A La Nanita Nana
Maya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
El orangután y la orangutana
Estaba el orangután meciéndose en una rama
Estaba el orangután meciéndose en una rama
Y paso la orangutana comiéndose una banana.
El orangután y la orangutana
La negrita cucurumbe
Se fue a bañar al mar
Para ver si las blancas olas
Su carita podía blanquear.
La negrita cucurumbe
A la playa se acerco
Envidiando a las conchitas
Por su pálido color.
Quería ser blanca como la luna
Como la espuma que tiene el mar
Un pescado cocolibin se le acerco
Y moviendo la colita le pregunto.
Pero válgame, señor
Es que no ve
Si negra esta bonita, negrita cucurumbe
Negrita cucurumbe, negrita cucurumbe
Negrita cucurumbe.
Con la India Maya Caballero
Yo te daré, te daré niña hermosa
Te daré una cosa, una cosa que yo solo se, café
El camaleón mama, el camaleón
Cambia de colores según la ocasión
Tu corazón nena, tu corazón
Cambia de colores como el camaleón.
Si no me dan de chupar, lloro
Si no me dan de chupar, ay lloro
Si no me dan de chupar, lloro
Si no me dan de chupar.
Si no me dan de chupar, lloro
Si no me dan de chupar, ay lloro
Si no me dan de chupar, lloro
Si no me dan de chupar.

Mata el alacrán abuelita
Mátalo con una escopeta
Y si no revienta en cartucho
Mátalo con una chancleta.

A nana pancha le gusta la parranda
Le gusta la guaracha, el mambo y el danzón
A nana pancha le gusta la parranda

Nana pancha, pancha
A nana pancha le gusta el vacilón.
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Mariguana que fumar.
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Mariguana que fumar.
Una vieja y un viejito
Se fueron dentro un pozo
Y la vieja le decía
Ay que viejo tan mañoso.
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Mariguana que fumar.

El sabor de la India Maya Caballero
Al principio me gustabas por tu linda cabellera
Pero no pensé que fueras una chica tan coqueta
En la fiesta de Enriqueta te elegí mientras bailabas
Mire que coqueteabas con los chavos de la orquesta.
Me dijeron que te vieron salir con Pedro Sicap
Y también con los cantantes del conjunto de los cocos
Todo el mundo te miraba que besabas a José
Y después Checha Gálvez te ofrece matrimonio.
Como quieres que yo a ti te quiera
Si eres una chica musiquera
Como quieres que yo a ti te quiera
Si eres una chica musiquera
Levantar este teléfono
Lo tengo que contestar
Despierta a la media noche
Y todo empieza a sonar
Cuando escucho el ring, ring
Yo me quisiera matar
Telefonito no suenes mas
Telefonito no suenes más.
Aló, habla Dora
Habladora su abuela
Telefonito no suenes mas
Telefonito no suenes más
Aló, dígame
Meeeeeeeeeeee
Telefonito no suenes mas
Telefonito no suenes más
Aló, disculpe esta Marco
Ay no yo soy la Dulce Rosario
Telefonito no suenes mas
Telefonito no suenes más.
Seco torcido y salado
El camarón sancochado, sale camarón
El borracho en las cantinas
Sale el borracho.
El valiente con las mujeres
Sale el valiente
La rana mujer del sapo
Sale la rana
Rosa, rosita rosada
Sale la rosa
Lotería, lotería con la rosa
Rosa, la mujer del sapo
El valiente, fue buena y se la ha llevado
Well, I talk about it, talk about it
Talk about it, talk about it
Talk about, talk about
Talk about movin'
Gotta move on
Gotta move on
Gotta move on
Won't you take me to
Funkytown?
Won't you take me to
Funkytown?
Won't you take me to
Funkytown?
Won't you take me to
Funkytown?
Won't you take me to
Funkytown?
Won't you take me to
Funkytown?
Won't you take me to
Funkytown?
The lyrics to Maya's song "A La Nanita Nana" are a mixture of various nursery rhymes, traditional folk songs, and popular songs. The song starts with a repetitive chant about an orangutan and an orangutan swinging on a branch while an orangutan eating a banana passes by. This section sets a playful and lighthearted tone for the song.
The next section introduces the character of "Negrita cucurumbe," a young girl who goes to the sea to bathe in hopes of having her dark skin turn white like the foam on the waves. However, she is approached by a talking fish who questions her desire to change her appearance, suggesting that she is beautiful just the way she is.
The song then transitions into a series of nonsensical verses and chants, featuring various characters like a chameleon, a scorpion, a grandmother killing the scorpion, a woman named Nana Pancha who loves to party, and even references to popular songs like "La Cucaracha" and "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)." These sections add a playful and whimsical element to the song.
