Re: "Wayo"
I've never heard it in context. I've only heard it used as an interjection, similar to when they say "azota" or "dale mambo". Track 1 on Santana's Supernatural album is titled Yalleo. Could that be it, and what does it mean? This has been stumping me for a long time. Thanks.

Re: "Wayo"
I think they're just things he (or singers in general) say, and they don't really mean anything. Just like in English when you say whoo hoooo

Re: "Wayo"
I figured it out! He is saying "Miren Miren Y O". I think it means "look at me". He is spelling out "yo" with English pronunciation of the letters. That's why I heard "wayo". Duh. These reggaeton guys drive me nuts sometimes.

Guayo is what we call a cheese grater
I am Puerto Rican and guayo is what we called the cheese grater and guayando means grinding like when you're at the "club" and dance the way people do to reggeaton. Like in one song they "pa guayando" for grinding lol

Sounds cool to me!
In "La Bamba" I used to think it was "Una poca de gracia para mi patilla" until it dawned on me that it was "¡Una poca de gracia pa' mi y pa' ti ya!". ¡Qué tonto soy!

@Pino: Es verdad; este son jarocho* tiene una infinidad de versiones porque, normalmente, sólo permanece invariable el coro y éste se alterna con estrofas que improvisa el cantante --en general ligeramente pícaras e inconexas entre sí.
El coro: Para cantar/bailar la bamba Para cantar/bailar la bamba Se necesita una poca de gracia Una poca de gracia y otra cosita Ay arriba y arriba Ay arriba y arriba y arriba iré Yo no soy marinero Yo no soy marinero Por ti seré Por ti seré Por ti seré Bamba Bamba Después de unas tres o cuatro repeticiones del coro, se usan variaciones de esta otra estrofa: Ay, te pido caramba Ay, te pido caramba de corazón/por compasión Que se acabe la bamba Que se acabe la bamba y venga otro son Ay arriba y arriba y arriba iré Yo no soy marinero Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán Soy capitán Soy capitán Creo que la que Sancho citó es la versión de Ritchie Valens que, por cierto, sí dice "pa' mí, pa tí, ay arriba y arriba ya". Yo sólo conocía el cóver de Los Lobos, que tienen la otra letra que puse antes. ![]() *Jarocho es el gentilicio de las personas nacidas en el estado mexicano de Veracruz. Y "son" es el género musical. ![]()
