I met a girl in east LA
In floral shorts as sweet as May
She sang in eighths in two Barrio chords
We fell in love but not in court

Aah-America
Mis canciones son de la revolución
Mi corazón me duele por mi generación
If you love me, we can marry on the west coast
On a Wednesday, en un verano de agosto

I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
Aah-America-Americano (I wanna dance)
Aah-America-Americano (I wanna dance)

I will fight for
How I´ve fought for
How I love you (La la la la la la la)
I have cried for
I will die for
How I care (La la la la la la la)
In the mountains
Las campanas
Están sonando (La la la la la la la)

Todos los chicos (Chicas)
Y los chicos (Chicas)
Se están besando (La la la la la la la)

I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
Aah-America-Americano (I wanna dance)
Aah-America-Americano (I wanna dance)

If this would be a perfect world
We´d be together then (Let´s do it, do it, do it)
Only got just one life, this I´ve learned
Who cares what they´re gonna say (Let´s do it, do it, do it)

I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
Aah-America-Americano
I wanna dance
Aah-America-Americano
I wanna dance
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna dance
Aah-America-Americano

I wanna dance!
I wanna dance!
