Americano Dance Again
Glee Cast Feat. Kate Hudson Lyrics

I met a girl in east LA
I found a girl in East Los Angeles

In floral shorts as sweet as May
She wore shorts with a floral pattern, as sweet as the month of May

She sang in eighths in two Barrio chords
She sang in a musical style called Barrio, using two sets of eight-note patterns

We fell in love but not in court
We fell in love, but didn't get married

Mis canciones son de la revolución
My songs are about the revolution

Mi corazón me duele por mi generación
My heart aches for my generation

If you love me, we can marry on the west coast
If you love me, we could get married on the West Coast

On a Wednesday, en un verano de agosto
On a Wednesday during a summer month in August

I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I want to dance, love, and dance again

Aah-America-Americano (I wanna dance)
An exclamation of excitement about America and dancing

I will fight for
I will defend

How I've fought for
The way I have fought for

How I love you (la la la la la la la)
My deep love for you

I have cried for
I have shed tears for

I will die for
I will give my life for

How I care (la la la la la la la)
My level of caring for you

In the mountains
In the mountainous areas

Las campanas
The bells

Están sonando (la la la la la la la)
Are ringing

Todos los chicas (Chicas)
All of the girls

Y los chicos (hicos)
And the boys

Se están besando (la la la la la la la)
Are kissing

If this would be a perfect world
In a hypothetical, ideal world

Let's do it, do it, do it
Let's take action

Only got just one life, this I've learned
I've learned that we only have one life

Who cares what they're gonna say (let's do it, do it, do it)
We shouldn't worry about what others will say, let's take action

NYADA Students:
Students from the New York Academy of the Dramatic Arts

I wanna dance!
An exclamation of excitement about wanting to dance
