Allegro
José-Luis Garcia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay como suena el raudal,
ay como se oye el rumor,
y dando aplauso a su Albor,
se compite, en lo leal:
pues quando venze al horror,
pues cuando rompe el zendal,
predice con su candor, la delicia Celestial.




Overall Meaning

In José-Luis Garcia's song "Allegro," the lyrics evoke a sense of richness and beauty in the flowing river. The language used is vibrant and descriptive, creating a vivid image of the river's sound and movement. The repetition of the phrase "ay como suena" emphasizes the intensity of the river's sound, as if it's resonating with joy and energy.


The lyrics also suggest a level of competition, but one that is rooted in fairness and loyalty. The line "se compite, en lo leal" highlights a friendly rivalry where individuals strive to surpass their own limits. This can be seen as a metaphor for personal growth and overcoming challenges.


Furthermore, the lyrics introduce the concept of breaking boundaries and achieving something extraordinary, symbolized by the river breaking through the "zendal" (a delicate fabric). This breaking of boundaries is not only seen as a triumph over fear and obstacles but also as a prediction of celestial delight. This suggests that when one surpasses their limits and breaks through barriers, they can experience a taste of heavenly bliss.

Lovely rendition! What album is this from? I'd like to buy it. But I can't find it anywhere online. (Do you know the barcode for this CD?)

Caden Bukvich

The tempo of this 'feels' right. Other renditions I've heard sound rushed IMO.

Sebastian Sancho

Me descargo. Esta sinfonía de Antonio Vivaldi. Cómo siempre. Sintonía de TVE-2.
