🎧 Join the community that finally got me speaking Spanish with REAL people in REAL life: Ready to Speak Spanish → https://readytospeakspanish.com/ You sit down. The waiter comes over. He asks what you want. And suddenly — even though you've been studying for months — your brain goes completely blank. No sé lo que quiero. You don't know what you want. Not because the food is complicated. Because the Spanish came at you fast and you weren't ready. This song is for that table. That moment.  LYRICS — ¿Quieres la carta? Intro — soft bossa nova acoustic guitar only, no percussion yet, warm and close-mic'd] WOMAN: ¡Hola! Perdón MAN: ¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás? WOMAN: Bien gracias ¿Y tú? MAN: Muy bien gracias WOMAN: Una mesa para dos personas WOMAN: Tráeme la carta por favor MAN: Aquí tienes [Chorus — x2 — guitar lifts into fuller bossa strum, both voices warm and slightly laughing] WOMAN: No sé lo que quiero MAN: ¿No sabes lo que quieres? WOMAN: No sé lo que quiero MAN: ¿No sabes lo que quieres? WOMAN: Sí, sé lo que quiero MAN: ¿Sabes lo que quieres? BOTH: Sí, sé lo que quiero [Verse 2 — she's a regular now, man knows her order — same easy groove] MAN: ¿Quieres la carta? WOMAN: No, no necesito la carta MAN: ¿No necesitas la carta? WOMAN: No necesito la carta, sé lo que quiero MAN: ¿Qué quieres beber? WOMAN: Quiero un agua por favor MAN: ¿Algo más? WOMAN: No sé... no sé... [Chorus — x2] WOMAN: No sé lo que quiero MAN: ¿No sabes lo que quieres? WOMAN: No sé lo que quiero MAN: ¿No sabes lo que quieres? WOMAN: Sí, sé lo que quiero MAN: ¿Sabes lo que quieres? BOTH: Sí, sé lo que quiero [Bridge — she finally decides, almost laughing, guitar and percussion pull back then swell] WOMAN: Quiero esto MAN: ¿Esto? WOMAN: Sí, quiero esto MAN: ¿Seguro? WOMAN: Sí, seguro BOTH: ¡Sé lo que quiero! [Final Chorus — x2 — warmest fullest version] WOMAN: No sé lo que quiero MAN: ¿No sabes lo que quieres? WOMAN: No sé lo que quiero MAN: ¿No sabes lo que quieres? WOMAN: Sí, sé lo que quiero MAN: ¿Sabes lo que quieres? BOTH: Sí, sé lo que quiero [Outro — bossa nova guitar fades softly, brushed drums fade last] BOTH: No sé... sí sé... BOTH: Sé lo que quiero BOTH: No sé... sí sé... BOTH: Sé lo que quiero... PHRASE TABLE Spanish | English ¡Hola! | Hi ¿Cómo estás? | How are you? Bien gracias ¿Y tú? | Fine thanks, and you? Muy bien gracias | Very well thanks Una mesa para dos personas | A table for two ¿Cómo te llamas? | What's your name? Me llamo... | My name is... Encantada / Encantado | Nice to meet you Tráeme la carta por favor | Bring me the menu please Aquí tienes | Here you go ¿Qué quieres? | What do you want? No sé lo que quiero | I don't know what I want Sé lo que quiero | I know what I want ¿Quieres la carta? | Do you want the menu? No necesito la carta | I don't need the menu ¿Qué quieres beber? | What do you want to drink? Quiero un agua por favor | I want a water please ¿Algo más? | Anything else? Quiero esto | I want this ¿Seguro? | Are you sure? Sí, seguro | Yes, sure GRAMMAR NOTE Sé lo que quiero uses two of the most powerful structures in Spanish back to back. Sé comes from saber — to know. Lo que means "what" when it connects to something — lo que quiero literally means "what I want." Put them together: sé lo que quiero — I know what I want. Flip the sé to no sé and you have the most relatable sentence in the Spanish-speaking world.   🎧 Want the phrases to actually stick?
