Changüí en la Casa de Nora. The changui of Elio Reve Jr is the proof of a great musical legacy. The track is refreshing while keeping the flavour of the Cuban countryside. It is an acoustic tune with tres and guitar and very pure.
VOICE 1: Second cousin, third, fourth, fifth and the bass drum, Second cousin, and third, fourth, fifth and the bass drum, that sounds everywhere the melody of my son. I eat the ajiaco, and in the changüí I am the law, I eat the ajiaco, and in the changüí I am the law, He who follows me gets tired or bursts like an ox. VOICE 2: Hey, changüiceros, who are listening to me, you cannot be surprised when you hear me sing the changüí from the deep mountains, I put the feeling and it is up to you to get there. Not everything has been said here, there is still a lot to say, I can't say goodbye, dammit. I carry a sack of yucas, because I am going to Nora's house to prepare the ajiaco. VOICE 3: And Elito who was there shouted to me desperately, And Elito who was there shouted to me desperately, throw the salsa to the side, I’ll bring the changüí here There they played the marimba, the tres sounded, the bongo sounded. There they played the marimba, the tres sounded, the bongo sounded. Nora and Gaínza said, I’ll put the ajiaco on. VOICE 2: I’m not going to miss the ajiaco from Nora’s house, no way! Hurry up boy, the ajiaco is tasty. The guajiro from Holguín! Play! Let’s eat, How delicious the changüí is I’m not going to miss it. Hey, good thing, look at it, look at it, look at it, look at it, look at it But how good. I’m looking for a pretty girlfriend from Guantanamo Loma del Chivo, how she enjoys herself there, I’m not going to miss it. She’s my friend, I’m telling you how good it is. Sweetie, look at my life, don't miss the changüí. Nora's house is for enjoying, Oh! Elio Revé told me.
VOZ 1: Prima segunda, tercera, cuarta quinta y el bordón,
Prima segunda, y tercera, cuarta quinta y el bordón,
que suena por donde quiera la melodía de mi son.
El ajiaco yo me como, y en el changüí soy la ley,
El ajiaco yo me como, y en el changüí soy la ley,
el que me siga se cansa o revienta como un buey.
VOZ 2: Eh, changüiceros, que me escuchan, no se pueden asombrar
cuando me escuchen cantar el changüí de monte adentro,
yo le pongo el sentimiento y a ustedes las de llegar.
Aquí no se ha dicho todo, falta mucho por decir,
no me puedo despedir, caramba.
De yucas yo llevo un saco,
pues me voy para casa de Nora a preparar el ajiaco.
VOZ 3: Y Elito que estaba allí me gritó desesperado,
Y Elito que estaba allí me gritó desesperado,
echa la salsa para una lado que el changüí lo traigo aquí
Allí tocaron marimba, sonó el tres, sonó el bongó.
Allí tocaron marimba, sonó el tres, sonó el bongó.
Dijeron Nora y Gaínza, el ajiaco lo pongo yo.
VOZ 2: El ajiaco de casa de Nora yo no me lo voy a perder, ¡qué va!
Apúrate muchacho que el ajiaco está sabroso.
¡El guajiro de Holguín!, ¡juega!
Vamos a comer,
Qué rico está el changüí
No me lo voy a perder.
Eh, cosa buena, mírele, mírele, mírele, mírele, mírele
Pero qué bueno.
Yo busco una novia linda guantanamera
Loma del Chivo, como se goza allá,
No me voy a perder.
Ella es mi amiga, te digo que bueno es.
Cosita rica, mira de mi vida no te vayas a perder el changüí.
La casa de Nora es para gozar,
¡Ay!, me lo dijo Elio Revé.
