Hermanita ven conmigo (x2),
Hay aviones cada hora,
Isla del encanto,
Me voy! (x3)
Donde no hay sufrimiento (x2),
Me vieron pasar por la calle,
Isla del encanto,
Me voy! (x3)
Nuestro propio animal canta a la gente pa'gratis ,
Hey babe what are we doing here? .
Laaaaa,loooh,patria.
Isla del encanto,
Me voy! (x3)
Translation
Little sister come with me,
There are planes each hour,
Island of the enchantment,
I'm leaving!
Where there is no suffering,
They saw me pass by the street,
Island of the enchantment,
I'm leaving!
Our own animal sings for free for the people,
Hey babe what are we doing here?
Laaa loooh,fatherland.
Island of the enchantment,
I'm leaving!

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Frank Black was in San Juan, Puerto Rico for a while and that experience surfaced in a lot of his songs. This song is definitely about Puerto Rico. In fact, I was in San Juan last week, and was amused to see that on all the license plates was "Isla del encanto" I was like, hey! That's a Pixies song! And my friends had no idea of course. But a lot of Surfer Rosa comes from Frank's time in PR, as well in other songs. Crackity Jones is about his roommate.
i love when they sing in spanish. when i heard this song i actually started paying attention in spanish class. Es Verdad!
laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! looooooooooooooooooooooooo! Patria. real neato
Ha! I hear this scream in my head when I close my eyes to go to bed. Absolutely my favorite part of any pixies song.
Hmm. I just got back from Vieques...also known as the Island of Enchantment. And I do believe that Frank Black spent a bunch of time in Puerto Rico.
BTW, Vieques is a very nice place. Get there before the hotels move in.
so fantastically bizarre!
Isla de Encanta is simply Black's ode to Puerto Rico where he spent sometime overtime over there during college. No doubt did that have a huge influence on him. It is no secret that Black Francis has a love for the beach life "I am the beach goer but there is no beach".To go from U-Mass (not that great of surfing up there) to talking about his island of enchantment where there is no suffering. He definetly had a good time over there... except the crazy gay roommate
Gotta give it up for Frank Black--he certainly speaks uncannily fluent Spanish for a guy who took a Spanish class while at UMass that sponsored his trip to Puerto Rico--a 6-m0nth sojourn, tops... All this from yours truly, who as a Navy Brat, lived in Spain for 3 yrs. when my dad was stationed at the sub base in Rota (a town in the province of Cadiz, in the southern region of Andalucia an hour away from the Rock of Gibraltar (sp?) ) then took 3 yrs. of High School Spanish. Ay ay ay!!
dont do spanish, but german. so i have no idea what it means. buuuttt, was the first song that i loved. and cause of this, i thought the pixies were from Californiaa....wrong. such a crazy song, infectious happiness
The translation:
Little sister, come with me Little sister, come with me there are planes (flights) every hour
