Name one cocktail that’s even classier than a mojito from Havana, Cuba. Light, minty, refreshing, and with “magic charm” as implied by its name, a mojito is perfect for sipping whenever you’re down for a drink. It is said that Ernest Hemingway liked mojito a lot he even penned his love for mojito on the wall of the La Bodeguita del Medio.
Legends do not order a mojito at a mediocre club, though. Consisting only of 5 ingredients, the drink is one of the most hated orders a bartender could ever expect from a young dude at rush hour. Not only does the ice have to be crushed, handfuls of fresh mint leaves also have to be taken good care of – let’s not mention special mojito cubes have to be prepared beforehand so your mojito would not be watered down in melting ice cubes.
JayChou ’s new song “Mojito” tells a romantic love story with a Cuban Latin dance music. Those sweet moments with your lover are symbolized as the tipsy sensation of drinking a glass of #Mojito with the lilting rhythms and salsa dancing, which makes “Mojito” a hot dance song this summer! Now, real words. Wouldn’t it be even better to sing this song in Spanish to get that #Havana vibes? Thanks to some talented creators on YouTube, #youwasattheclub now.

Mesero déle a mi chica un mojito
Tanto me gusta ver sus ojos borrachitos
Mi mundo entero, se vuelve loco
De ella yo me quedo adicto sin licor
Si hay un puro con sabor dulce a ella
A todos me los fumare sin pensar
Murales lindos, en casco viejo
Por la sonrisa de ella dejan de brillar
Tierras lejanas, quedo preso contigo
Donde te acercas, se va la soledad
Tu pelo largo me va acariciando
Te sigo paso s tuyos, llévame contigo
(From Formosa Español)
Por favor, un mojito pa’ (por) esta hermosa
Con su mirada me emborracha una vez más
Un cafecito, y sin azúcar
Porque ella me endulza toda la vida
Enciende el puro y fumamos en la playa
Y tu sonrisa tan bonita, quiero más
Paredes viejas, y de pintadas
Los colores se oscurecen ante ella
Nena, ven pa’ ca, y bailamos cubana
Y donde sea, bésame en la boca
Los letreros de hierro en la calle
Parecen cartas románticas pa’ el cielo
Se prenden luces, vamos a bailar
En la ciudad tan bella de la Habana
