Never dance

One night in Rio I'll never forget
Rhythms of life so wild and so wet
Suddenly out of the darkness he came
Somehow he knew my name
There in the streets in the carnival roar
He whispered come dance with me
Something inside me like never before
Played such a strange melody and I'll
Never dance the way that he moved me
Never kiss the way that he kissed me
Never love the way that he loved me
How can I dance now?
Never knew the heat of desire
Never knew the flames could go higher
Never felt the passion, the fire
Now let me dance again
There in his eyes I was lost from the start
Under his spell, losing my heart
Percussion and thunder collided that night
Painting the sky with light
Out of control going out of my mind
I've never felt so free
I left the dancer and Rio behind
But I found the gypsy in me and I'll Never dance the way that he moved me
Never kiss the way that he kissed me
Never love the way that he loved me
How can I dance now?
Never knew the heat of desire
Never knew the flames could go higher
Never felt the passion, the fire
Now let me dance again
Pecadores y santos seducion y peligro
O-o-oh
Cerrando mis ojos ves el estranger
O-o-oh
Llegando hasta la musica
Sinners and saints and suduction and danger
O-o-oh
Closing her eyes she can still see the stranger
O-o-oh
Rising up to the music
There in the streets in the carnival roar
He whispered come dance with me
Something inside me like never before
Played such a strange melody and I'll
Never dance the way that he moved me
Never kiss the way that he kissed me
Never love the way that he loved me
How can I dance now?
Never knew the heat of desire
Never knew the flames could go higher
Never felt the passion, the fire
Now let me dance again
