Livin' la Vida Loca
"Livin' la Vida Loca" is a number-one hit song by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin. It was released on March 23, 1999 from Martin's self-titled debut English album (he had previously released several albums in Spanish). The song was composed by Desmond Child and Draco Rosa and topped the charts during 1999. La vida loca is Spanish for "the crazy life."
"Livin' la Vida Loca" is generally seen as the song that began the Latin pop explosion of 1999 and made the transition of other Spanish-speaking artists (first Enrique Iglesias, then later Shakira, Thalía, and Paulina Rubio) into the English-speaking market easier. Before this time, most non-Latino Americans had never heard of Martin until what CNN reported was a show-stopping performance of "La Copa de la Vida" at the 41st Grammy Awards show, which became a catalyst in bringing Latin pop to the forefront of the U.S. music scene. "Livin' la Vida Loca" sold over 8 million copies, making it one of the best selling singles of all time.

La Vida Loca
by: Shrek 2 SoundtrackLivin' La Vida Loca (Version Original)
La reina de la noche
La diosa del vudu
Yo no podre salvarme
Podras salvarte tu?
La tela de la arana
La una del dragon
Te lleva a los infiernos
Ella es tu adiccion
Te besa y te desnudo con su baile demencial
Tu cierras los ojitos y te dejas arrastrar
Tu te dejas arrastrar
Coro :
Ella que sera
She's livin' la vida loca
Y te dolera
Si de verdad te toca
Ella es tu final
Vive la vida loca
Ella te dira
Vive la vida loca
Vive la vida loca
She's livin' la vida loca
Se fue a New-York City
A la torre de un hotel
Te ha robado la cartera
Se ha llevado hasta tu piel
Por eso no bebia
De tu copa de licor
Por eso te besaba
Con narcotico sabor
Es el beso de calor
Coro
Te besa y te desnudo con su baile demencial
Tu cierras los ojitos y te dejas arrastrar
Tu te dejas arrastrar
Coro x2
Come on!
Dada dada la vida loca
Dada dada la vida!

Living Life Crazily (Version English)
The queen of the night
The goddess of voodoo
I couldn't save myself
Will you be able to save yourself?
The spider's web
The den of the dragon
Brings you to hell
She's your addiction
She kisses you and undresses you with her devilish dance
You close your eyes and let yourself get carried away
You let yourself get carried away
(Chorus:)
She will be the one
She's living life crazily
And she'll hurt you
If she touches you deeply
She's your end
She lives life crazily
She'll tell you
Live life crazily
Live life crazily
She's living life crazily
She went to New York City
In the tower of an hotel
She stole your wallet
She came under your skin
That's why she didn't drink
In your liquor's cup
That's why she kissed you
With a narcotic taste
It's the heat's kiss
(Chorus)
She kisses you and undresses you with her devilish dance
You close your eyes and let yourself get carried away
You let yourself get carried away
(Chorus)
Come on!
Dada da da the crazy life
Dada dada the life!
