What adult pop song is in Spanish, I think singing something that sounds like: (I’m going to slaughter the lyrics for lack of the correct lyrics, so forgive me.)

Por Favor  
Let the ocean beat the waves upon the shore  
Quanta yearos, dantes meros  
Por Favor…

Or, something that sounds like this… :o  
It has a catchy melody…sorry I don’t know much more

I don’t know if this is right, but it kinda sounds like “Bailamos” by Enrique Inglesias, but the lyrics are pretty butchered, LOL. You can hear a midi of it [here](http://www.findmidis.com/download.go/622) and see if that if the same song. Or maybe I’m just trying to fit your lyrics into that one. BTW, [these](http://www.lyrics.ly/lyrics.php/Iglesias+Enrique/Enrique/Bailamos) are the acutal lyrics.
