[Verse 1]
I saw you by the bakery, you had that confident smile
I practiced “hola, hermosa” in my head for half a mile
I’m a Black guy with a plan, though the plan is mostly vibes
My Spanish has three buttons and I’m pressing all of them tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
I said, “¿Cómo estás?” You said, “Bien, ¿y tú?”
I said, “Muy bien,” then forgot what to do
So I pointed at the menu like a man with a mission
“Una torta, por favor”—that was my big ambition
[Chorus]
Will you be mine? ¿Quieres bailar conmigo?
I’ll bring the mofongo, you bring the ritmo
Let me drink your horchata, I’ll say “gracias” just right
Then I’ll ask for your number in Spanish… maybe next time
Ay, corazón, I’m trying, don’t laugh at my accent
I know just enough to sound sweet and suspicious
Will you be mine? Say “sí” if you’re willing
I’ll learn one more phrase while we’re bachata-stepping
[Verse 2]
I called you “mi reina,” then bowed like a knight
You said, “That’s not a pickup line.” I said, “It worked in my mind”
I asked, “¿Dónde está la fiesta?” You said, “We’re already here”
I said, “Perfecto,” then danced into a chair
[Pre-Chorus]
You taught me “despacito”—I said it way too fast
You laughed so hard your straw went flying from the glass
Now I’m guarding your horchata like it’s treasure from a vault
If I spill it, mi amor, I accept that it’s my fault
[Chorus]
Will you be mine? ¿Quieres bailar conmigo?
I’ll bring the mofongo, you bring the ritmo
Let me drink your horchata, I’ll say “gracias” just right
Then I’ll ask for your number in Spanish… maybe next time
Ay, corazón, I’m trying, don’t laugh at my accent
I know just enough to sound sweet and suspicious
Will you be mine? Say “sí” if you’re willing
I’ll learn one more phrase while we’re bachata-stepping
[Bridge]
I heard “revolú,” now I’m checking the room
Did I start a little chaos by asking for two spoons?
You said, “That’s enough, Romeo,” I said, “Entendido”
Then I tripped on my own shoes—very bien, very smooth
[Final Chorus]
Will you be mine? ¿Quieres bailar conmigo?
I’ll bring the mofongo, you bring the ritmo
One torta, two smiles, and a dance in the night
I’ll say “te quiero” when I learn to say it right
Ay, corazón, I’m trying, don’t laugh at my accent
I know just enough to sound sweet and suspicious
Will you be mine? Say “sí” if you’re willing
I’ll learn one more phrase while we’re bachata-stepping
[Outro]
“¿Quieres ser mi novia?”—did I say that right?
You said, “Almost.” I said, “I’ll take almost tonight.”
