See below for lyrics in Spanish and English.
I have some new information from user "LEGIONARIO1970" who informs me that this style of music is actually called, "Gustito Calentano," from the state of Guerrero, Mexico. I cannot find much information about this in English so I cannot confirm this information based on certainty, but it does seem as though this information is correct. I would love to have some more information if anyone can provide it to me.
This is a traditional version of 'Las Amarillas,' as interpreted by Los Lobos. Originally featured on their 1990 album, 'La Pistola y El Corazon.' For some reason there was no traditional version of this song on YouTube so I added this for your listening pleasure.
Finally you can listen to the song the way it was meant to be heard, with a traditional arrangement using the traditional instruments.
Spanish Lyrics(English below):
Volaron las amarillas calandrias de los nopales
Ya no cantaran alegres los pajaros cadernales
A la tirana na na
A la tirana na no
Ya no cantaran alegres los pajaros cadernales
Arboles de la ladera porque no han reverdecido
Por eso calandrias cantan o las apachurra el nido
A la tirana na na
A la tirana na no
Por eso calandrias cantan o las apachurra el nido
Eres chiquita y bonita y asi como eres te quiero
Pareces una rosita de las costas de Guerrero
A la tirana na na
A la tirana na no
Pareces una rosita de las costas de Guerrero
En la mediana del mar suspiraba un ballena
Y en los suspiros decia el que la seca la llena
A la tirana na na
A la tirana na no
Y en los suspiros decia el que la seca la llena
Mi padre fue gavilan y yo naci pico pico
Soy como el tarantantan donde quiero meto el pico
A la tirana na na
A la tirana na no
Todos dan su despedida pero como esta ninguna
A la tirana na na
A la tirana na no
Todos dan su despedida pero como esta ninguna
Cuatro por cinco son veinte
Tres por siete son veinte-uno
Cuatro por cinco son veinte
Tres por siete son veinte-uno
Cuatro por cinco son veinte
Tres por siete son veinte-uno
A la tirana na na
A la tirana na no
English translation:
The yellow larks fly from their cactuses
No longer will the cardinals sing happily
their "tirana-na-na"
and "tirana-na-no"
No longer will the cardinals sing happily
The trees on the hillside, since they haven't revived
For this the larks sing, or the nest hold them down
their "tirana-na-na"
and "tirana-na-no"
For this the larks sing, or the nest hold them down
You are little and beautiful, and the way you are, I love you
You look like a little rose from the shores of Guerrero
with your "tirana-na-na"
and "tirana-na-no"
Like a little rose from the shores of Guerrero
In the middle of the sea a whale sighed
And in those sighs he who dried up the flood spoke
with his "tirana-na-na"
and "tirana-na-no"
And in those sighs he who dried up the flood spoke
My father was a sparrowhawk and I was born to peck and peck
Where I place my beak, I'm like a trumpeter
with my "tirana-na-na"
and "tirana-na-no"
Everyone has their farewells, but none is like this
Like a "tirana-na-na"
and a "tirana-na-no"
Everyone has their farewells, but none is like this
Four times five is twenty,
three times seven is twenty-one
Four times five is twenty,
three times seven is twenty-one
Four times five is twenty,
three times seven is twenty-one
With a "tirana-na-na"
and a "tirana-na-no"
