El Guaguanco No. 3
Salsa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de arroyo polo, este timbiri que yo forme al inspirarme,
es muy bonito porque es un tinito nene,
es muy bonito porque es un tinito nene,
mi guaguanco numero tres,
(para que goze como es, mi guaguanco numero tres)
santa amalia lo esperaba como lo esperaba buey
(para que goze como es, mi guaguanco numero tres)
(santa amalia fue a arroyo polo)
(santa amalia fue a arroyo polo)
(santa amalia fue a arroyo polo)
The song El Guaguanco No. 3 by Salsa talks about a man or a group of men travelling to a place called Arroyo Polo, where they are awaited by a woman named Santa Amalia, who dotes on them like a mother does with her child (described as "buey"). The singer mentions that he was inspired to create a dance move called "Timbiri," which is very beautiful because it is a light and fluid movement. The song repeats the phrase "mi guaguanco numero tres" (my guaguanco number three) several times, encouraging the audience to dance and enjoy the number.
The lyrics are narrated in a way that creates a sense of joy and celebration, highlighting the power of the guaguanco rhythm in uniting people in dance. It also illustrates how a sense of community is created through dance, with Santa Amalia waiting for the men to arrive and dote on them with love and attention. Overall, the song is a tribute to the power of dance and how it can be used to bring people together in joy and celebration.
