What is “Dale” about?
"Dale" is a dance-floor command, taking its title from the Spanish shout of encouragement that powers the hook. Santiago Fuego pulls up to the party, counts the crowd in, and trades lines with a partner who dares him to show what he's got, with the dembow "beating in your corazón." Everything in the lyric points toward going higher and never stopping. Following Vamos as the second track on Paraíso, it keeps the opening energy at full speed.
Dale lyrics
(Dale, dale, dale!)
Pull up to the party, yeah we run this place
Everybody moving, feel the bass in your face
DJ drop that beat, let the speakers blow
Dale, dale, dale, here we go
No hay freno, this is full speed ahead
We came to party, nobody's going to bed
Hands up if you feeling this vibe
We're taking over, it's our time
The floor is shaking
The whole place is breaking
Can you feel it? Dale!
Can you feel it? Dale!
Dale, dale, dale
Moving like we never fail
Dale, dale, dale
Turn it up another level
Dale que dale, no te pares
This is how we light the fire
Dale, dale, dale
Take it higher, higher, higher
She said \"papi, show me what you got\"
I said \"mami, I'mma give it all I got\"
Sudor on the dance floor, calor in the air
Everybody staring but we don't care
This is our moment, nuestra canción
Feel the dembow beating in your corazón
From the front to the back, side to side
Dale, this is gonna be a crazy night
The floor is shaking
The whole place is breaking
Can you feel it? Dale!
Can you feel it? Dale!
Dale, dale, dale
Moving like we never fail
Dale, dale, dale
Turn it up another level
Dale que dale, no te pares
This is how we light the fire
Dale, dale, dale
Take it higher, higher, higher
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro
Everybody on the floor now
Manos arriba, let me hear you say
Dale! Dale! Dale!
Dale, dale, dale
Moving like we never fail
Dale que dale, no te pares
This is how we light the fire
Dale, dale, dale
Take it higher, higher, higher
(Dale...)
(Eso, eso!)
