Her major early inspiration was Billie Holiday; Manu Chao, her friend and driving force, said upon hearing her: ‘As a child you swallowed a microphone, and because of this you have that voice streaming out!’.

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.

Little Think
Amparanoia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a song of you
for the wonderful moments with you
this is my single little think
this is only my fantasies

Tranquile, tranquile
c'est pas la peine de sufrir
moi, j'ai compris

c'est pour ca je veux te dire

A little think, a little think, you and me

you know, you know, how much tears in my dreams
you know, the fight never stop

sugar kisses, love me tender, love me all night long
don't forget me, don't forget my soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Amparanoia's song "Little Think" communicate the singer's sentimentality and appreciation for a special person in her life. The song opens with the statement that it is dedicated to this individual for all of the wonderful times they have shared together. The following lines make clear that the song is meant to be something small, a "little think," just a representation of the singer's fanciful thoughts about their connection. The repetition of this phrase creates a sense of intimacy and warmth between the singer and the listener.

The chorus instructs the listener to be calm, not to suffer unnecessarily, and communicates that the singer has already come to terms with something, although it is not specified what. The line "c'est pour ca je voux te dire" means "that's why I want to tell you" and suggests that the singer is about to reveal something to the person the song is about. The recurring phrase "a little think, a little think, you and me" further emphasizes the song's focus on the special person and the singer's sense of closeness to them.

The remainder of the lyrics refer to the difficulties that the singer has faced dreaming of this person, the struggles they have faced, and a desire to be remembered by them. The references to tears and fighting suggest that this is more than just a simple love song, and that there may have been some problems in the relationship. The lyrics imply that despite any issues, the singer deeply loves and appreciates the person the song is about and wishes only to be remembered fondly.
