About name
La Mano Negra ("The Black Hand") was a supposed anarchist organization in Andalucía, Spain, accused of many terrorist acts. Although, in latter studies, its existence was found unlikely and was probably an excuse used by the government under Sagasta to oppress anarchist activity in southern Spain.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Echele, Echele Patchuko Hop
Echele because i wanna rock
Actually live down in San Antonio
Looking for Jose Cuervo
Que suerte, que suerte oir hablarte
Echele, Echele a la noche
Echele, Echele Patchuko Hop
Echele because i wanna rock
Cuando me acuesto contigo
Encuentro el mundo vacio
Yo te quiero mucho, mucho
Te quiero con mi corazon
Echele, Echele a la noche
Echele, Echele Patchuko Hop
Echele because i wanna rock
Cuando me acuesto contigo
You make me feel so hot!!
