Gloria Estefan - La Parranda (the Big Party) lyrics

This song blends a high energy array of grooves such as colobian "chande" with venezuelen "tambores" and an insidious rythmic pattern from a typical snare drum section there Sudden appearance of "bata" drums along with a happy trumpet solo, and choruses that explode into a thick unison of voices resembling a big party. This is a "party" song, where everything is magical, happy, and exhiliarating. it says "this night is far from being over, we are going to have fun until the sun comes up". Van llegando They are arriving La fiesta va a comenzar The party is about to begin Esta noche la parranda Tonight is the big party No tiene como acabar It has no end Ya se escuchan Now they are listening to Las notas The notes Del acordeon Of the accordian De gaitas que enamoran al repique de la tambor Of flutes that love the beating of the drum Que suenen los cueros How the skins sound Todo es alegr All is happy Se pendio el jaleo Its lost in the din Que toque la chirimia How plays the oboe ------------------- Coro: Se formo el jologorio The merryment is building Y la algarab And so is the din Que esto no es ning This no wake Todo es alegr All is happy ------------------ Sigue el baile The dance continues Hoy vamos a amanecer Today we going till dawn La noche va muriendo y hay fiesta por nacer The night is dying and the party is born Que alegr What happyness Tenerte junto a m La vida es m Life is more beautiful Cuando se quiere asi When it is so Un beso a mis viejos A kiss to my old pals Un trago pa'don facunfo A toast for father time Esto si esta bueno This is so good Lechona pa todo el mundo Food for everyone ------------------- Coro: Se formo el jologorio The merryment is buliding Y la algarab And the din Que esto no es ning This is no wake Todo es alegr All is happy ------------------ A la noche respira ilusi The night breaths magic De augurios que le lanzan Of best wishes that are cast Al viento so On the singing winds Mil historias Thousand tales Se tejen mas alla They weave beyond De vidas que abrazan They embrace life De amores que vendran Of loves to come Que suenen los cueros How the drumskins sound Todo es alegr All is merry Se prendio el jaleo Its lost in the din Que toque la chirmia How plays the oboe ------------------- Coro: Se formo el jologorio The merryment is buliding Y la algarab And the din Que esto no es ning This is no wake Todo es alegr All is happy ------------------ Se armo el jolgorio The merryment gets stronger La algarab The din Eso es ning No wake Todo es alegr All is merry Se armo el jolgorio The merryment gets stronger La parranda se prendio The party really going La algarab The din Prendio vamos todos a bailar Lets all dance Ning No wake Todo es alegr All is happy Por el ano que se va For the pa**ing year Se armo el jolgorio The merryment is building Que siga la fiesta Let the party continue La algarab The din Hasta que amanezea Until dawn Ning No wake Todo es alegr All is happy Esta fiesta si est This party is truly good ------------------- Coro: Se formo el jologorio The merryment is building Y la algarab And the din Ning No wake Todo es alegr All is happy ------------------ La parranda no se acaba The parties does not end Hasta el sol de la manana Until the rising sun of the morning Vamos a seguir bailando Lets carry on dancing Que el a As if the year is ending ------------------- Coro: Se formo el jologorio The merryment forms Y la algarab And the din Que esto no es ning This is no wake Todo es alegr All is happy
