Antillas
El Guincho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Al compás y a aguantar el compás
Y sí lo aguantas tú me podrás compensar
Con tu danza sin par con tu vaivén de pies
Que cuando va a empezar
Marea a todo aquel
Que lo intenta imitar
El roto en el mar
Déjalo navegar yo sé
Que tienes luz no
Se puede apagar abrígame
En tu sol con la cara hacia
Atrás pon la cara hacia atrás y tú
Tú eres mi luz y yo te cantaré
Todo lo que, todo lo que, todo lo que sé
Sí tú eres mi luz yo te cantaré
Todo lo que, todo lo que, todo lo que sé
The lyrics of El Guincho's song Antillas speak of the joy of dancing and the emotional connection that can be made through movement. The song begins with the lines "a bailar venimos" which means "we come to dance," and continues to describe the importance of staying in time with the music and being able to follow the rhythm without losing it. The singer of the song asks their dance partner to compensate for any missteps with their own unique style, which is described as having an unmatched grace and fluidity.
The second half of the song shifts slightly in tone, with the line "que cuando va a empezar" implying a sense of anticipation or trepidation. The following verses warn against trying to imitate the dance moves of others, instead encouraging the listener to let themselves get lost in the music and find their own way. The final lines of the song express gratitude and admiration for the dance partner, implying a deeper emotional connection that has been forged through the act of dancing together.
The song's title, Antillas, is a reference to the Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean, and the lyrics reference the sea and the freedom of movement that comes from being on the water. El Guincho, whose real name is Pablo Diaz-Reixa, is a Spanish musician known for his unique blend of tropical and electronic music, and the upbeat rhythms and infectious energy of Antillas reflect his distinctive style.
