And said a prayer to Yemaya
And then she heard the screams
Watch us seize the day
Just like sweets in cellophane
She says, it was a year ago
She remembers all the firetrucks
It was our night
In her mouth a razorblade
In Happyland
The girls were in tight dresses
To go back into that place
She's got red shoes on her feet
And people say she's loca
And he was calm and handsome
And dance it all away
And that maldito TV crew
Packed, the place was packed
Bailare, esa noche, bailare
She says, this is my night
Packed, the place was packed
In Happyland
And a red smile on her face
It was on a summer night
Bailare, esta noche, bailare
So, "Mi amor, this song's for you"
And luz from Camaguey
And saw the smoke come down
The hottest club in town
She says
Too many people to be safe
In her hand a single rose
Watch me seize the day
The chicos lookin' for some play
And dance it all away
It was on a summer night
Hot, the place was hot
In Happyland
He wore a satin shirt
Everyone was there, Sabroson from Spanish Harlem
But where else were they gonna go
She says, a year ago today
In Happyland
And he, he didn't make it
And then it really turned into
Bailamos, esa noche, bailamos
As they squeezed through to the bar
