Lyrics and translation Silvestre Dangond - Vallenato Apretao

Vallenato Apretao

Yo la vi bailar de lejos y soñé despierto
Parecían de otro mundo sus ojitos negros
Quise cantarle en inglés y me salió enredado
Y en su risa descubrí, se me cumplió el milagro

Me dijo: "Ponme un vallenato"
Se me arregló toda la noche
Se fue quitando los zapato'
Y así empezamo' el desorden

Me dijo: "Ponme un vallenato"
Quiero quitarme este despecho
Se fue quitando los zapato'
Y ahora la tengo aquí entre mi pecho

Ay, la tengo
Bailando vallenato apreta'o
La tengo, ay, la tengo
Hablando mi costeño enredado
La tengo

Por ella bailo lo que sea, aunque suene raro
La sigo por el mundo, voy de arriba a abajo
Si con ella me voy, la saco del estadio
Se va a prender la calle si la llevo al barrio
Y pa' qué lo discuto, como tú ninguna
Viendo ese cuerpito me siento en la luna
Cante lo que cante, llena la tribuna
Revienta la pista porque es la má' dura

Ay, la tengo
Bailando vallenato apreta'o
La tengo, ay, la tengo
Hablando mi costeño enredado
La tengo

Me dijo: "Ponme un vallenato"
Quiero quitarme este despecho
Se fue quitando los zapato'
Y ahora la tengo aquí entre mi pecho

Ay, la tengo
Bailando vallenato apreta'o
La tengo, ay, la tengo
Hablando mi costeño enredado
La tengo

Por ella bailo lo que sea, aunque suene raro
La sigo por el mundo, voy de arriba a abajo
Si con ella me voy, la saco del estadio
Se va a prender la calle si la llevo al barrio

Vallenato Apretao

I saw her dance from afar and had a dream
Her black eyes seemed from another world
I wanted to sing to her in English, but I got tangled up
And in her laughter, I discovered my miracle was fulfilled

She said: "Play me some accordion music"
My whole night was filled
She started removing her shoes
And that's how we started the party

She said: "Play me some accordion music"
I want to get over this heartache
She started removing her shoes
And now I have her here in my arms

Oh, I have her
Dancing close to the accordion music
I have her, oh, I have her
Speaking in my tangled coastal dialect
I have her

For her, I'll dance anything, even if it sounds strange
I'll follow her around the world, from top to bottom
If I leave with her, I'll take her from the stadium
The streets will light up if I take her to the neighborhood
And why argue about it, there's no one like you
Seeing that body of yours, I feel like I'm on the moon
Whatever I sing, you fill the stands
You blow up the dance floor because you're the toughest

Oh, I have her
Dancing close to the accordion music
I have her, oh, I have her
Speaking in my tangled coastal dialect
I have her

She said: "Play me some accordion music"
I want to get over this heartache
She started removing her shoes
And now I have her here in my arms

Oh, I have her
Dancing close to the accordion music
I have her, oh, I have her
Speaking in my tangled coastal dialect
I have her

For her, I'll dance anything, even if it sounds strange
I'll follow her around the world, from top to bottom
If I leave with her, I'll take her from the stadium
The streets will light up if I take her to the neighborhood
