Bailando alegre, la muneca!
Bailando, bailando
Bailando alegre!
Bailando, bailando
Bailando alegre, la muneca!
Bailando, bailando
Bailando alegre!
Woke up this mornin'
The sun was shinin'
You were on my mind
And I knew right then and there
My life would be filled with happiness and joy
And oh, what a feelin', God almighty
These lyrics are from the song "Bailando/Aquatic Park" by Santana, which embodies the essence of joyful and celebratory Latin dance music. The song begins with the repetition of "Bailando, bailando" which means "dancing, dancing" in Spanish, and is an invitation to let go and enjoy the moment. The words "Bailando alegre," which repeats four times, mean "dancing joyfully", emphasizing the celebratory mood of the song. The mention of "la muneca" (the doll) adds a playful and flirtatious element to the lyrics, as the dancer is being compared to a doll that moves gracefully to the music.
As the song progresses, the singer describes waking up in the morning with the sun shining and his love on his mind, filling his life with happiness and joy. The lyrics convey a sense of gratitude for the present moment, encouraging the listener to embrace life's happiest moments and dance without worries.
Overall, "Bailando/Aquatic Park" is a spirited song that combines traditional Latin rhythms with Santana's signature guitar sound to create a joyful, exuberant piece of music.

Woke up this mornin'
Got out of bed this morning
The sun was shinin'
The sun was shining
You were on my mind
I was thinking about you
And I knew right then and there
At that moment I knew for sure
My life would be filled with happiness and joy
That my life would be happy and joyful
And oh, what a feelin', God almighty
And what a wonderful feeling it was, oh my God
