This song came together in our trip (tour) to Brazil last November. We were very influenced by all
the musical movement in Salvador de Bahia. To a big surprise for us, Salvador has a lot of Dancehall/Reggae movement which we really dig into. We also included the Baile Funk groove which is now massive in Brazil. Part of the song was recorded and programmed on our Hotel in Rio de Janeiro after our visit to Salvador.
The lyrics talk about all the "bad" things we like and want as humans which we usually represent as evil temptations. At the end of the song it concludes that we all have the devil inside and that´s just how we are.
lyrics
Tengo un diablo dentro
El Que No me deja escapar
Me da todo lo que quiero
Ya no lo puedo dejar
Los placeres de la vida
Yo te voy a enseñar
Ven conmigo a gozar
Ya no hay forma de regresar
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo / No le vendas mas
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo / Diablo, Diablo
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo / No le vendas tu alma al diablo
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo
No me digas que jamás
Cuando siempre quieres mas
Es que soy la tentación
De la tuya, adoración
Soy tu dios y soy tu brujo
El que guia tu verdad
Enemigo de tu día
En esta oscura amistad
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo / No le vendas mas
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo / El Diablo
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo / No le vendas tu alma al diablo
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo
Soy guía de tu conciencia
Hágase tu voluntad
Es que ahora somos uno
Ya no hay vuelta atrás
No me vendas alma vieja
Cuando esta gratis vendra
Es que muy dentro de ti
Diablo eres de verdad
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo / No le vendas mas
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo / No le vendas tu alma al diablo
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo / No le vendas, No le vendas
No le vendas tu alma al Diablo
El es, 666, el diablo
Mi son es traicionero, pero te pone a bailar, diablo, diablo, diablo, el diablo
