Today we're going all the way down

Today we tear up the spot

Everybody going crazy

But she never loses the rhythm

If she catches on fire

With you I'm gonna burn

DJ, turn the mambo up

That this party's gonna start

To the left, to the right

Call the firefighters

So that they put out that fuse

To the left, to the right

Call the firefighters

So that they put out that fuse

Everybody knows the clave

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know

All the way down so that tonight

No, no, no, it ends

Everybody knows the clave

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know

All the way down so that tonight

No, no, no, it ends

If she catches on fire

With you I'm gonna burn

DJ, turn the mambo up

That this party's gonna start

To the left, to the right

Call the firefighters

So that they put out that fuse

To the left, to the right

Call the firefighters

So that they put out that fuse

Come on, put it out, put it out

That tonight we're leaving just you and me

Come on, babe, put it out, put it out

You arrived at the party, the heat started

Today all the single people don't stay outside

Everybody's going inside that tonight's great

All the single people don't stay outside

Everybody's going inside that tonight's great

To the left, to the right

Call the firefighters

So that they put out that fuse

To the left, to the right

Call the firefighters

So that they put out that fuse

Everybody knows the clave

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know

All the way down so that tonight

No, no, no, it ends

Everybody knows the clave

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know

All the way down so that tonight

No, no, no, it ends

SONG MEANING

La Clave is Chayanne’s invitation to turn an ordinary night into a full-throttle dance explosion. From the very first line, he urges everyone to drop hasta abajo (all the way down) and follow la clave—the irresistible rhythm that every partygoer instinctively knows. The DJ cranks up the mambo, bodies move left and right, and the atmosphere gets so hot that Chayanne jokingly calls for firefighters to cool things down.

Beneath the playful imagery, the song celebrates freedom, unity, and living in the moment. Singles are welcomed, friends pack the dance floor, and no one wants the night to end. With its catchy call-and-response lines and pulsing beat, La Clave reminds listeners that sometimes the “key” to happiness is simply losing yourself in the music and dancing until sunrise.
