Aye Aye Aye
山塔那Santana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shout
Standing in the doorway
Beneath the moonlit sky
An angel stood before me
And looked me in the eye
Aye aye

Aye aye aye
Aye aye aye
Aye aye aye

She moved up right beside me
And we began to dance
The groove was all around us
The slipped into a trance
Aye aye

Aye aye aye
Aye aye aye
Aye aye aye

Dancing to the rhythm
Moving to the beat
Everybody's singing




You could feel the heat
Aye aye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Santana's song "Aye Aye Aye" are a simple yet effective expression of the power of music to elevate the human spirit and bring people together. The singer describes standing in the doorway beneath the moonlit sky when an angel appears before him and looks him in the eye, prompting the awestruck response of "aye aye." From this point on, the music takes over, bringing the singer and the angel together in dance as they slip into a trance to the grooves that are all around them. The repetition of "aye aye aye" throughout the song works like a mantra, reinforcing the magical, mystical quality of the experience and the power of the music itself.


The lyrics suggest that in the moment of connection and communion between the singer and the angel, everything else falls away, leaving only the music and the dance. The listener is invited to join in and feel the heat of the rhythm and the beat, underscoring the universality of the human experience of music and dance. The message of the song is simple but profound: in a world where so much divides us, music has the power to bring us together, bridging differences and connecting us on a deeper level.
