HOOK (Intro/Chorus)
(Call & response – this is where people learn 4 phrases immediately)
Hola, mi amor! (say it with me)
Hola, mi amor!
Ven aquí, mi vida! (come close, my life)
Ven aquí, mi vida!
Dímelo despacio (whisper it slow)
Dímelo despacio
By the end of tonight, you gon’ talk like me (yeah, yeah)
VERSE 1
Step in the spot and the vibe so loco,
Energy bounce like waves in a photo.
You say “hola,” I say “what’s up?”
Two worlds mixin’, we about to light up.
You say ven aquí (come close), let’s move,
Dancin’ with a language, I’m learnin’ with you.
Every little word is a beat in my ear,
By the end of the night I’ma speak it clear.
PRE-HOOK
Step by step, palabra by palabra,
You just learned Spanish at the party, mañana.
Clap two times if you feel what I’m sayin’,
Clap two times, everybody translating!
HOOK (Repeat)
Hola, mi amor!
Hola, mi amor!
Ven aquí, mi vida!
Ven aquí, mi vida!
Dímelo despacio
Dímelo despacio
By the end of tonight, you gon’ talk like me (oh yeah)
VERSE 2
From Chicago to Santo Domingo,
Dance floor turn into bilingual lingo.
No stress, no test, this is natural,
Learnin’ through the rhythm, that’s international.
Fuego in your eyes, I say dame la luz,
Your culture, my culture, let’s mix the juice.
Even if I only know a few things,
I’ma sing ‘em loud till the whole world sings!
BRIDGE (100% Spanish – simple words)
Baila, baila, conmigo (dance, dance, with me)
Corazón encendido (heart on fire)
Aprendiste mi idioma (you learned my language)
Ahora somos amigos (now we’re friends)
(Crowd chants “Hola, mi amor” softly over the bridge beat)
FINAL HOOK (Repeat & Build)
Hola, mi amor!
Hola, mi amor!
Ven aquí, mi vida!
Ven aquí, mi vida!
Dímelo despacio
Dímelo despacio
By the end of tonight, you gon’ talk like me
(Beat rides out with chants of “Hola! Hola!”)
