Review

Alberto Vázquez Maracas meaning and English lyrics explained

I knew nothing about Alberto Vázquez until a few days ago I heard the song, so I decided to translate the song called “Maracas” – Maracas are percussion instruments in the form of a hollow gourd. It is said that maracas were invented by indigenous tribes near the Orinoco River.

Maracas is a beautiful and simple song about two friends who after so many years get reunited so they decided to talk so they can remember their youthful days. One of them asks the other what happened to his wife to which the other responds that he got divorced. the woman he is now divorced was once a girl they both love, they both tried to gain her love, one of them giving her roses and the other one with carnations. They both serenade using a guitar and maracas the girl in her balcony but in the end, she picked the one who gave her carnations.

After so many hours talking the friend who got divorced from the girl says that he misses her and wants to recover her. his friend encourages him to go tell the woman what he feels and bring her a serenade just like they did when they were sixteen and she was fifteen.

Easy song and excellent to practice Spanish. I just loved it and if you want to hear something different this is the right song. I assure you will love it.
