This is my favorite song! I had to share it with some people who were asking who Ozomatli was when I made a post on Facebook. I have been singing it to both of my children since they were in the womb! My youngest just went to his third concert this morning (2 Ozokids shows and one show when I was 9 months pregnant-- he danced a little more when he was in the womb!) They have been singing "Ozo, Ozomatli, ya se fue, ya se fue" all day! They should add this song to their Ozokids list:)
Couldn't sleep...so I was trolling around to find a song to send to my daughter because I miss her....and I found Ozomatli and this...too beautiful...
My Daughter, since she was 3 months old, now she is almost 3yrs, as been falling asleep to this song. She frequently asks for this song to help her sleep in the car. We have heard this song several thousands times...still love it!
"Couando Canto mi cansion" means when I sing my song. He goes on by singing "quiero inspirar mi jente con una solusion." meaning I want to inspire my people with a solution. thats what i feel the song is all about just living life anjoying the simple things in life. your right its a beuatiful song

I can't believe people actually pay to see this shit. The only thing worth anything here is that the trombone player actually thinks he's cool. That's priceless. hahahahahaha
well this song always sooths my baby to sleep <3 well thw whole street signs album puts him to sleep..... and the chango song make him dance around hahaha
If you've ever seen that commercial about the most interesting man in a Dos Equis commercial...if he can speak French in Russian, I guess Ozomatli can speak Ingles in Espanish. *shrug*
take into account that they are from LA, and 90% of Latinos, Mexican-Americans, Chicanos or whatever you want to call them do not speak proper spanish, most speak spanglish. I know from experience, I didnt realize it was wrong until i read your comment and it dawned on me lol
Lyrics are still amazing, and i'm not sure that he didnt just unconsciously change the lyrics during this live version, the album version may have it worded correctly... just a thought
They're talking about trying to use what little gifts they have (their music) to try and make a difference in the world. "Cuando canto mi cancion" = "When I sing my song."
My room mate can... he plays and i sing it!!! Its pretty cool! Hes a genius when it comes to music. All he needed to do was watch this video twice and he already had it down. Now he adds his own little touches to it!!! I dont think he has it written down music note -wise or tabbed... but i can ask!?!?!
I have loved this band for over 5 years now, have seen them in concert once and going again on Dec.08......I can't wait! They are so much fun to watch and I am a 45 year old white women who doesn't speak spanish and all I want to do is dance!
Let's see if I can recall enough of my high school Spanish. Las canciones de Ozomatli inspiran con la belleza de la música y ritmo, y me traen a mis rodillas. Viva Ozomatli. Not bad for nearly 27 years outof high school. If I listen to enough Ozomatli, perhaps I'll recall more Spanish...gee, that would be hard homework...
Roxxane, he is singing about important things he wants to say to every chicano. He is trying to explain how important is keep your job, your school... all that things, but with a lot of poetry.
Lástima que su español le falla en las conjugaciones de algunos verbos, pero supongo que para un chicano es mucho mérito escribir y cantar en ambos idiomas.
All Ozo songs are about empowerment and change. This one in essence, "when I sing my songs, I hope I inspire people to come up with a solution...when I lay down at night I look to the stars for inspiration...I am not perfect...I hope my work will not be fleeting." Ozomatli rock.
this song is practically a lullaby B-)
