González retired in the late 1980s, but started a second career in 1996 when the solo album Introducing...Rubén González was published. The next year, U.S.-musician Ry Cooder produced Buena Vista Social Club, featuring González, Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo, Elíades Ochoa and some other Cuban musicians. Wim Wenders produced a biographical movie under the same name, and González and his colleagues became famous all over the world.
Central Constancia
Rubén González Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bailar esta con usted
Desde aquí lo había observado
Baila usted muy bien, muy bien
Haremos una pareja
Muy difícil de igualar
Y envidioso todo el mundo
Se podrá vernos bailar
Pero olvidemos al vulgo
Que al fin no tiene importancia
Bailemos en el Constancia
Hasta que se acabe el mundo
In Rubén González's song Central Constancia, the singer asks permission to dance with the lady he has been watching from afar. He compliments her dancing skills and with a sense of confidence, states that together they will make a pair that will be very difficult to match. Their dancing will be so impressive that even the envious people around them will be watching them in awe. However, the singer urges the lady to forget about the people around them as they are irrelevant, and invites her to dance in Central Constancia until the world ends.
The lyrics of this song may seem light and playful, but they actually touch upon deeper themes such as the joy of living in the moment and the power of dance to bring people together. The singer encourages the lady to forget about the opinions of others and just enjoy the dancing. The idea of dancing until the world ends is a symbol of the fleeting nature of life, yet it is also a call to embrace the present moment fully.
