Agarro mi cuatrico compay y me voy a gozar nada mas(bis).
Son para gozarlas estas navidades (bis),
Porque el año que viene se acaban los pesares (bis).
El lucero esta radiante ya viene el amanecer (bis)
Agarro mi cuatrito y mi ron pasteles me voy a comer (bis)
Son para gozarlas estas navidades (bis),
Cuando sean las 12 de la noche y el ano barbudo se va (bis)
Agarro mi cuatrico y mi ron y me voy a abrazar a mama (bis)
Son para gozarlas estas navidades (bis),
Porque el año que viene se acaban los pesares (bis).
Ya yo me despido compay de esta navidad (bis)
El año que viene caramba volveré a cantar y a gozar (bis)
Son para gozarlas estas navidades (bis),

The lyrics to La Súper Banda's song "Parranda de Navidad" speak of the joy and revelry that comes with the Christmas season. The singer describes going out to party with a bottle of rum and his cuatrico, a four-stringed guitar-like instrument used in a traditional Puerto Rican genre of music called jíbaro. He emphasizes that these festivities are to be enjoyed because the following year will bring its own troubles and worries.
As the night progresses and the dawn approaches, the singer enjoys pasteles, a traditional Puerto Rican holiday dish. At midnight, he embraces his mother and continues to revel in the holiday spirit. In the final verse, the singer bids farewell to his comrade, promising to return next year to continue singing and celebrating.
The lyrics demonstrate the significance of community and family during the holidays, as well as a recognition of the fleeting nature of joy and the importance of cherishing it in the moment.
