Mi Pueblo
Paul Anka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

El mismo día que me quede sin ti
Me fui de viaje para no sufrir
Y al llegar al pueblo en que nací
Tan solo al verlo me sentí feliz.

Toda la gente comenzó a bailar
Cuando al llegar yo comencé a cantar
Al mismo ritmo del sol al girar
Bailo la tierra, la luna y la mar

Ay que alegría (oh what a feeling)
La que sentía (my heart is singing)
Pues a mi pueblo (that happy faces)
Feliz veia (on the memories)

And so the music goes on and on
Into the night of till break of dawn
Y todo el pueblo en una sola voz
I hear the music everywhere

Que dice así ay aya ay ay aya aya ya ya ya ya
Ay ay ay ay ay aya ay ay aya ya ya

Ay que alegría (feliz reían)
La que sentían (oh what a feeling)
Pues a mi pueblo (todos contentos)
Feliz veía

And so the music keep goes on and on
Se acerca el año en mayo twenty-two
All through the night untill the break of dawn
La gente canta al verme esta canción

Que dice así ay aya ay ay aya aya ya ya ya ya




Ay ay ay ay ay aya ay ay aya ya ya

Ay que alegría (feliz reían)
La que sentían (oh what a feeling)
Pues a mi pueblo (todos contentos)
Feliz veía

Ayayayayyaa, oh what a feeling
Ayayayayyaa, oh what a feeling
Ayayayayyaa, oh what a feeling
Ayayayayyaa, lara la la la
Que viva mi pueblo y
El pueblo de todos

I took a little trip to my home town
I only stopped to just look around
And as I walked along the thorough-fare
There was music playing everywhere

The music came from within my heart
How did it happen how did it start
I only know that I fell in love
I guess the answer lies up above

Oh what a feeling
My heart was reeling
The bells were ringing
The birds were singing

And so the music keep goes on and on
And through the night until the break of dawn
I hear a birdie up in the tree
I hear him sings this melody

And so he sings
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Oh what a feeling
My heart was reeling
The bells were ringing
The birds were singing

And so the music keep goes on and on
And through the night until the break of dawn
And every evening when the sun goes down
I'm with my love in my home town

And so I sing
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ho-ho-ho-ho
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

I took a little trip - to my home town
I only stopped just to look around
And as I walked along the thorough-fare
There was music playing ev'rywhere

The music came from within my heart
How did it happen how did it start -
I only know that I fell in love
I guess the answer lies up above -

Oh what a feeling .....
My heart was reeling
The bells were ringing .....
The birds were singing

And so the music keep goes on and on
And through the night until the break of dawn
I hear a bird up in the tree -
He sings a pretty little melody

Oh what a feeling .....
My heart was reeling
The bells were ringing ....
The birds were singing

And so the music keep goes on and on
And through the night until the break of dawn
I hear a bird up in the tree -
He sings a pretty little melody
ya-ya-ya-ya......
