"Brian May; 19 Temmuz 1947’de Middlesex’in Twickenham kasabasında dünyaya geldi. Öğrenciliği çok başarılı idi. Fizik okuyordu ve müziği ailece Hobi olarak görüyorlardı. Babası ile birlikte, Queen albümlerinde kullandığı ünlü gitarı “ Red Special”i bu yıllarda yaptılar. 1964’de kurduğu ve “1984” adını verdiği grubu ile ilk konserlerini verdi." Muhtemelen Brian May'in ilk kurduğu grubun adının da "84" olması etkilemiş olsa gerek... Pasaj Müzik ve muhteşem prodüktör Ali sayesinde çıkışlarını yaptılar ve artık ünlüler...
La ventana de María
84 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que solo da la primavera
Y un toldo blanco cuando sale el sol
Para escurrirme la saliva
Morenita con rasguito agitanao
O gitana con olor a hierbabuena
Y en el tendero colgaito el corazón
Ella cada noche rompió un corazón
Y los muelles de su cama
Y no se acordara mañana
No tiene oídos para recordar
Que el amor está a tres casas
Otra escalera, otro portal, mi vida y su mirada
Dame tu jaleo, dame de beber
Rebujito, viento, agua de marea
Quiéreme queriendo que yo sea el pez
Que busque corales entre tus piernas
Dame tu jaleo, dame de beber
Que cantando pasó noches en vela
Vive de tu cuento
Y cuéntalo otra vez
Cuentos de limón y de canela
Las caderas de María se mueven al son
De flamenquito y bulería
Y yo le aplaudo desde mi balcón
Cuando la miro y no me mira
Leiroleiroleiro la
Se escucha cuando va a la romería
Y yo la miro, la sigo y me digo es mucha diosa pa un mortal
Y su marido un huevo frito
Y me asomo a cada rato a la ventana
Y no me mira, no tiene ganas
Dame tu jaleo, dame de beber
Rebujito, viento, agua de marea
Quiéreme queriendo que yo sea el pez
Que busque corales entre tus piernas
Dame tu jaleo, dame de beber
Que cantando pasó noches en vela
Vive de tu cuento
Y cuéntalo otra vez
Cuentos de limón y de canela
Cuentos de limón y de canela
Cuentos de limón y de canela...
The lyrics of "La Ventana de María" by 84 describe the beauty and allure of a woman named María, who is the subject of the singer's desire. The opening lines convey the brightness and freshness of spring through the color of María's window and the white canopy that shields the singer from the sun. The singer describes María as having a swaying, agitated figure, perhaps indicating her sensuality or the way she dances to flamenco music.
The lyrics also mention María's heart hanging on the clothesline, as if exposed to the world, and her tendency to break hearts and bedsprings alike. Despite her reputation, the singer seems unable to resist her charm and seeks her attention through the song. The repetitive chorus, "Dame tu jaleo, dame de beber," is a plea for her affection, as the singer asks for a drink and her love.
The song portrays María as a goddess or queen, worshipped from afar, as the singer admires her from his balcony while she passes by on her way to the annual romería. The song ends with an emphasis on the power of storytelling, as the singer encourages María to share her tales of lemon and cinnamon, inviting the listener into her world of exotic and sweet-scented stories.
