How you smile when you look at me

You make it so that everything in life shines

The prettiest thing is the color of your lips

And when we sit together in the classroom

When I walk you look at me

And there's nowhere for us to hide

Close the door

Let's play for the first time

You have something that pulls me in

Come on, smile, I like it like that

When you come closer to me

My eyes move to the rhythm of your skirt

All the glances aren't enough for me to describe

What you make me feel

It was so innocent

And now suddenly

We felt like losing control

We were just friends and now it's different

Watching the dawn together like teenagers

And you felt like losing control

I won't be able to hide it for too long

If you come closer

I swear I'll steal a kiss from you

You have something that pulls me in

Come on, smile, I like it like that

When you come closer to me

My eyes move to the rhythm of your skirt

All the words aren't enough for me to describe

What you make me feel

The room's windows will fog up

And maybe we won't get to the bazaar in time

But you're gonna like being here a little longer

You know I'm not good at dancing

But with you I want to stay all night

You have something that pulls me in

Come on, smile, I like it like that

When you come closer to me

My eyes move to the rhythm of your skirt

All the words aren't enough for me to describe

What you make me feel

SONG MEANING

"La Primera Vez" (The First Time) captures the butterflies and electricity of crossing the line between friendship and romance. Colombian singer Manuel Medrano and Juliana trade verses describing how simple moments, like sharing a classroom seat or walking down the hall, suddenly sparkle when hidden feelings surface. Her smile makes the whole world shine, his eyes follow the rhythm of her skirt, and neither words nor glances are enough to describe the rush. The song paints a scene that is at once innocent and daring, portraying that instant when curiosity wins, the door closes, and the pair is ready to steal a first kiss and lose control like teenagers watching the sunrise.

Musically warm and lyrically playful, the track celebrates the irresistible pull of attraction: the way a single look can trap you, how shy friends turn into bold lovers, and how even a self-professed bad dancer wants to stay all night when the connection feels right. "La Primera Vez" is an ode to the sweet chaos of a first-time fling, reminding listeners that fogged-up windows, missed plans, and racing hearts are all part of discovering each other. For English learners, it is a melodic lesson in colloquial Spanish packed with vivid imagery and emotion.
