La Parranda
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 alegra
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

And so is the din

This no wake
Todo es alegra (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 alegra
What happyness
Tenerte junto a m to have you by my side
La vida es ms bonita
Life is more beautiful
Cuando se quiere asi
