![]() ![]() Sorry to have taken this beautiful song and tear it apart. An equivalent phrase "ay caramba" means pretty much the opposite. ![]() This is an abstraction implying "I will provide you emotional support" and is not a love commitment as would be "I am yours." This is just a dance and you are a dance partner!Īy arriba: this short phrase is highly idiomatic and does not translate literally at all, especially with the word "ay." This closest you can come to is something like "Yippee" or "Hooray" as an simple cry of joy. The word "there" is omitted because the Spanish "alli" or "con eso" implies a physical location. Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan: I'm the alpha dog, I make the decisions. This is accomplished with practice rather than natural ability. It makes it appear effortless and pleasing to watch.

If you remember the stanza about the boyfriend called Vitorino, here's what the original lyrics translate to: Macarena has a boyfriened who's called.Īnd while he was taking his oath as a conscript The lyrics later received flak for not being 'innocent'. Here's the English translation: Give happiness to your body Macarena/'cause your body is for giving happiness and nice things to/Give happiness to your body Macarena/Heeey. Dale a tu cuerpo alegra Macarena/Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegra y cosas buenas/Dale a tu cuerpo alegra Macarena/Eh,? Macarena! Aaay! Always wondered what those unpronounceable lyrics means? here's a translation courtesy.
