Primer Pitch
[Intro]
Mm-hmm
Oh-oh
Ay que rico
[Verse 1]
The pot is on the game is done
The radio keeps shouting home run
Chairs pulled round the table set
Sancocho thick the plantain browned
A covered plate is on its way
To the neighbor’s door that’s how we say
Today we ate and you should too
That is what our tables do
[Pre-Chorus]
From the street cart to the family seat
Every hand that shares every friend we meet
It ain’t just food we came to bring
It’s the song that we all sing
[Chorus]
La mesa de todos side by side
(We eat we laugh we come alive)
From the sancocho pot to the chimi flame
(Every plate it tastes the same)
La mesa de todos we’re one and all
Together when the first pitch falls
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh la mesa de todos
Ooh la mesa de todos
[Verse 2]
A grandma stirs the caldero slow
The yuca the pumpkin the oregano
Cousins laugh and dominoes click
Kids run wild the night is thick
A chimi cart outside the gate
A line of fans who just can’t wait
Same warm night same shared street
Same big table where we all meet
[Pre-Chorus]
From the street cart to the family seat
Every hand that shares every friend we meet
It ain’t just food we came to bring
It’s the song that we all sing
[Chorus]
La mesa de todos side by side
(We eat we laugh we come alive)
From the sancocho pot to the chimi flame
(Every plate it tastes the same)
La mesa de todos we’re one and all
Together when the first pitch falls
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh la mesa de todos
Ooh la mesa de todos
[Bridge]
A pot that’s shared a plate that’s sent
A neighbor’s door a night well spent
From the first sip to the last goodbye
We share the table you and I
[Final Chorus]
La mesa de todos side by side
(We eat we laugh we come alive)
From the sancocho pot to the chimi flame
(Every plate it tastes the same)
La mesa de todos we’re one and all
Together when the first pitch falls
[Outro]
Ooh la mesa de todos
Mm-hmm
Ooh la mesa de todos
