LA PARRANDA (THE BIG PARTY) Lyrics
Artist: Gloria Estefan
Album: Abriendo Puertas
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 is a 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 alegrŸâ€
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 algarabŸâ€
And so is the din
Que esto no es ningâ' velorio
This no wake
Todo es alegr٠(x 2)
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 alegrŸâ€
What happyness
Tenerte junto a mŒˆTo have you by my side
La vida es m†bonita
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 algarabŸâ€
And the din
Que esto no es ningâ' velorio
This is no wake
Todo es alegr٠(x 2)
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 sodor
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 alegrŸâ€
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 algarabŸâ€
And the din
Que esto no es ningâ' velorio
This is no wake
Todo es alegr٠x 2
All is happy

The merryment gets stronger
La algarabŸâ€
