Planta tus pies como dos raíce'
Con ese tumbao' puede que me hechize'
Cuidao' que no te pise, mamita con cautela
Sacude la tela en el nombre de tu abuela

Mi canelita, mi azucarita, mi linda Sara
Mi tormentita huracanada, mi santa Clara
No vo' a dejar que te pise ninguna cosa rara
Vo' a prender las velas pa' que no te pase nada

Aquí no hay cuchillos ni pistola
Aquí hay muchas, muchas, muchas, muchas, mucha cacerola'
Aquí hay mucho sol, mucha playa, mucha ola
Aquí todo es melaza, nada de pandola

Te vo' a pintar la playa azul crayola
Fuímonos, que vámonos, que fuímonos en yola
Si no hay yola lo seguimos de rola
Pa' que, pa' que veas como flota tu cola

Cuando te vi me dio mucha cosquilla
Fue como tener a cuarenta hormiga'
Rascándome la barriga
Tú sabes, tú sabes, tú sabes que estás que estilla

Me llevaste el pantalón, tú ere' una pilla
Vamo' a embarrarno' en una tortilla
Vamo' a hacer tembleque mezclao' con natilla
Me como tu madera con to' y polilla

Ella eh-eh-eh
Ella eh-eh-ella
Ella eh-eh-eh
Ella eh-eh-ella

Quiero ver a toíta' la' jirafa'
Quiero que me pataleen a ver quien se zafa
Revolviendo la masa
Quiero cuatro taza' de zanahoria con calabaza

Tú me llevas volando por el campo
Despegao' del piso, caminando en zanco'
Con una canasta de patanco
Pa' caminarle por encima a los barco'

Hasta llegarle a tu cordillera
La que me sana de to', la curandera
Por ahí hay rumore'
De que tú ere' la suerte de to' los colore'

Un huerto repleto 'e frijole'
Mucho collar adornao' con caracole'
Tu nombre me salió en las tres tarjeta'
Me lo dijeron los cometas

Que me meta hasta el fondo sin chapaleta
Que me fuera en el viaje sin maleta
Para darle la vuelta completa
A to' el planeta en una colchoneta

Zapa, zapa, zapa, zapatea la suela
Vamo' a enroscar la arandela
Dame, dame, dame, dame un poco de Nutella
Contigo yo me voy sin na', a capella

Ella eh-eh-eh
Ella eh-eh-ella
Ella eh-eh-eh
Ella eh-eh-ella

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
