Tuesday Nights in La Capital Lyrics

Mmm, mmm, oh, yeah

This is my story, my escape, my rhythm

Tu sabes, mi gente

Waking up before the sun, I tie my hair with care

The streets of Santo Domingo know the weight I bear

Little hands to feed, little dreams to grow

I hustle hard, my sacrifice they'll never know

I'm the mother, the sister, the strength they see

But sometimes I need to dance, I need to feel free

Oh, the days they blur, from morning to night

But there's one thing that keeps my spirit alive

Every Tuesday night, I let my soul unwind

In the arms of the rhythm, I leave my world behind

Bachata plays, and I'm lost in the sway

For a moment I'm free, it's my getaway

At the market selling dreams, counting every dime

The heat is heavy, but I make the best of time

Neighbors whisper, "She's so strong, she never cries"

But they don't see my reflection when I close my eyes

I crave the music, the way it lifts my heart

Tuesday nights, that's when my real life starts

Oh, my heels hit the floor, my dress spins around

For those few hours, I'm no longer bound

Every Tuesday night, I let my soul unwind

In the arms of the rhythm, I leave my world behind

Bachata plays, and I'm lost in the sway

For a moment I'm free, it's my getaway

In the glow of the dance hall, the lights soft and low

The music speaks the words I never let show

A stranger's hand finds mine, no promises to break

Just a simple connection, a step I can take

The beat of the guira, the hum of guitar

Takes me away to a world so far

Every Tuesday night, I let my soul unwind

In the arms of the rhythm, I leave my world behind

Bachata plays, and I'm lost in the sway

For a moment I'm free, it's my getaway

And when the music ends, and the night turns to day

I'll be back to my life, but this love will stay

Santo Domingo, my heart's melody

Tuesday nights, you're the freedom in me

Mmm, mmm, oh

You're the freedom in me
