Bailar Lyrics in English by Deorro, Elvis Crespo
Prende comes from the verb prender, which literally means "to turn on" or "to light up", like a light switch or a fire.
In many Latin American countries, it's also popular slang for something that excites you or gets you hyped up. When the song says "esta música sabrosa que me prende", it means "this delicious music that gets me going" — capturing that feeling when a great song comes on and fills you with energy!
"Bailar" wastes zero time getting straight to the party. Deorro pairs up with merengue legend Elvis Crespo to drop you right in the middle of a loud, sweaty dance floor. The instructions are as direct as they come: "Vamo a bailar" ("Let's dance") and "Muevete pa'ca" ("Move over here"). The mood builds step-by-step as drinks start flowing, with Crespo shouting about how "el whisky calentando" ("the whiskey is warming things up") while the music pulls everyone in.
Then things get wonderfully absurd. Crespo spots a girl on the floor and claims, "Sudaba tequila yo quiero probar" ("She was sweating tequila, I want a taste"). That is definitely over the top, but the swagger does not stop there. He brags that "Beyoncé y Rhianna la van a envidiar" ("Beyoncé and Rihanna are going to envy her") because she moves like a goddess. Along the way, the track throws in great everyday club slang like "pa gozar" (short for para gozar, meaning to have a blast or enjoy yourself) and commands like "Aprieta" ("Squeeze tight" or "Hold close"). It is loud, goofy, and built for moving.
