(breath)
Esta noche el aire huele a fuego
The stars are falling down on us today
Tu mirada cruza todo el espacio
And I feel it burning from a mile away
(breath)
No hay nada igual a lo que siento
When you move like that I lose my way
El mundo entero se hace pequeño
Nothing else exists when you stay

[hook A — King Africa + María, building]
(María — mezzo warm, age 38, entering like heat)

Come alive, come alive

Recuerdo la primera vez que te vi
Your eyes met mine across the room
Algo cambió dentro de mí
Like the turning of the moon
(breath)
Pensé que era imposible sentir esto
(King Africa — low murmur answer)
Imposible...
(María — voice cracking beautifully)
But here we are beneath the same sky
Ya no hay distancia entre los dos
Nothing more to question, no more why

Todo... todo...
La noche es nuestra, nuestra
Until the morning light

Fuego y ritmo en la noche!

Fuego! Fuego!
(King Africa — adlibs between lines)
Sí! Vamos! Fuera!
Baila conmigo esta noche
(brass + synth + strings simultaneously)
Toda la noche hasta el alba

Give me everything, dame todo
Todo! Todo! Todo!
La noche es nuestra, nuestra
Siempre, siempre, siempre!
