Saludo a los barrios
Canario Luna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vieja barriada sin fin
Junto al Buceo sientan el latir
Viejo Palermo Barrio Sur gentil
Jacinto Vera es nuestra voz
El pantanoso con amor.
Cordón
Cerrito lindo, hermosa Comercial
Reducto franco y la Villa Muñoz
Entrelacemos el cantar
Punta Carretas se unirá.
En Carrasco será
Tal vez Nuevo París
Uniremos el canto adquirido.
Goes, Brazo Oriental
Capurrense feliz
Llegaremos al Sayago amigo.
Viene
Paso Molino hemos de recordar
Sus verdes prados que nos vio pasar
De algún domingo que faltó
La chiquilina del lugar.
Llegar
A nuestro hermano grande Belvedere
La misma brisa impulsa el Cerro fiel
Villa Española y Peñarol
Aguada hermosa que acunó.
En su pecho el soñar
De aquel que ha de mirar
No esperaba ser tan bienvenido.
Y a Maroñas triunfar
Con la Aguada en total
Nuestros lazos ya están definidos.
Borro, Píria y La Unión
Aires Puros, Colón
Piedras Blancas sentirá el latido.
Por ser
Lalalalalalalaila
En Carrasco será
Tal vez Nuevo París
Uniremos el canto adquirido.
Goes, Brazo Oriental
Capurrense feliz
Llegaremos al Sayago amigo.
Por ser. ¡Del Carnaval!
The Canario Luna song, Saludo a los Barrios, is an uplifting and unifying tribute to the diverse neighborhoods of Montevideo, Uruguay. The song functions as an acknowledgment of the many different communities that make up the city, each with its own unique history, culture, and character. Throughout the song, the singer references specific neighborhoods such as Malvin, Barrio Sur, and Jacinto Vera, as well as more general areas like Cordón and Punta Carretas. The lyric "Jacinto Vera es nuestra voz" refers to the famous Uruguayan composer and musician who was known for his work in the candombe genre, a style of music that originated in Afro-Uruguayan communities.
The song highlights the importance of music as a unifying force in the city, noting that the different neighborhoods will come together to join in song. The chorus repeats the refrain "Por ser del Carnaval," emphasizing the idea of shared celebration and revelry that is central to Uruguayan culture. The song's imagery evokes the natural beauty of the city, with references to "verdes prados" (green fields) and the "brisa" (breeze) that blows through the hills.
