[Intro]
Tu cuerpo es siempre puro
Pinto el mapa
Y te prometo el mundo
Colombiana
Yo no soy Cristóbal Colón
Ella me conquistó
En está canción
[Verse 1]
She the Pico
An acropolis
Met her in metropolis
Cultural apocalypse
My limited knowledge with
Speaking a lil Spanish
But I had to polish it
When she speak rapidamente
I’m lost in it
See we connected
Intro through a friend
The type of spark
That feel like a secret dialect
It’s a Romance language
Built for dialectic
Thrilling my affection
Knowing each lesson
Stay between the two
No call for Rosetta
A Spanglish twang
Colonial vendetta
Start the romancing
Treat it like a practice
Is the foreplay
“Jugando antes del sexo”?
(Noooo!)
The translation lost
Get it wrong
And you’ll turn the infatuation off
Keep it cool
This evening
Cooking empanadas
Reason why she keeping
The date en casa
[Pre-Chorus]
Me siento solo y toco mi guitarra
Canto a mi santandereana
Tu vives en mis sueños
Y pienso en mi mamacita
Que baila
[Chorus]
They say pride
Come before the fall
Yeah
But I fell in love with you
And I’m proud of it all
So defying the phrases
Taking the clichés
And making a new language
Saying it to my baby
Saying it to my baby
See I’m really feeling her now
[Verse 2]
I said I ain’t a mere tourist
“Cerveza por favor”
Nor a bull-headed Taurus
But you matador
It’s a date night
The empanadas are in store
With a red dress used
To obscure my sword
“Before she make the kill”
From then we adored
She a student
Like I’m talking Columbia New York
Dis trick of Colombian women
Might be a President
But I swear cigars
Were bought of my own accord
She smoke as I stare
She stare as I roam
The jet black in the hair
The skin colour of gold
The symbol of the element
That you once owned
The lipstick is red
The shade that she chose
Reminiscent of the stripes
But never leaving me blue
The only flag that I’m waving
The same colour as you
When I said the 3 words
Not lost in translation
But lost the relation
Saying “I love you”
[Pre-Chorus]
Me siento solo y toco mi guitarra
Canto a mi santandereana
Tu vives en mis sueños
Y pienso en mi mamacita
Que baila
[Chorus]
They say pride
Come before the fall
Yeah
But I fell in love with you
And I’m proud of it all
So defying the phrases
Taking the clichés
And making a new language
Saying it to my baby
Pride
Come before the fall
Yeah
But I fell in love with you
And I’m proud of it all
So defying the phrases
Taking the clichés
And making a new language
Saying it to my baby
[Outro]
We both saw
We both
But I guess she conquered me
