Old dancehall in the periphery
Where I spent my youth
That's where I met Maria
My first ever dream of love
The first illusion of my life
Amongst your lights I felt like a king
There I hugged Maria
And Maria didn't understand why
That's where I learned that drinking
Isn't enough to forget
Dear Old Dancehall
My twenty years belong to you
Old dancehall in the periphery
Where I spent my youth
That's where I lost Maria
And I've never understood why
