Verse 1 She danced in the sun, a vision so bright In a dress of red, a beautiful sight Tailor-made for her, fitting so tight Her feet brushed the floor, light as a breeze To the rhythm of music, she moved with ease Playing for her, through the olive trees Chorus Mi amor, mi amor, mi corazón, mi corazón Chiquita, you’re the star of our Pueblo tonight Chiquita with the hair as black as the coal And those shining brown eyes that capture my soul Bailando, Bailando, don't ever you stop Keep on dancing 'til you reach the top Let your castanets click and your energy rise The fire of passion in everyone’s eyes! Verse 2 She twirled in a dance, her ruffles in flight With ribbons so pretty, a colorful light A perfect composition, a magical scene Capturing the hearts of everyone there, like a queen Chorus Mi amor, mi amor, mi corazón, mi corazón Chiquita, you’re the star of our Pueblo tonight Chiquita with the hair as black as the coal And those shining brown eyes that capture my soul Bailando, Bailando, don't ever you stop Keep on dancing 'til you reach the top Let your castanets click and your energy rise The fire of passion in everyone’s eyes! Verse 3 She held a fan firmly within her hand Spinning it rhythmically, the best in the land Only a goddess could move with such grace Showing her magic to the whole human race Chorus (Repeat) Verse 4 A joy to behold, her hips in a sway Rewriting the history of dance today Her beauty is hidden, yet plain to see In the minds of the crowd, wild and free Verse 5 Moving like waves, she creates a cool wind So shapely and perfect, where do I begin? She danced and she danced, she wouldn’t let go Lost in the rhythm, lost in the show Chorus (Repeat) Outro Finally the music died down on the stage In the Pueblo, silence turned a new page The dancer had vanished, she walked out the door And the party was over, on the dancefloor... Papi, papi, Bailando, Bailando Loca, loca, Chiquita, Bailando mi amor!
