Palo Palo
Maracaibo 15 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Palo palo palo, palo noche y dia
estas acabando con la vida mia(x2)
Que vida fecunda la que estoy llevando
bastante mujeres y siempre tomando(x2)
Un palito aqui, otro mas alla,
bastante mujeres para celebrar
Rumba que rumba, rumba que rumba
Palo que palo, palo que palo
Que barbaridad (a beberrrrr)(x2)
1era Estrofa
Nectar prodigioso sacan de la ca
ña
y con ese liquido dan vuelo a su maña
no se les puede quitar lo que les pertence
su palo y su rumba es lo que les mantiene
2da Estrofa
Saltan y se mueven al son del tambor
con la energia que los hace sudar
no importa el cansancio ni el agotamiento
siguen bailando y disfrutando el momento
Maracaibo 15's "Palo Palo" is a popular Venezuelan folkloric song that celebrates the vibrant rhythm and dance of the regional music style known as gaita. The song is a tribute to the joyous festivities and cultural traditions that prevail in the city of Maracaibo, where the band originated.
The song's title "Palo Palo" refers to the rhythmic beat produced by the drums that accompany the gaita music style. The lyrics describe a lively party scene where people are enjoying themselves with plenty of drinks and women. The song praises the vitality and energy of the gaita dance, which is fueled by the nectar produced from sugar cane.
In the coro, the repetition of the line "Palo que palo, palo que palo" is a chant that encourages the dancers to keep up the energetic pace of the gaita. The song acknowledges the cultural significance of the gaita as an essential part of the identity of the people of Maracaibo, and it celebrates the community's passion for music and dance.
