Saturday was mine before he ever crossed the doorway Pouring something gold and letting music do the talking Caught him watching me the way the shy ones always do Gave him half a smile just to see what he would do He said tonight I might surprise you — ay, qué lindo Men rehearse their little lines, I've heard them all before But his hand was warm And his rhythm true And I thought, okay, muchacho — let's see what you can do Y bailamos lento — we dance it slow Sin pensar en na' — nowhere else to go Pégate un chin más, come closer now, ven acá 'Cause what we don't say out loud... se baila na' má' (ven acá...) Second drink is sweating and he's forgetting all his English Every word he planned dissolving somewhere on my shoulder We're an inch apart Maybe less than that And I let the lights go soft — I know exactly where the night is at Y bailamos lento — we dance it slow Tu piel contra mi piel — and who's gonna know? Tell me what you want in that voice bajita, ya 'Cause what we don't say out loud... se baila na' má' Ya no quiero hablar inglés ...I don't want to speak English anymore No hay reloj aquí (no hay reloj...) Solo tú y yo y el vaivén Suave, papi, así (así... así...) Quédate aquí conmigo Pégate, que la noche es larga Déjame sentir tu ritmo lento (ay... despacio...) Bésame donde no llega la luz Lo que quieras, pídelo bajito Que esta noche yo te lo doy to'ito (to'ito... to'ito...) ...you don't need to know what I just promised him ...but he does Llegan con to' su discurso ensayado Y se van hablando quedito, a mi la'o Su mano marcando el tiempo Like he finally learned... Hay conversaciones que no son pa' hablar — son pa' quemar (some conversations aren't for talking... they're for burning) Y amanece un chin, la brisa 'tá fresquita Le sonrío suave con to'a la mañanita Bailamos hasta el sol, despacio y sin bulla La noche fue de ambos — la mañana es tuya And the morning comes in slow, the breeze is finally sweet I smile at him easy with the sunrise on repeat We danced until the daylight, no hurry and no sound The night belonged to both of us — the morning's his now Saturday was mine... (hasta el sol...) now Sunday knows his name (na' má'...)
