Long ago before the TV was invented
When Papa Lalo and his friends were still young people
They had a guitar that was old and kind of dented
And they learned to sing these songs we call corrido
The corrido is a way of telling stories
Of what we do and how we dream and who we see
Of famous people, crazy times and even worries
And sometimes special folks like you and me
[Chorus:]
Now it's our turn to make a rhyme for Papa Lalo
And as we sing I'll play the song on my guitar
It doesn't matter if the song is good or malo
'Cause just to sing it makes you feel just like a star
Our Papa Lalo made a blimp from wool and tires
It's so big it almost covers the whole sky
And then he filled it full of air with mom's hair dryer
We were amazed when Papa showed us it could fly
[Chorus]
Up in the air we could touch the clouds and feel the breeze
We see the grass and hils and people down below
We're flying south so we can meet our Papa's family
It's Lalo's birthday and we're going to Mexico
[Chorus]
Los Lobos is a Chicano Mexican-American musical group formed in Los Angeles in 1973. Their sound, deeply rooted in rock music, incorporates influences of country, folk, R and B, and blues. The band achieved international fame thanks to their cover of "La Bamba", the soundtrack of the 1987 film dedicated to Ritchie Valens, a singer who died prematurely. Los Lobos is composed of David Hidalgo (vocals, guitar), Louie Pérez (guitar, vocals), Cesar Rosas (bass, vocals), Conrad Lozano (accordion, keyboards) and Steve Berlin (saxophone, percussion). Throughout their long career, they have collaborated with artists from different generations, such as Jackson Browne, The Rolling Stones and Elvis Costello. Among their most representative songs are "La Bamba", "Will the Wolf Survive?" and "Kiko and the Lavender Moon".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
