I certainly was not expecting such a lively discussion but I am glad that it has highlighted the complexities of English as well. As a native speaker of English, it's hard to recognize the quirks of your language until those who speak English as a second language point it out.

In spite of the clarification offered that the artist is saying "a loh'os," I cannot hear this either. But I will have to put my OCD aside and accept that the official lyrics don't precisely match what he is saying.

Thanks again!
I listened to it several times, and there is one time when I can actually hear the words (I think it's the third time). Several English friends who speak fluent Spanish have said they can hear it without a problem, but I can't. I posted the question on a local forum to get responses.
