Parchis was neither a boy or girl band, initially having four members, two from each gender. Eventually, the band expanded to have six members at the same time. Gemma Prat, Oscar Ferrer Cañadas, Constantino Fernández Fernández better known as Tino (singer) and Yolanda Ventura Roman (daughter of the well known trompetist, Rudy Ventura) were the first four kids to be chosen as members of Parchis.
Parchis' first single, "En La Armada", was a Spanish version of the Village People's disco hit, "In the Navy". "En La Armada" became a major hit in Spain, giving way for a number of important music composers to start working with Parchis. "En La Armada" was followed by what was arguably the group's biggest hit, "Durante la Espera de Parchis" ("During Parchis' Wait"). This song became a number one hit in Argentina. Later on, the group also became successful in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and other Latin American countries.
Personal problems forced Oscar Ferrer Caňadas out of the band in 1981. He was substituted by Francisco Díaz Terez, known by fans simply as "Frank". Brothers Miguel Ángel (born in Germany) and Jesús Gómez Cambronero soon joined the band, which by then had six members at the same time.
Losing Oscar Ferrer Cañadas proved lethal to the group, however. With Menudo reaching unprecedented (for a Hispanic children's music group) success levels in Latin America as well as in Spain, and other Latin American groups like Los Chamos and Los Chicos also providing Parchis with competition, and with Ferrer Cañadas' cosiderable amount of fans gone, Parchis began to wane.
In Spain and Argentina in particular, however, the group remained popular enough to release a 1983 movie, "Parchis Entra en Acción" ("Parchis Gets Into Action"), alongside Alberto Fernández de Rosa.
In 1985, Parchis broke up. The group had recorded a number of albums that were successful in Spain and Latin America. More than a decade later, the group would reunite for one television show engagement.
Buenos Días Arco Iris
Parchis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Siempre fuiste la esperanza,
De que cante la borrasca,
Viene el sol.
Ojala buen arco iris,
Aparezcas de repente,
Al llenar lo que se siente,
El corazón.
Quisiera ser,
Una nube blanca,
Y poder viajar,
Un bote al mar,
Jugar a cazar
Con las estrella
Y con el tiempo,
Bailar un vals.
Buenos dias arco iris,
Siempre fuiste la
Esperanza de cante,
La borrasca viene,
El sol.
Ojala buen arco iris,
Aparezcas de repente,
Al llenar lo que se,
Siente el corazón.
Tener la voz,
Fuerte como el trueno,
Y tener de rayo la
Claridad,
Pintar un arco,
Escrito en el
Cielo y saludarte,
Con mi cantar.
Buenos dias arco iris,
Siempre fuiste la,
Esperanza, de que,
Cante la borrasca,
Viene el sol.
Ojala buen arco iris,
Aparezcas de repente,
Al llenar lo que se,
Siente el corazón.
Quisiera ser,
Una nube blanca,
Emparejada a una,
Nube gris chocar,
Con ella y formar
La lluvia o estar
Jugando con mi nariz
Buenos dias arco iris,
Siempre fuiste la
Esperanza de que,
Cante la borrasca,
Viene el sol.
Ojala buen arco iris,
Aparezcas de repente,
Al llenar lo que se siente,
El corazón.
Al llenar lo que se siente el corazón.
The song "Buenos Días, Arco Iris" by Parchis expresses hope and optimism in the face of difficult times. The rainbow, a symbol of hope, is referenced throughout the song as a source of comfort and inspiration. The lyrics express a desire to escape real life and travel to magical places where one can play with stars, dance a waltz with time and be free to imagine, explore and create.
The song also highlights the power of music and art to change how one feels. The singer wishes to have a voice as strong as thunder, clear as lightning, and to paint an arc in the sky with their singing. The song acknowledges the cyclical nature of life, that storms will come, but then the sun will inevitably return, and the rainbow will appear.
Overall, the message of the song is to hold on to hope, to keep imagining and creating, to let music and art fill our hearts with joy and to remember that after every storm there will be sunshine and a rainbow to light the way.
