am made of you
With your soul walk my spirit through
You are made of me
And I am made of you
Oh... I hear you cryin' through the darkness to the light

LA DIOSA DEL CARNAVAL  
 THE GODDES OF THE CARNAVAL 
La conocí en el carnaval
En Río De Janeíro
Sin hablar, en el bulevar
Esa noche bailamos tango

Extraño su boca caríoca, sensual
Que roza al mover los hombres
Extraño su aroma, su piel
No me importa
La sigo hasta el fin
del mundo

Coro
Y bailamos por un callejón
Y bailamos sin para
Con sus ojos me embrujó
La diosa del carnaval…

Amaneció,
no me dijo adiós
Mientras yo soñaba
Solo me dejó una noche de amor
Y una rosa en su almohada

Busco su voz
y su canto gitano
En mí alma dejó una huella
Anhelo el calor de su cuerpo
y sus besos
No aguanto vivir sin ella

Repetir Coro

I met her at the carnaval
In Rio De Janeiro
Without talking, on the boulevard
We danced that night the tango

I miss her Brazilian mouth, sensual
Which got the men to move
I miss her aroma, her skin
I don't care
I follow her until the end
of the world

Chorus
And we danced in an alley
And we danced without stopping
She bewitched me with her eyes
The goddes of the carnaval...

By morning,
she didn't tell me goodbye
While I was sleeping
She only left me a night of love
And a rose on her pillow

I look for her voice
and her gypsy signing
In my soul she left a track
I wish for the heat of her body
and her kisses
I don't want to live without her

Repeat Chorus

YOU STAY WITH ME
Met you underneath the moon
The night was over much too soon
We shared a kiss till day light came
And kissed the night goodbye

When the sun came up that day
We smiled and went our separate ways
But I can't leave the thought of you behind

Oh, you stay with me
You stay with me
Oh, in my heart and on my mind
Oh, like a melody that keeps haunting me
Oh, you stay

I look inside the small cafe's
And hope by chance I'll see your face
I hear your voice and realize
It's just the summer wind

Something in your eyes that night
Wwept away this heart of mine
Now I just want you in my arms again

Repeat chorus...

How was I to know in that one night
My whole life would change
From the moment I looked in your eyes
I've never been the same
And if I could have one chance to have that moment back again
I'd never let it end
I'd never let it end

Repeat 1st verse and chorus

LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCA  
  LIVIN' THE CRAZY LIFE
La reina de la noche
La diosa del vudu
Yo no podre salvarme
Podras salvarte tu?

La tela de la araña
La uña del dragon
Te lleva a los infiernos
Ella es tu adiccion

Te besa y te desnuda
con su baile demencial
Tu cierras los ojitos
y te dejas
arrastrar
Tu te dejas
arrastrar...

Ella que sera
She's livin' la vida loca
Y te dolera
Si de verdad te toca
Ella es tu final
Vive la vida loca

Ella te dira
Vive la vida loca
Vive la vida loca
She's livin' la vida loca

Se fue a New York City
A la torre de un hote
Te ha robado la cartera
Se ha llevado hasta tu piel

Por eso no bebia
de su copa de licor
Por eso te besaba
Con narcotico sabor
Es el beso de calor...

CORO
The queen of the night
The Goddess of Voodoo
I couldn't save myself
Perhaps you can save yourself?


The spider's web
The claw of a dragon
She'll take you to the fires of hell
She is your addiction

She kisses and underdresses you
With her insane dance
You close your eyes
and you'll let yourself being dragged along
You'll let yourself being dragged along..

She what is she
She's livin' the crazy life
And she'll cause you pain
If she really touches you
She is your ending
Livin' the crazy life

She will tell you
Livin' the crazy life
Livin' the crazy life 11
She's livin' la vida loca

We went to New York City
In the tower of a hotel
She stole my wallet
And took all until my skin

For this I didn't drink
From her cup of liquor
For this I kissed her
With narcotical taste
It is the kiss of heat...


Repeat chorus...
BELLA  
  BEAUTY
Mirame
Por favor
Aqui estoy
Con mi dolor

Ella dio
Un paso atras
Un adios
Y no queda mas

Bella, bella al amanecer
(Solo para mi)
Bella, belleza de mujer

Ella todo me lo dio
Desde alma hasta la piel
Fue mi verso a mi papel
Fue mi amiga y fue mi amor

Conocia mi interior
Como bola de cristal
Me alejo de todo mal
Me dio tu corazon

Me dejo la soledad
A pleno sol
En pleno mar

Si la ves
Alguna vez
Dile que yo
La sigo amando

Bella, bella al amanecer
(Aqui estoy, tan mal, tan solo)
Bella, belleza de mujer

Ella todo me lo dio
Desde alma hasta la piel
Fue mi verso a mi papel
Fue mi amiga y fue mi amor

Conocia mi interior
Como bola de cristal
Me alejo de todo mal
Me dio lo mejor

Bella, bella al amanecer
(Quiero que vuelva a mi)
Bella, belleza de mujer

Ella todo me lo dio
Desde alma hasta la piel
Fue mi verso a mi papel
Fue mi amiga y fue mi amor

Conocia mi interior
Como bola de cristal
Me alejo de todo mal
Me dio su corazon
Look at me
Please
Here I am
With my pain

She took
A step back
A goodbye
And nothing is left

Beauty, beauty at dawn
(Only for me)
Beauty, beauty of a woman

She gave everything to me
From her soul down to her skin
She was the verse on my paper
She was my friend and my lover

She knows me from inside
Like a crystal ball
She kept me from bad things
She gave me her heart

She gave me loneliness
In the full sun
By the sea

If you see her
Some time
Tell her that I
Still go on loving her

Beauty, beauty at dawn
(Here I am, so sad, and alone)
Beauty, beauty of a woman

She gave everything to me
From her soul down to her skin
She was the verse on my paper
She was my friend and my lover

She knows me from inside
Like a crystal ball
She kept me from bad things
She gave me her heart

Beauty, beauty at dawn
(I want her to return to me)
Beauty, beauty of a woman

She gave everything to me
From her soul down to her skin
She was the verse on my paper
She was my friend and my lover

She knows me from inside
Like a crystal ball
She kept me from bad things
She gave me her heart
I COUNT THE MINUTES
This world don't turn when you're not in my arms
The sun don't shine whenever I'm without you
And there's an empty space inside my heart when you're gone
And whenever you're gone, it's too long

And waiting is driving me crazy
Baby, I'm not alive
Till you're by my side, oh

I count the minutes
I count the hours
I count the seconds
Till you're here by my side again

And every minute
Goes on for hours
Until you're with me
Till I look in your eyes again

And time is standing still till you're here with me
I need your love to set me free, set me free
Each night's a lifetime when I'm not with you
And everyday just seems to take forever
I'm missing when I should be kissing you

I can't wait
Cause I live for the love that we make
I can't breathe till I feel you beside me
And I'm lost in the dark
Till you're here in my arms, oh

Repeat chorus...

I can't wait a minute more just to touch you
Cause I love you, baby
Don't make me stay away from you too long
Cause this waiting is driving me crazy
Baby, I'm not alive
Till you're here by my side
Here by my side

Repeat chorus
