El chocolate
Héctor Pavez Lyrics

The song "El Chocolate" by Héctor Pavez is a cheerful and lively tune that talks about the enjoyment and love for chocolate. The chorus of the song, "Chocolate me has pedido, chocolate me ha de dar, a lo lele tomaremos chocolate," translates to "Chocolate you have asked of me, chocolate I will give you, we will drink chocolate together." The lyrics describe how chocolate is not just a drink, but it's a way of life, enjoyed at different times of the day, such as in the morning or afternoon.

The song continues with the lines "Viva el mate, el chocolate, va batiendo y así caliente lo irá bebiendo, que lo toma agua de Roma," which emphasizes on the love for mate, a traditional South American drink, and chocolate. The reference to "agua de Roma" (water from Rome," which means plain water, indicates that the singer does not like drinking plain water, but rather prefers drinking mate and chocolate.

The last verses of the song have a different tone and talk about war and bullfighting: "Ya Manuela, que no huela, que ni sabi, voy con ella, corre España en la guerra, voy con ella." It talks about going to war with Manuela, who does not smell or taste, but with whom the singer will stand by. The mention of bullfighting with lines like "Que te embiste el toro bravo" adds a traditional South American element to the song.

Overall, "El Chocolate" by Héctor Pavez is a cheerful and lively tune that celebrates the love for chocolate and traditional South American drinks like mate, while also referencing war and bullfighting.
