The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa mi pa ti
Y arriba y arriba
Ay arriba y arriba
Por ti sere, por ti sere, por ti sere
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan
Soy capitan, soy capitan
Bamba, bamba

The lyrics of "La Bamba" are a simple call to dance, inviting everyone to join in and move to the rhythm of this traditional Mexican song. The chorus repeats the same lines twice, emphasizing the importance of having a little bit of grace to dance "la bamba." The line "Por ti sere" ("For you I'll be") suggests that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to please the person they are dancing with, adding a romantic touch to the song.
In the verses, the singer declares that they are not a sailor but a captain, perhaps implying that they are in control of the dance and leading their partner. The repetition of the word "bamba" and its variations creates a catchy melody that is easy to sing along to and has become a hallmark of this song.

Out of all the colors...
Out of all the colors I just like green
because hope
because hope never gets lost
well arriba y arriba!
ay arriba, y arriba, y arriba I'll go!
I don't believe in borders
I don't belive in borders, I will cross
I will cross, I will cross~~ (I don't know if it's a universal thing, but from where I'm from green is associated with hope, so it makes sense)
It's a bit of a direct translation and interpretation so it would make sense...
hope it helps <3
