I

Ay me invitaron para el once
Yo con mucho gusto vengo
Me invitaron para el once
Yo con mucho gusto vengo

Ay Emiliano lo trajeron
Pa la fiesta de San Roque
Ay Emiliano lo trajeron
Pa la fiesta de San Roque

II

Llegando la tardecita
Y empezando la parranda
Llegando la tardecita
Y empezando la parranda

Llego una mujer bonita
Que la llamaban Yolanda
Ay llego una mujer bonita
Que la llamaban Yolanda

III

Yo estaba desprevenido
Para empezar la parranda
Yo estaba desprevenido
Para empezar la parranda

Ay Emiliano se ha venido
Con ganas de ver ha Yolanda
Ay Emiliano se ha venido
Con ganas de ver ha Yolanda

IV

Ya muy tarde de la noche
Me llegaron a decir
Ya muy tarde de la noche
Me vinieron a decir

Ay Yolanda no esta en San Roque
Se fue pa Curumani




Ay Yolanda no esta en San Roque
Se fue pa Curumani

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Yolanda" by Churo Diaz tell a story about a gathering or a party that was held for the feast of San Roque, where the singer was invited to attend along with Emiliano. As the party started in the evening, a beautiful woman named Yolanda arrives, and Emiliano seems to be interested in her. However, later in the night, the singer was told that Yolanda had already left for Curumani, and the possibility of meeting her again seems highly unlikely.


The song seems to be a commentary on how fleeting and unpredictable life can be, and how opportunities and moments can easily pass us by. The singer emphasizes his willingness to participate in the festivities and meet new people, but ultimately, the outcome is not what he had hoped for. The use of repetition throughout the song reinforces the message of opportunity and how it can come and go quickly.
