Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
florecen las cepas, del palo e' majagua
Sabroso, cuando llueve en mi pueblo,
cuando llueve en mi pueblo,
cuando llueve en mi pueblo,
ay cuando llueve en mi pueblo
Y el silbio del viento, que empieza a cantar
Sabroso, cuando llueve en mi pueblo,
cuando llueve en mi pueblo,
cuando llueve en mi pueblo,
ay cuando llueve en mi pueblo
La tempestad y la brisa comienzan su son
A bailá en la rama, del matarratón
Sabroso, cuando llueve en mi pueblo,
cuando llueve en mi pueblo,
cuando llueve en mi pueblo,
ay cuando llueve en mi pueblo
The song "Bajo el Chorro de Agua" by Gaiteros de Pueblo Santo captures a vivid and sensory experience associated with rain in a rural setting. At the outset, the lyrics portray a scene where a young boy (denoted as "pelao mojao'") is joyfully playing under a water spout ("chorro de agua"). This simple image evokes nostalgia and innocence, suggesting the universality of childhood delight during a rain shower. The mention of "florecen las cepas, del palo e' majagua" adds depth; it refers to the flourishing of the majagua tree, which stands as a symbol of nature’s vitality and how rain rejuvenates the environment. The imagery of a young boy, lush vegetation, and the anthropomorphism of nature infuse the lyrics with a celebration of life and community.
As the song continues, the repetition of "Sabroso, cuando llueve en mi pueblo" emphasizes the joy and richness of this natural phenomenon in the singer's community. The essence of the lyrics can be viewed as a collective memory—rain is not just a weather condition but a cultural event that connects the people, the land, and the spirit of the town. The celebratory tone in referring to the experience of rain reflects a deep appreciation for the environment and its rhythms, indicating that these showers bring with them not just water but a sense of connection and joy within the community. The recurring phrase serves as a rallying cry, urging listeners to join in this communal appreciation.
Furthermore, the song intertwines sensory details that enhance the imagery of the rain. When the lyrics mention "Siente el olor a lluvia, a tierra mojá," it conjures the rich, earthy scents that emerge after a rain shower, known as petrichor. This connection between smell and emotion plays a significant role in how people experience the landscape. The "silbio del viento, que empieza a cantar" introduces sound, painting a comprehensive picture filled with auditory as well as olfactory sensations. Together, these elements illustrate a harmonious relationship between the populace and their environment, suggesting that the rain creates an atmosphere that encourages reflection and connection.
The final lines reference the nature of storms, with "La tempestad y la brisa comienzan su son." Here, the metaphor extends to the interplay between wind and rain, which is characterized as a dance. The imagery of "bailá en la rama, del matarratón" highlights how the elements interact in nature, enhancing the festive feeling associated with the rain. Overall, "Bajo el Chorro de Agua" serves as a tribute to the beauty and importance of rain in the lives of the people in this village, portraying it as a transformative and celebratory event that brings life, joy, and a profound sense of belonging. It captures the essence of communal experience, the bounty of nature, and the delightful nostalgia tied to rain-soaked memories.
