Singer: Alvaro Soler & Ray Dalton
Wake up in Manila
Ride to Belize
Dive into the ocean and feel a little free
Skies of vanilla
Smell it through the breeze
You could be the one take a chance with me (you could, you could, you could)
You’re running circles round your heart (oh yeah)
I know it’s going to be real dark
I take a minute, light a spark (oh yeah)
We can dance until the fall (the fall)
Si te vienes conmigo, piénsatelo bien (-telo bien)
Vamos a cien por hora un poco del revés (del revés)
Porque cuando arrancamos ya no para el tren, eh
Mira que te lo cuento bien, y-eh-eh
If you come with me, think it over well (-over well)
We go a hundred miles per hour a little backwards (backwards)
Because once we start, the train doesn’t stop, hey
I’m telling you clearly, and-eh-eh
Why don’t we live
Why don’t we live
Why don’t we live, just a little bit
Why don’t we stay
Why don’t we stay
Why don’t we
Wake in Manila
Ride to Belize
Dive into the ocean and feel a little free
Skies of vanilla
Smell it through the breeze
You could be the one take a chance with me
Take a chance with me (oh-oh)
Take a chance with me (daba-da, daba-da, ey-ey-ey-yeah)
Take a chance with me
Y si mezclamos mi cerveza y tu tequila
Hoy no hay controles de Berlín hasta Manila (Manila)
Ay, tu sonrisa me parece poesía, yeh (yeh)
Como te digo, como te digo yo
And if we mix my beer and your tequila
Today there are no boundaries from Berlin to Manila (Manila)
Oh, your smile looks like poetry to me, yeah (yeah)
How can I explain, how can I explain
Why don’t we live
Why don’t we live
Why don’t we live, just a little bit
Why don’t we stay
Why don’t we stay
Why don’t we
Wake in Manila
Ride to Belize
Dive into the ocean and feel a little free
Skies of vanilla
Smell it through the breeze
You could be the one take a chance with me
Take a chance with me (oh-oh)
Take a chance with me (daba-da, daba-da, ey-ey-ey-yeah)
Take a chance with me
Why don’t we live
Why don’t we live
Why don’t we live, just a little bit
Why don’t we live
Why don’t we live
Why don’t we live, just a little bit
