Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con las perlitas, polca bonita, su alma puede alegrar
Si quiere uste gozar, la polca ha de bailar
Con las perlitas, polca bonita, su alma puede alegrar
Si quiere uste gozar, la polca ha de bailar
Con las perlitas, polca bonita, su alma puede alegrar
The Mariachi Mexico's song "Las Pelotas" is a catchy upbeat tune that suggests that if you want to enjoy life, you need to dance the polka. The lyrics are simple but powerful, essentially saying that if you dance the polka, it can bring happiness to your soul. The song also suggests that the polka can be a beautiful dance if performed to the right music. The polka is known to be an energetic dance that originated in central Europe, but the Mariachi version adds a Mexican flare to the genre.
The song's meaning is clear, but the lyrics are also interesting because they are repetitive yet fun. The tune is inviting and encourages people to dance and let loose. Interestingly, the song title "Las Pelotas" does not have any relevance to the song's meaning. "Las Pelotas" simply translates to "the balls," but this has nothing to do with the song. It is possible that the title was chosen to lure people into listening to the song, or it may have just been a random title that the band liked.
