La Mona Jiménez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que levante su voz al cielo
Le meta mucha pimienta
Pa' que baile el pueblo entero
El quiera cantar cuarteto
Cante libre y sin vergüenza
No deje de lado el ritmo
Que cante el borracho, su noche de alcohol
El enamorado, su tiempo de amor
Que cante el obrero, su sal en sudor
Que cante la niña, su sonrisa en flor
El que quiera cantar cuarteto
Que canta como lo siente
Y su corazón contento
Se lo de a toda la gente
Es la voz del pueblo y
Que siempre crece
El que quiera cantar cuarteto
Que no pare hasta que amanezca
La semilla de la vida
Sea una flor que siempre crezca
Que cante el borracho, su noche de alcohol
El enamorado, su tiempo de amor
Que cante el obrero, su sal en sudor
Que cante la niña, su sonrisa en flor
La song "Fiesta de Cuarteto" is a high-energy anthem encouraging people to embrace and celebrate the cuarteto genre, a type of music that originated in Argentina's Cordoba province. The lyrics encourage anyone who wants to sing cuarteto to find their voice and sing out loud, with plenty of enthusiasm ("Le meta mucha pimienta"). As the song says, "Let the drunk man sing about his night of alcohol, the lover about his time of love, the worker about his sweat and salt, the little girl about her blooming smile." Everyone is invited to join in the celebration, regardless of their background or social status.
The song also describes cuarteto as the voice of the people, something that continues to grow and develop as people continue to embrace it. The genre has a long history and has gone through many changes over the years, but it remains an important part of Argentina's musical culture. The song encourages people to keep singing and dancing to cuarteto music all night long, and to embrace it as a symbol of their community and their identity.
