Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para llegar a tu hogar cuatro países he de atravesar
Para llegar a tu casa, y rodear una charca con ranas
Para llegar a tu hogar siempre tengo que madrugar
Oa, oa, oa, oh oh oh oh oh,
Uoh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh oh
Oa, oa, oa, oh oh oh oh oh
Uoh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh oh
Con una buena paella, que has cocinado sin camiseta
Con huevos, pan y jamón, que has preparado de corazón
Con un caldo de verduras y, para el postre, unas frutas maduras
Oa, oa, oa, oh oh oh oh oh,
Uoh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh oh
Oa, oa, oa, oh oh oh oh oh
Uoh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh oh
Oa, oa, oa, oh oh oh oh oh,
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Oa, oa, oa, oh oh oh oh oh,
Uoh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh oh
Uoh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Uoh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The song "Manolo" by Lorena Álvarez y su Banda Municipal tells the story of a lover going through great lengths to reach their significant other's house. The lyrics mention climbing mountains and crossing countries just to be with their loved one. The chorus states that it's all worth it since their loved one is waiting for them at the table with a home-cooked meal. The imagery of the lover climbing mountains and crossing countries represents the effort that someone would make for love. The reference to the paella that the significant other has cooked without a shirt on adds a sensual element to the song.
The repeated "Oa, oa, oa, oh oh oh oh oh, Uoh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh oh" in the chorus adds an upbeat and playful tone to the song. The use of the repetition of "oh" conveys excitement and joy for finally being able to be with their loved one. The song's structure is simple, with the verse and chorus alternating, making it a catchy and easy-to-remember tune.
Overall, "Manolo" is a charming and whimsical love song that speaks to the lengths someone would go for love. The sweet and playful lyrics are accompanied by a catchy melody that makes it a fun and memorable tune.
