They provided the vocals and rhythm section of the band. Tenor and alto sax, two trumpets, and timbales rounded out the group. Having been together for some time, it wasn’t until George Goldner of Cotique signed them and dubbed them the Lebron Brothers. Although Goldner was credited with producing their work under the auspices of Jerry Masucci, Johnny Colón has stated in recent interviews that it was actually he who supervised the recordings. This seems quite plausible as the feel of Salsa Y Control has a lot of the same characteristics of Colón’s Boogaloo Blues. The harmonies are street tough and a drag-sway feeling permeates the production. This is what makes this genre distinct.

Un Vestido Bonito
Lebrón Brothers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

El día que yo me muera
Yo no quiero que estés triste
Yo quiero que tú te pongas un vestido bonito
Yo no quiero que tú llores
Yo quiero que estés contenta
Y que todo el día luzcas un vestido bonito
Un vestido bonito (un vestido bonito)
Un vestido bonito (un vestido bonito)

De esos bien ceñiditos (un vestido bonito)
Que te quede apretadito (un vestido bonito)
Hay mi gente no me entierren
Yo prefiero que me cremen y que tiren mis cenizas a la tracto por favor
El río se evaporiza, después se vuelve aguacero, el agua a la licorera y al instante ya soy Ron
Y quiero que tú te pongas (un vestido bonito)
De esos bien cortito y bonitos (un vestido bonito)
Ese que muestra tú estilo (un vestido bonito)
Ponte el que causa mucho ruido (un vestido bonito)
Cuando tu sale a la calle tu eres la que vas (un vestido bonito)
Con tú belleza y tu manera de vestir (un vestido bonito)
Mi nena linda, mi nena bonita (un vestido bonito)
Con tú vestido, con tu vestido bonito (un vestido bonito)
Aquél que siempre te pido (un vestido bonito)
El que me da escalofrío (un vestido bonito)
El que me vuelve loco cuando te miro
Cuando te miro digo hay Dios bendito (un vestido bonito)
El vestido, que me saca un suspiro (un vestido bonito)
El que me gusta, aquél azulito (un vestido bonito)
Cuando tú bailas se sube el vestido, hay que bonito (un vestido bonito)
Pontelo otra vez, pontelo otra vez, pontelo otra vez (que, que, que, queee) (un vestido bonito)
Ve y pontelo nena (un vestido bonito)
Ese que yo te pido (un vestido bonito)
Y que para quitártelo se me haga facilitó
(Un vestido bonito)
Y busca una modista que te sepa coser y busca una modista que te sepa coser
Guoo oooh oooh
Aquí no lo ande
Guoo oooh oooh
Pa' ve'la con el
Guoo oooh oooh
Aquí no lo ande
Guoo oooh oooh
Pa' ve'la con el
Bonito, bonito, bonito tu vestidito (un vestido bonito)
Pa' que se te note ese cuerpito (un vestido bonito)
Que te quede apretaito (un vestido bonito)
De esos que me vuelven loco, loco, loquero, loco, loquito (un vestido bonito)
Es que te queda lindo el trajesito (un vestido bonito)
Pero que sea bonito y te quede bien cortico (un vestido bonito)
Bonito, bonito, bonito tu vestidito (un vestido bonito)
De esos que vuelven loco a este negrito (un vestido bonito)
Y busca una modista que te sepa coser y busca una modista que te sepa coser
Guoo oooh oooh
Aquí no lo ande
Guoo oooh oooh
Pa' ve'la con el
Guoo oooh oooh
Aquí no lo ande
Guoo oooh oooh

Pa' ve'la con el
Y busca una modista que te sepa coser y busca una modista que te sepa coser.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lebrón Brothers' song "Un Vestido Bonito" convey a playful and lighthearted attitude towards mortality. The singer expresses their desire for their loved ones to celebrate their life rather than mourn their death. They suggest that on the day they pass away, they want their loved ones to wear a beautiful dress, to be happy, and to embrace life. The repeated phrase "un vestido bonito" emphasizes the importance of appearance and style in celebrating life's moments.

The lyrics also touch on the idea of transformation and rebirth. The singer imagines their body being cremated and their ashes being scattered, depicting the cycle of life and death. They suggest that their essence will transform into rain, then into the liquor that will become rum, illustrating a metaphorical continuation of life and celebration. The mention of a dress is used as a symbol of beauty and joy, reinforcing the idea of embracing life's pleasures and enjoying one's appearance.
