Dime Otra Vez
My grandma used to say…
“Some things sound sweeter in Spanish.”
(hahaha) I think I finally understand.
Summer night and a crowded street
You were moving to a different beat
I was halfway through a little dance When you smiled and asked
me for a chance
You said something I almost missed Through the music and the way
we kissed I said,
“Wait, what did you say?” You leaned closer and you said it
again
Maybe it’s the music,
maybe it’s the air
Maybe it’s the way you tuck back my hair
I don’t need a thousand words tonight
Just the ones that make this feel right
Dime otra vez, dime otra vez Say you wanna stay with me
Dime otra vez, una vez más Say it like you mean it,
corazón Baila conmigo, don’t let go Take me where the sweet winds
blow Dime otra vez,
dime otra vez Tell me one more time,
mi amor!
(Oh-oh-oh!) One more time!
(Oh-oh-oh!) You’re on my mind!
Dime otra vez, dime otra vez
Tell me one more time!
I was trying to be cool and calm Then you took my
hand into your palm Now I’m stepping on your favorite shoes And
you’re laughing like you’ve got nothing to lose
I remember Grandma’s kitchen light
Her old records playing late at night
Never knew the songs would find their way Into something I would
feel someday
Maybe it’s the music,
maybe it’s the air
Maybe it’s the way you tuck back my hair
I don’t need a thousand words tonight
Just the ones that make this feel right
Dime otra vez, dime otra vez Say you wanna stay with me
Dime otra vez, una vez más Say it like you mean it,
corazón Baila conmigo, don’t let go Take me where the sweet winds
blow Dime otra vez,
dime otra vez Tell me one more time,
mi amor!
Okay, wait, little rewind,
let me hear that again Got me tripping on my feet like
I’m learning at ten I can rap a hundred words in the
blink of an eye But you say three little words and my
brain goes shy! Got my grandma’s old records and a brand-new crush
Got a thousand little butterflies making a fuss You can say it
in English, you can say it in Spanish Just don’t stop talking
when the evening vanishes!
If the night gets quiet And the music disappears I’ll still hear
you saying Everything I needed to hear Quédate aquí
Stay here with me
DIME OTRA VEZ, DIME OTRA VEZ!
Say you wanna stay with me!
DIME OTRA VEZ, UNA VEZ MÁS!
Say it like you mean it,
corazón! Baila conmigo, don’t let go Take me where the sweet winds
blow Dime otra vez,
dime otra vez Tell me one more time,
mi amor! (Oh-oh-oh!) One more time!
(Oh-oh-oh!) You’re on my mind!
Dime otra vez, dime otra vez Tell me one more time!
Okay… Now say it again. (hahaha)
I know, I know.
I’m impossible.
