La AfroGaita

I thought it was just another Christmas
But fate had me meet you that December
When the gaitas weren’t so happy and I’d go out on Fridays
Searching for something but finding nothing

But then you showed up right there
Like a gift under the little tree
You made me feel
My heart exploded like a firecracker

The next day you texted me
Of course, I was gonna reply
Now I’ve written you like a thousand songs
Who would’ve thought this would happen

Damn girl, everything that’s gone down
It’s been almost a year since that happened
I dedicated "Carmesi" to you
I’m blown away when I get to have that

We broke up, then made up
No one knows we’re together
If we get lost, we find each other
And this Christmas

I’m taking you home to meet my mom
This year I want you as a gift, it’s Christmas
I want you wrapped up, but just for me
I’m sure that meeting wasn’t by chance

I’m taking you home to meet my mom
I’ll see you at your place for the family dinner
The bells are ringing and we’re gonna bounce
Let’s take a spin around Caracas

But when midnight hits, she’s unrecognizable
Let’s toast to the New Year, then we’ll party
If you want to go to Margarita, let’s hit Higuerote
Five to twelve by the sea

Yo yo yo
I can already see us making hallacas at your place
Yo yo yo
I don’t want anyone but you with me, girl

To Caracas
I don’t want to chase any lights, my love
To the beach
Let’s go you and me to feel the heat

Tell your mom
That your guy is the artist who made it solo for Christmas
And on the 24th we’re heading to Maracaibo to live the gaita

Now every December reminds me of you
The ham bread, your addictive kisses, and that Ponche crema that got me tipsy
When I met you

I’m taking you home to meet my mom
This year I want you as a gift, it’s Christmas
I want you wrapped up, but just for me
I’m sure that meeting wasn’t by chance

I’m taking you home to meet my mom
I’ll see you at your place for the family dinner
The bells are ringing and we’re gonna bounce
Let’s take a spin around Caracas

Tell me, Ronny
Tell me, Playo
Your guy is an artist, babe
AfroGaita, babe
So you can listen
