NOVA

Bass Zen Nova


You came in light, like sugar and flame,
Dancing slow and calling my name.
One glance hit — cha-cha-boom! — I knew,
Some hearts come just to undo.
You turned the beat, I lost my line,
Truth stepped in on 4 and 9.
Didn’t plan it, didn’t race —
Just fell right into your bass.

Now I know the trick of time —
Lose the plan, and feel the rhyme.
You said "forgive" and spun away,
I learned to laugh and let it sway.

🎶 You taught me how to lose— (how to lose!)
With rhythm, grace, and dancing shoes. (zapatos azules!)
No disguise, just sunlit skies,
A sweet mistake with hips that lie.
You're a beat I can’t unhear,
A cha-cha echo in my ear.
I let go, I joined the chase—
You taught me how to lose with grace.

I cursed the step, I missed the cue,
But somehow still I danced with you.
Didn’t win, but oh, the feel —
Not every joy comes signed and sealed.
That monk who scribbled in the shade
Said: “Truth’s a rhythm... not a blade.”
Some loves break, but don’t collapse —
They find new forms between the claps.

Now I dance with hands unclosed,
No more storms — just bossa flows.
You said "be still," and I could see —
I’m not alone inside this beat.

🎶 You taught me how to lose— (how to lose!)
With hips, with heat, with worn-out shoes. (baila, baila!)
No regrets, just stolen nights,
Your rhythm lit my city lights.
You're a groove that kissed and ran,
A rumba wrapped in “what began.”
I let go, then found my place—
You taught me how to lose with grace.

Here’s to things that slipped away,
Songs we meant, but couldn’t stay.
Words unsaid in samba time,
Still alive in rhythm's rhyme.

"Not all love needs a name...
But it moves just the same."

🎶 You taught me how to lose— (ay, cómo perder!)
With rhythm, with fire, with flair and shoes! (¡oye, zapato!)
You were the dance I couldn't fake—
The sweetest spin a soul could take.
You're a laugh that loops in song,
A beat that kept me all night long.
I let go with time and grace—
You taught me how... to lose... with bass.

Lose With Grace

I came too early — don’t get me wrong,
Ten in the morning, but I dressed like a song.
Vienna slept, no churchbell cried,
So I sipped my beer and watched time slide.

Cafés whispered down Strauchgasse way,
Old ghosts flirting in broad café day.
The sun said “stay,” the clock said “fine,”
So I toasted the silence… one more time.

She called me, velvet in high heels,
A true Viennese, where charm reveals.
“Come dressed to impress — Palais tonight!”
But my cologne was barroom light.

Still I winked, said, “Vienna’s mine,”
And tangoed my guilt — one more time.

Then the DJ — oh, bless his soul,
Dropped Daft Punk in a samba roll.
I danced like sin, I spilled my wine,
And whispered inside me: “Last good sign…”

🎵 One more time — I flew where angels spin,
One more time — I let the wrong love in.
One more time — I danced like I owned the floor,
She rolled her eyes… I asked for more.

One more time — the bouncer gave a nod,
One more time — I begged, “Don’t play God!”
But that Palais kiss turned into mime…
And my love got lost… one more time. 🎵

They showed me out with a Viennese bow,
While she posed near a bust I can’t face now.
Her eyes threw daggers in designer tone,
“You danced like a tourist. Now go home.”

Woke up with guilt and my phone like stone,
Typed “Forgive me…” but slept alone.
Her message came like espresso shot:
“Go to hell.”
(She meant it. A lot.)

Could’ve been suave...
Could’ve been grace...
But wine writes wrinkles on a pretty face.
And Palais Ferstel hums my crime,
In 6/8 jazz — one more time.

🎵 One more time — I raised my glass to fate,
One more time — I loved one song too late.
One more time — no roses, just regret,
But oh, that groove — I can't forget.

One more time — she spun without goodbye,
One more time — I danced on her reply.
Vienna sighed, the bells refused to chime…
So I kissed the air —
🎵 One more time... 🎵

One more sip… one more sigh…
One more fool beneath the sky.
She left in heels. I stayed in rhyme.
Still single, baby.
One. More. Time.

One More Time (Latin Jazz)
