El Primer Baile
[Verse] Double shifts and a borrowed truck Crossed a border on hope and luck Your quinceañera, fifteen, white dress I cried in the back — you couldn't tell, I guess [Chorus] Lucía, baila conmigo, one last time (one last time) El primer baile, this dance is mine I'll hand you to him when the song is through (song is through) But mija — you were my first dance too [Verse] Tu abuela's watching from the front row She taught me every step I know We came with two suitcases and a song Mija, look how far that song has gone [Chorus] Lucía, baila conmigo, one last time (one last time) El primer baile, this dance is mine I'll hand you to him when the song is through (song is through) But mija — you were my first dance too [Bridge] (ay, mija...) I thought I gave up everything to come Turns out I carried home — and she's twenty-one Go on, baila, the band's not done [Final Chorus] Lucía, baila conmigo, one last time (one last time) El primer baile, this dance is mine Go take his hand — I'll carry you through (carry you through) But mija — you were my first dance too [Outro] (ay, Lucía) Baila, mija... baila
