Antonio Banderas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me gusta lo mejor,
A mujeres no me faltan ni el dinero ni el amor.
Jinetiendo en mi caballo,
Por la sierra yo me voy,
Las estrellas y la luna ellas me dicen donde voy.
Ay ay ay ay,
Ay mi morena
De mi corazòn.
Me gusta tocar guitarra,
Me gusta cantar el son,
El mariachi me acompaña,
Cuando canto mi canciòn.
Me gusta tomar mis copas,
Aguardientes lo mejor,
Tambien el tequila blanco con su sal de la sabor.
Ay ay ay ay,
Ay ay mi amor,
Ay mi morena
De mi corazòn.
Me gusta tocar guitarra,
Me gusta cantar el sol,
El mariachi me acompaña,
Cuando canto mi canciòn.
Me gusta tomar mis copas,
Aguardientes lo mejor,
Tambien el tequila blanco con su sal de la sabor.
Ay ay ay ay,
Ay ay mi amor,
Ay mi morena
De mi corazòn.
Ay ay ay ay,
Ay ay mi amor,
Ay mi morena
De mi corazòn.
The lyrics of Antonio Banderas's song Spanish Guitar depict a man who takes pride in his honesty, loves the good things in life, and never lacks for both money and love. He rides his horse through the mountains guided by the stars and the moon. The song is delivered in a romantic, passionate tone where he expresses his love for a beautiful woman or "morena" as he calls her. He sings in Spanish throughout the song and expresses his passion for playing the guitar, singing songs, and drinking tequila with salt. The lyricism in the song is captivating and paints a vivid picture of his life and passions.
The song Spanish Guitar was featured in the movie "Desperado" where Antonio Banderas was the lead actor. The song is a crucial component of the movie's soundtrack as it is played during the climactic love scene between him and Salma Hayek. The movie elevated both the song and Banderas's popularity in Hollywood. Interestingly, the song is sung by Banderas himself, which is a rare feat in the entertainment industry where known actors typically sing cover songs.

I believe the Desperado movie and specially the song El Mariachi inspired a lot of people, both young and old, to pick up the guitar and learn to play.
