One of MC Solaar's first claims to fame was the rap he did on a level one French language education tape: "Comment t'appelles-tu?".
MC Solaar's first single, Bouge de là, was a French hit in 1990 that went platinum, as was his first album, Qui Sème le Vent Récolte le Tempo. His second album, Prose Combat, may be his most acclaimed.
As a rapper MC Solaar is known for the complexity and poetry of his songs, which rely on wordplay, lyricism, and philosophical inquiry. The music is based on dance rhythms and sensual grooves. In the English-speaking world, Solaar was signed by London acid jazz label Talkin' Loud and invited to record with British group Urban Species and Guru, a member of the famous and highly-acclaimed New York group Gang Starr.
MC Solaar gained new fans in North America in early 2004, when his 2001 song La Belle Et Le Bad Boy was featured on the final episode of the popular television series Sex and the City. MC Solaar remains best-known outside of France for his work on Guru's Jazzmatazz project and as a guest rapper on the Missy Elliott track All N My Grill. Out of Guru and Solaar's collaboration, the single Le Bien, Le Mal (The Good, The Bad) was a popular Hip Hop/Dance crossover hit receiving playtime on MTV.
Hasta la vista
MC Solaar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rapero número uno el grito en la cancción
Soy el papel del líder como Fidel Castro
Tengo el microfóno amigo cuidado
Solaar, soy al mismo tiempo ser why estar
Estrella : la gente de Indía me llama star
Paz al rap de Barcelona. De Costa Rica.
Alianza tercer mundo Suramerica
Tengo la voz, la fuerza, estiló why papel.
Si te gusta vas a bailar como Ibiza.
Soy como el sol. Hijo de Africa
Eso es amor sin dolor
Hasta la próxima mi amor
Eso es amor sin dolor
Hasta la vista mi amor
J'étais livreur de pizzas près de l'hacienda
Où la chica do nom d'Esmeralda faisait la fiesta
Comme par hasard elle me commande un pan-chorizo
J'ai compris le complot cuando la fille me dit te quierro
Amigo, dans le barrio on se pavanait sec.
Sex six jours sur septembre Tequila, pas de prise de tête
Mais ça n'a pas plu à certains pistoleros
Bagarreurs tel Valera de vraies têtes de vils héros
Expulsé de la ville tel un sans pap
Seul sans barillet, isolé tel un catho sans pape
Quand je pense à toi Rachel Esmeralda
J'en ai la gorge serrée mais bon j'ai des valda
Eso es amor sin dolor
Hasta la próxima mi amor
Eso es amor sin dolor
Hasta la vista mi amor
On est en Californie, bien avant be -Watch
J'marche solo tel un orphelin dans la poche de Bihac
Why a des noichs Kwan Chang Ken et des gringos
Dégringolent why a des panchos sous les sombreros
À contre-jour Esmeralda déesse
Les yeux pleins de liesse sort do Poney Express
Elle me dit vamonos, je réponds yes
See'était Bonnie et Claude dans notre Dame de Barbès
Hasta la vista, générique final
Hasta la próxima, on part vers l'ouest à cheval
Tout le monde se lève il n'why a plus personne dans le ciné
Le film est terminé mais j'entends chanter
Eso es amor sin dolor
Hasta la próxima mi amor
Eso es amor sin dolor
Hasta la vista mi amor
The lyrics to MC Solaar's song "Hasta la vista" express a variety of themes, including political revolution, love, and cultural diversity. The opening lines, "Hasta siempre. Que vive la Revolución. Rapero número uno el grito en la canción" (Until forever. Long live the Revolution. Rapper number one with the shout in the song), allude to the Cuban Revolution and assert the songwriter's status as a voice for social change through music. The lyrics also reference Fidel Castro and his leadership role, with MC Solaar likening himself to Castro as a "leader" in the world of rap.
The song continues with references to the artist's global reach and popularity, with a nod to his fans in India and his collaborations with artists from Central and South America. The lyrics turn to a more personal tone with MC Solaar reminiscing about a woman named Rachel, expressing his strength and style as an artist, and referencing his African origins. The chorus is a declaration of love without pain, bidding farewell in both Spanish and French.
The lyrics also feature a narrative involving a woman named Esmeralda, who orders pizza from the rapper when he worked as a delivery driver. The two engage in a romantic tryst involving sex, tequila, and violence before the rapper is eventually expelled from the city. The story is reminiscent of classic Western films and adds a layer of complexity to the themes of love and cultural diversity expressed throughout the rest of the song.
