Repite conmigo. Repeat after me. No mumbling. [Verse 1 - survival Spanish, sing then repeat] First the basics, mi amor: "Donde esta el bano?" "Donde esta el bano?" Where's the bathroom. Good. Now you're thirsty: "Una cerveza, por favor." "Una cerveza, por favor." This is Jalisco: "un caballito de tequila." "un caballito de tequila." Tequila's born here, baby. Prefieres mezcal? "Un mezcal, por favor." "Un mezcal, por favor." Slow sips, guapo. "Cuanto cuesta?" How much. Don't get robbed. "Cuanto cuesta?" And when you're done... "La cuenta, por favor." The check. "La cuenta, por favor." Perfecto. [Profesora] Okay... back to you, guapo. Show me who you are.

You walk into a room. Que vas a decir? What do you say? [Verse 2 - social Spanish, sing then repeat] Keep it cool: "Que onda?" What's up, tapatio style. "Que onda?" Eso. Now introduce yourself. "Como te llamas?" What's your name. "Como te llamas?" She answers, you smile: "Mucho gusto." "Mucho gusto." A pleasure. Good. "Soy canadiense, acabo de llegar a Ajijic." "Soy canadiense, acabo de llegar a Ajijic." "De donde eres?" Where are you from. Stay curious. "De donde eres?" And when something's good: "Orale, que chido!" "Orale, que chido!" Now you sound like a local. [Profesora] Mmm. Better. Back to you. Sing it like you mean it.

Don't freeze. Repite conmigo, despacito. [Verse 3 - bold and flirty, sing then repeat] Look her in the eyes: "Tienes una sonrisa preciosa." "Tienes una sonrisa preciosa." A beautiful smile. Be bold: "Te puedo invitar un trago?" "Te puedo invitar un trago?" Can I buy you a drink. The music's playing: "Bailamos?" "Bailamos?" Shall we dance. Offer your hand. And then the truth: "Me encantaria conocerte mejor." "Me encantaria conocerte mejor." I'd love to know you better. Mirala. Mean it. [Profesora] Ay, guapo... you're learning. Back to you. [Chorus] I know with a K, I walk with intención This is mine, this breath, this build, this day I wait for the yes, then I move, órale! Soy el rey, playful, present, alive Camino con intención This is mine, watch the story go [Bridge - drum and bass break drops, then builds, harmonies stack] (Sean, full voice) I gave thirty years to a room that didn't see me Now I carry my own warrant, nobody decrees me Legitimacy ain't given, it's recognized at the door This is mine, this body, this breath, I'm not asking anymore (Profesora, softer) I see you, Sean. I always did. That's why I push you. Potencial como el tuyo? No lo desperdicies. (both) Take command, sin ego, con amor. The king who answers above. Ahora... muevete! [Profesora] One more lesson, muchacho. The real one. The honest one. [Verse 4 - the truth, sing then repeat] Tell her straight: "No busco algo serio, pero si algo real." "No busco algo serio, pero si algo real." Not looking for forever, looking for something real. "Me gustas... y te respeto." I like you, and I respect you. "Me gustas... y te respeto." Always with respect. And the way in? "Me ensenas a cocinar?" "Me ensenas a cocinar?" Will you teach me to cook. "Cocina conmigo." Cook with me. "Cocina conmigo." Now you're speaking my language. [Final Chorus - biggest, all harmonies, horns] I know with a K, I walk with intención Fire in the chest and the knowing's never wrong This is mine, this breath, this build, this day I wait for the yes, then I move, órale! I don't rush, I don't chase, I arrive Soy el rey, playful, present, alive Camino con intención This is mine, watch the story go
