(Intro - Lil Ace)
Hey, Lil Ace in the house — heartbeat on the bass, lights low, eyes bright.
Girl, there are a thousand words in the world, but one I wanna say right.
No schoolbooks, no classes, just me and this truth in my chest —
Teach me nothing else, babe, just teach me how to say I love you best. (ooo, yeah)
(Verse 1)
City lights, late nights, I’m tracing maps with my hands,
All the letters and accents, but you’re the place where my heart lands.
People talk in a thousand tongues like falling rain from the sky,
I don’t need the grammar of the world — just need the courage when I try.
(Pre-Chorus)
Close your eyes while I gather every simple line,
One line for every sunrise, one promise for all time.
I’ll wrap the world in a whisper, make the chorus clear and true —
Every path leads me to three small words I wanna say to you.
(Chorus) [tight, rhythmic hook — compact, energetic]
I love you (English) — I love you
Te amo (Spanish) — te ah‑mo
Nakupenda (Kiswahili) — na‑ku‑pen‑da
我爱你 (Chinese) — wǒ ài nǐ
Ich liebe dich (German) — ich lee‑buh dich
Je t’aime (French) — zhuh tem
Te amo (Latin) — te ah‑mo
Eu te amo (Portuguese/Brazilian) — eh‑ooh chee ah‑moh
Main tumse pyaar karta hoon (Hindi - male) — main tum‑se pyaar kar‑ta hoon
Mo nifẹ rẹ (Yoruba/Nigeria) — mo nee‑feh reh
(ooo, yeah) — I love you.
(Verse 2)
You laugh and the world translates into summer and gold,
Every syllable’s a sunrise, every look a story told.
I’ll stumble on pronunciation, but my heart will never fall —
Say it wrong, say it soft, say it loud — I’ll say it all.
(Pre-Chorus)
From classroom dreams to midnight schemes, I’ll practice 'til it’s true,
So when I look into your eyes, I’ll know just what to do.
No passport, no map, no need to roam — I’ll bring the meaning to you,
One phrase in many ways, one home inside the words I choose.
(Chorus) [energy up, add ad‑libs and syncopation]
I love you (English) — I love you (ooo)
Te amo (Spanish) — te ah‑mo (yeah)
Nakupenda (Kiswahili) — na‑ku‑pen‑da (na na)
我爱你 (Chinese) — wǒ ài nǐ (woo)
Ich liebe dich (German) — ich lee‑buh dich (ah)
Je t’aime (French) — zhuh tem (la)
Te amo (Latin) — te ah‑mo (say it)
Eu te amo (Portuguese/Brazilian) — eh‑ooh chee ah‑moh (ooo)
Main tumse pyaar karta hoon (Hindi - male) — main tum‑se pyaar kar‑ta hoon (say it back)
Mo nifẹ rẹ (Yoruba/Nigeria) — mo nee‑feh reh (mo‑mo)
I love you (English) — I love you (you, you) — (call & response)
(Bridge) [breathy, intimate — build with falsetto ad‑libs]
From the streets of Madrid to the shores of Dar es Salaam,
From Beijing’s neon rivers to Lagos’ golden palms.
Every accent, every echo — feeds the way my heart moves you,
I’ll learn the sound of 'home' in every language just to prove it’s true. (ooo)
(Bridge — vocal run / ad‑lib)
Ooo — te ah‑mo — na‑ku‑pen‑da — wǒ ài nǐ — ich lee‑buh dich — je t’aime — (yeah)
Main tum‑se pyaa
