Nina
Huapacha Combo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Qué bello es el verano, la tierra despertó
De los frutos esta es la estación
De la primavera los capullos son.

Qué hermoso es el verano, el Yeti se durmió
Y todo se viste de color,
Los pajarillos cantan, Las faldas se levantan
Y las mariposas beben ron.

¡Por eso, niña, escucha mi canción para el verano
No seas idiota y vete a la playa
Tu cuerpo necesita vacilar, ven a nadar!
¡Por eso, niña, colócate una cinta en la cadera
Y quítate la pierna de madera
Ponte un bikini rosa y a ligar!...

Castañas y boniatos, el otoño vendrá
Con un muerto te has de flagelar
Y el arroz con leche te habrás de tomar

Qué lindo aquel verano del '42
En el frenopático tú y yo
Al lado del Pisuerga sentados en la hierba
Solos con el río y el amor

Vuelta al ESTRIBILLO

Overall Meaning

The song "Niña" by Huapacha Combo talks about the beauty of summer and how everything comes to life during this season. The first stanza exalts the summer season and the fruits that it brings. The second stanza talks about the colors and sounds of summer, how the Yeti sleeps during this season, and how the birds sing and the butterflies drink rum. These colorful descriptions lead to the chorus that invites someone, perhaps a young girl, to listen to the song about summer and go to the beach to swim and have fun. The singer tells her not to be silly and to let loose her body so she can enjoy her summer.

The third stanza describes the autumn with chestnuts and sweet potatoes, and how one should mourn for the dead and drink rice pudding. However, the fourth and final stanza takes on a more romantic tone, talking about a summer from 1942 when the singer and someone else were sitting by the Pisuerga river, enjoying each other's company and the beauty of the summer.

Overall, the song "Niña" celebrates the beauty of summer, its colors, and the joy it brings to people's lives. It invites us to go to the beach and let loose, to enjoy every moment of this wonderful season.
