Para bailar la bamba

[ET Awful]

Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia y otra cosita
Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba y arriba ire
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, por ti sere
Por ti sere, por ti sere

Bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa mi pa ti
Ay y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba y arriba ire
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan
Soy capitan, soy capitan

Bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba

2. The Youngbloods Did a GREAT Version of That Song

filled with that special Youngbloods sweetness and lilt. I only have it on a European import, though.

to dance the bamba you have to have just a little bit of grace
just a little bit of grace and some other little things
and you have to go go go

6. bad translation

with words taken out of context...in this context arriba would be equivalent to, "let's go!"...or closer...get up boys...let's get going...also marinero is not marine...but more closely mariner...or sailor in the venacular...pa mi pa ti...translate for me for you...

[ahem]

7. Yes, I know. I speak the language. I just meant that I liked Babel Fish

better for the humor. The translations their are hilarious.

8. sorry

bad translations for me are just annoying...babel fish kinda reminds me of the mocking way people used to point out the innacuracies of japanese translations...i lived there for awhile and i just thought it was pointless...an american vulgarity....

i do have a sense of humor...somewhereO8)

[ahem]

9. I should have used an smiley to convey my sense of humor about it,

so you would know I was joking. Personally I love bad translations, as I'm often guilty of them. I can get by in seven different languages, but I'm only fluent in three (almost four.) I'm often made fun in other countries due to my poor choice of words -- children really crack up over it. I always get a laugh when they explain the error of what I've said. Heck, I just find language funny, anyway. It's amazing how much ground you can cover with gestures and smiles. :)

10. well at least you're trying!

there are some people today who would like to do away with the study and use of other languages altogether...i guess language can be funny...and a smile and certain gestures are universal...but language is a powerful thing...words and their meanings are as powerful as any force on this earth...they can convey not just schtick...but the nuances that move us emotionally and intellectually...and that is what i prefer as a musician and a writer and a talker too...

5. Loco el Calor

Corriendo por la carretera tropical
me ha hecho mal el calor,
me vuelvo loco pero muy a mi manera
quizás me alcance aquí la puesta del sol

Pues vuelto a gozar yo quiero renunciar
mandar al diablo al patrón.
Ya no me quejo, me conformo la verdad,
me estas friendo porque el calor esta genial

Vuelto loco ¡vieja! vuelto loco.. ¡¡¡el calor!!!

Bailamos locamente y en el muelle anoche
y me caí al agua ¡Oh no!
Al policía no le hizo gracia alguna
dijo: "Cuidado con la hija del alcalde"

No me quieras frenar y menos para allá,
es lo que digo y quien
entregate al ritmo, difícil es parar
tu sonríes porque el calor está genial

Vuelto loco ¡vieja! vuelto loco.. ¡¡¡el calor!!!

Vamos todos!!!
Vuelto loco vuelto loco el calor!!!
