She was born in Granada in 1970. At 16 years of age Amparo had her first band, Correcaminos. From then, she had been occasionally involved with other Blues, Jazz, Rock'n'roll and Soul music groups as a singer. It was the music of the blacks that gave her the air to breathe. Lee Brillaux of Dr. Feelgood called her ‘the white women with the soul of a black never stop singing’.
She released her last album "La vida te da" at the beginning of 2006.
En la Noche
Amparanoia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que no tengo pa tabaco;
por no tener no tengo
ni casa ni trabajo.
Mi nombre no aparece
en la lista del paro
pero al caer la noche
yo voy calle abajo,
In the night, in the night,
in the night, en la noche
Everybody take my way
I can't never say forget.
You don't love me every time,
you make me feel, you make me cry,
Oh my darling, take my tears.
Oh my darling, set me free.
You don't love me I don't know
sweet darling
In the night...
Tous les jours je fais la même chose
boire le Pastaga eta fire des chansons.
Anne Marie m'a dit viens ici.
Tout le monde chez Braïm;
Je ne sais pas qu'on va faire.
Va te faire enculer,
Je suis empegué, je suis frappé,
on va mettre lóuail.
In the night...
The lyrics of Amparanoia's song En La Noche tell the story of a poor person who doesn't have the money for cigarettes, nor a home or a job. Despite their situation, they continue to walk down the street singing. The chorus "In the night, in the night, in the night, en la noche" seems to represent the solitude and darkness of the night, which could be a time when this person feels even more alone and vulnerable. The following verse then speaks of unrequited love and heartbreak, with the singer addressing a "darling" who makes them cry but also asking to be set free. The third verse seems to be in French and describes someone drinking and singing songs with their friends, but then getting into an argument and becoming drunk and violent.
Overall, the song seems to express the struggles of poverty and loneliness, as well as the painful emotions that come with love and heartbreak. Despite these difficulties, there is also a feeling of resilience and hope in the person's willingness to keep singing and moving forward.

Gracias amparanoia os vi la primera vez en la gira de el poder de machin, yo tenía 17 años comenzaba a tocar la guitarra entonces yo. Fue en la sala aturuxo de Bueu Pontevedra. Cuando vi vuestro nombre dentro de los próximos conciertos recordé q os había escuchado presentando el álbum en radio tres año 97. Gracias de nuevo vuestra música es en buena parte la causante de mi ser actual. Os quiero.

Me encantaria verlos por sur América. Te descubrí hace poco y me enamoro. Los descubrimientos una noche cuidando a mi mamá en el hospital. Me ayudaron a pasar un momento difícil que por suerte fue con final feliz.
