Verse 1

I saw you, you saw me, at first it was a joke

Then the truth appears, we exchange smiles

Or:

Some time passed, a bit less than an hour

And under the table, your heel touched my boot

Chorus 1

It was easier than doing the one times table

'La tabla del uno' means the multiplication table for the number one

And at breakfast time, I already knew that I loved you

A few weeks after starting the adventure

The moon became honey and a concert in Tijuana

Or: The moon was honey to us and we went to a concert in TijuanaThe moon was honey to us and we went to a concert in Tijuana

It was forbidden, it was impossible

But we did whatever we wanted

Verse 2

After that we saw each other almost daily

Our friend the calendar gave us four hundred dates

From loving each other so much, we became two strangers

I don't know who holds today your hand

Nor you where am I now

Chorus 2

It was easier than doing the one times table

And at breakfast time, I already knew that I loved you

A few weeks after starting the adventure

The moon became honey and a concert in Tijuana

It was forbidden, it was impossible

But we did whatever we wanted

Outro

As time passed, analyzing the breakup

The version that the wolf has isn't that of Little Red Riding Hood

From loving each other so much, we became two strangers

I don't know who holds today your hand

Nor you where am I now

Surely, the next time that we see each other

Let's repeat the first date

Or: We'll repeat what we did on our first date

SONG MEANING

Picture this: you trade a playful glance with someone across the room, a lighthearted joke flies, and—boom—sparks ignite faster than you can recite the one-times table. Carin León’s “Primera Cita” captures that electrifying moment when flirtation turns into full-blown chemistry, right down to the secret nudge of her high heel against his boot under the table. By the time breakfast rolls around, he’s already sure it’s love, and the adventure quickly snowballs into moonlit nights, spur-of-the-moment concerts, and a thrill that feels as sweet as honey.

But every roller coaster has its drop. The song fast-forwards through four hundred dates, showing how a passion so intense can burn itself out until two lovers wake up strangers. They break the rules, rewrite their own fairytale, and eventually part ways—yet the nostalgia is irresistible. The chorus circles back to that very first date, hinting that if fate throws them together again, they might just hit the reset button. “Primera Cita” is a lively, bittersweet reminder that love can be both impossibly simple and simply impossible, inviting listeners to belt along, reminisce, and maybe even text that old flame.
