Romeo Santos, “La Diabla”
When I hear the card shuffling at the very start of the introduction to the song, making me recognize it as “La Diabla”, I just say: “Are you ready to play?”, when I ask for a dance.
After the table with lyrics in Spanish and English side by side, three videos: one with Spanish/English lyrics, one with Spanish lyrics only, and the official video at the very end.
