One of the things I like about Raul Malo is that you can tell he loves music and enjoys pleasing his audience. I still enjoy listening to his music from the Mavericks days, but I also savor his spanish music. Raul's vocals are a great fit for this style, and the band is first class. A fresh rendition of a classic, with a bit of extra spice. Awesome all around.
For those of you that don't understand the words, learning another language, especially Spanish, is fun and challenging but rewarding. Get a Spanish to English dictionary and find the lyrics to songs by groups or artists like Raul Malo, Grupo Intocable, Mana, Shakira, Ramon Ayala, Ricky Martin, Alejandro Sanz...etc. As you read the lyrics, listen to them and use the dictionary to learn what the words mean in English. What great music comes from the folks I mentioned earlier!
Me voy pa'l pueblo Hoy es mi dia Voy a alegrar toda el alma mia Me voy pa'l pueblo Hoy es mi dia Voy a alegrar toda el alma mia Tanto como yo trabajo Y nunca puedo irme al basilon No se lo que le pasa a esta guajira Que no le gusta el huateque y el ron Ahora mismo la voy a dejar En su goio asando maiz Me voy pa'l pueblo a tomarme un galon Y cuando vuelva se acabo el carbon
I love songs in spanish but I don't speak it so I have no idea what they mean. Thanks Jigaboo123456 for letting us know what it is about! I love Raul, his voice is the greatest.
@ksuesue67 I am the same way. I do not understand spanish nor speak it, but man do I love to hear it spoken and sang. Raul and Freddy Fender just drive me nuts
HAHA! I love what this cherful little song means in English. It is about hard-working peasant telling his wife he isn't going to allow his life to be all work on his little patch of ground, he's off to town to have a little fun!
Then he probably just said" Yes , dear, and went back to work!

I remenber this song, hahaha,
