Actividad Tres

My third activity was a song. I searched the web for a very long time looking for a good song. I finally found this classic which I used to listen a lot to when I was young. This classical song best known version was created by a group called Los Lobos. This means 'The Wolves' in English. This is a Mexican-American band, and is famous all around the world.

This song, is La Bamba.

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia para mà para tà y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba por tà serÃ, por tà serÃ, por tà serÃ

Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitan, soy capitan, soy capitan

Bamba bamba
Bamba bamba
Bamba bamba

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia para mà para tà y arriba y arriba

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia para mà para tà y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba por tà serÃ, por tà serÃ, por tà serÃ

Bamba bamba
Bamba bamba
Bamba bamba
Bamba bamba


This song was, however, originally created by Richie Valens.

This was the lyrics and a translation of the original song.

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia para mi para ti
Arriba y arriba
Arriba y arriba
Por ti seré
Por ti seré
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitán
Soy capitán
Soy capitán

My La Bamba translation into English

In order to dance the Bamba
In order to dance the Bamba
A little humor is needed
A little humor for me and for you
Faster and faster
Faster and faster
I'll be for you
I'll be for you
I'm not a sailor
I'm not a sailor
I'm captain
I'm captain
I'm captain

I liked this song a lot, and brought back many memories when I heard it again today on the radio.
