One of Colombia's most talented salsa singers that emerge from the salsa circles of Cali. Yuri currently resides in France.

With “Vagabundo”, Colombian singer Yuri Buenaventura reveals himself as the “brightest new star from South America”. From the irresistibly swingy ‘Guajiro del Monte’, with its expansive and golden big-band dance sound to the pared-back and poignant ‘Donde Estas?’ – it’s always clear that we’re in completely assured hands. Interspersed are three unforgettably sensual songs written with Jorge Zulueta which brilliantly underpin a Latin theme with an erotic tango sound. And besides the innovative music, Buenaventura’s words mark him out: like Ruben Blades, he’s one of the few salsa singers to marry a cutting edge sound with thoughtful lyrics. With a wonderfully attractive voice which at times recalls the legendary Hector Lavoe, Buenaventura duets with the great Cheo Feliciano on ‘Palo y Cuero’ (Stick and Skin). Buenaventura means a ‘good venture’ – he’s certainly embarked on one of those here

Amanecio
Yuri Buenaventura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Des
Piertate vida mia
Que ya amaneció
Es muy bello lo que yo siento
Cuando despierto a tu lado
Y veo tus lindos ojos
Yo me siento enamorado
Y cantan los pajaritos

Anuncian la madrugada
Hay paz en mi corazón
Hay luz en toda mi alma
Yo le doy gracias al cielo
Que en mi cama ha despertado
Y yo me siento en las nubes
Es un sueño realizado
El sol ya se ha levantado
La noche ya se ha marchado
Déjaine decirte amor
Que contigo yo he soñado
Te quiero tanto cosita bella
Yo me siento enamorado
Cuando despierto a tu lado
Me siento como en el cielo
Dime que me quieres, dime que me adoras
Ahora por la mañana
Mira que bonitos que se ven... los pajaritos
Cantando bien... Tan bonito
Bonito. Bonito... Bonito. Bonito.
Ya amaneció ya el sol salió

Esto mira nunca me había pasado
Ya amaneció y estoy enamorado.
