Los Del Rio – Macarena lyrics

Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria, Macarena
Heeeeey Macarena
AAAhAA!

Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria, Macarena
Heeeeey Macarena
AAAhAA!

Macarena tiene un novio que se llama
Que se llama de apellido Vitorino,
Que en la jura de bandera el muchacho
Se la dio con dos amigos

Macarena, Macarena, Macarena
Que le gusta los veranos de Marbella
Macarena, Macarena, Macarena
Que le gusta la movida guerrilera

Macarena sueña con El Corte Ingles
Que se compra los modelos mas modernos
Le gustaria vivir en Nueva York
Y ligar un novio nuevo
AAAAhAA!!

When I dance they call me Macarena
And the boys they say que soy buena
They all want me, they can't have me
So they all come and dance beside me
Move with me, chat with me
And if I could I'd take you home with me

Now don't you worry about my boyfriend
The boy who's name is Vitorino
I don't want him, couldn't stand him
He was no good so I
Now come on, what was I suppose to do
He was out of town and his two friends were so fine

Come find me, my name is Macarena
Always at the party con las chicas que estan buenas
Come join me, dance with me
And all you fellas chat along with me

When I dance they call me macarena
And the boys they say that I'm buena
They all want me, they can't have me
So they all come and dance beside me
Move with me, chat with me
And if your good i take you home with me
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria macarena
Que tu cuerpo pa' darle alegria cosabuena
Dal a tu cuerpoEeeh, macarena

The song is a standard dance song, which basicly means there's one dance that you have to repeat multiple times throughout the song. In this the dance is one hand then the other, starting with your left: in front palms down, turn palm up, crossing your arms put them on your shoulders, behind your head, crossing your arms across your waist, placing them on your behind, and then you stop with the hands to swerve your butt in a circle and jupm, tuning 90 degrees to the right.

This song is, has, and will Always be one of my favourites and a must at all dance parties. It's a catchy tune, and even though you have difficulty singing along, you still try.
Macarena is a sort of Female player. She dumps her boyfriend because he's out of town (or at least suggests that she did) and (at least the song suggest that) she then goes out with his 2 friends. She let's them chat and dance wth her, but not really much more. She clearly states that bit in the song. I think that she's an okay girl, but likes to live the rich party and populair life, surrounded by boys who adore her with everything, but withought that she keeps them around for too long. The way I'm putting it, she may sound a bit like a b*, but I don't think she means to be one, really. But the most thing is about having a good time, and losing yourself to the dance.

Macarena is in control. She refuses or accepts whomever she wants as a partner. In the chorus, the men support her wishes ("give your body joy"). It looks to me like a s**-positive feminist song. Wikipedia says her name is derived from magdalena, like mary magdalene, but in spanish culture that's not an insult. The song got started when one of the men spontaneously broke into song to praise a dancer's flamenco performance.
