Looking for the Horse (Tribute to Johnny Ventura) (feat. Milly Quezada and Jandy Ventura)

(Hey, excuse me, ma'am)
(Is Johnny Ventura's house around here?)
(Oh, yes, son, right on the corner.)

There are things that entertain me
And others that don't make me feel like it
I wanted to record merengue
Because that cheers up my soul

I left without thinking twice
To the Dominican Republic
I could catch several fish
With just one cast net

And like a lightning bolt
We went out to look for the horse
And like a lightning bolt
We went out to look for the horse

I'm the horse, they call me Johnny Ventura
In merengue, you know there's structure
I'm the black man who adds flavor
And for you, we're going to do something crazy

To write stratospheric merengue
To cross hemispheric levels
To forget Neolithic matters
To feel an electrolytic shock

Schubert, Mozart, and Chopin, their songs are so beautiful
But nothing compares to a merengue from Quisqueya
What duck a la thermidor or what dripping potatoes
Nothing beats a Dominican merengue

I was in Santo Domingo, more famous than my glory
Johnny, with his kindness, had taken me to glory
Suddenly, like a lightning bolt, to a woman passing by
He said: Milly Quezada, come, let me introduce you to Carlos

And as if nothing
I met Milly Quezada
And as if nothing
I met Milly Quezada

You arrived at my paradise and already saw how things are
Enjoying a good merengue, what tasty music!
Colombia and Santo Domingo are two very beautiful lands
They embrace in a merengue, and you see how much fun it is!

Because music is a being
That makes you reborn
And lets itself be loved
And gives you goosebumps
With its womanly soul

(Queen Milly)
(How delicious, daddy)
(I love it, Milly, thanks, Jandy)
(Hey, Euri, this is for dancing)
(This merengue is so good, Carlos)
(It's for you, Johnny, I love you)

What a trip abroad or what Marseille soufflé
Nothing beats your love and a good coffee in my Quisqueya
What dessert in Benidorm or what flambéed apple
Nothing beats a Dominican merengue
