No, Juan. No son gogos, son personas que tienen prisa de camino al trabajo el lunes por la mañana. Y tú todavía estás muy borracho.

No, John. They aren't go-go dancers, they're people who are in a rush on their way to work on Monday morning. And you're still very drunk.

When there's no-one else in sight

In the crowded lonely night

Well I wait so long

For my love vibration

And I'm dancing with myself
