JOSE FELICIANO translations

Hello! I'm new here. I'm an avid Jose fan and my 3 favorite Spanish songs of his are "Oye Guittara Mia", "Nena Na Na", and "Bomboleo". What do I have to do to get the translations?

I love his songs so much but really want to also know what they are saying!! Thanks in advance for any instructions you can give me to get me started--

Linda

hello! welcome!
hows it goin?
haha well to make things move along quickly you could post the lyrics
and yea from there someone will translate :P

Hi and thanks--

I am still looking for the Spanish lyrics online, having a hard time with two of the songs. I did find Nena Na Na in both Spanish AND English, so I will keep looking for the others and will be back when I find those!

Este amor llega asi esta manera
No tiene la culpa
Caballo le ven sabana
Porque muy depreciado,
Por eso no te perdon de llorar
Este amor llega asi esta manera
No tiene la culpa,
Amor de comprementa
Amor del mes pasado
Bebele, bembele, bembele

Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
No tiene pardon de dios
Tu eres mi vida, la fortuna del destino
Pero el destino tendressa para dos
Lo mismo yo que ayer
Lo mismo soy yo
No te encuentro a l'abandon
Es imposible no te encuentro de verdad
Por eso un dia no cuentro si de nada
Lo mismo you que ayer
Yo pienso en ti

Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi

Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi

OYE GUITARRA MÍA
José Feliciano (Puerto Rico)


Oye guitarra mía
tu que sabes hablar mejor
quiero que tu le digas
lo que siente mi corazón.
Oye guitarra mía
tu que sabes hablar mejor
quiero que tu le digas
lo que siento yo por su amor.

Dile que la luz del día
dile que el amanecer
dile que cada momento
me recuerda su querer,
me recuerda su querer.

Oye guitarra mía.....

Y que al contemplar la noche
con mi alma enamorada
la negrura de los cielos
me recuerda su mirada,
me recuerda su mirada.

Oye guitarra mía.....

Dile que en la madrugada
recuerdo sus frases bellas
mientras muero en mis suspiros
con la luz de las estrellas,
con la luz de las estrellas.

Oye guitarra mía.....

Dile que mientras yo duermo
ella está en todos mis sueños
no preguntes que me pasa
si es que triste me despierto
es que al despertar la pierdo.

Oye guitarra mía......

tu que sabes hablar mejor
YOU THAT KNOWS TO SPEAK BETTER

Oye guitarra mía.....
LISTEN GUITAR OF MINE
Y que al contemplar la noche
AND THAT WHEN THE NIGHT COMES
con mi alma enamorada
WITH MY SOUL INLOVE
la negrura de los cielos
THE DARKNESS OF THE SKIES
me recuerda su mirada,
REMINDS ME OF YOUR LOOK
me recuerda su mirada.
REMINDS ME OF YOUR LOOK
Oye guitarra mía.....

Dile que en la madrugada

THIS SONG IS WAAY TOO COMPLICATED FOR ME HAHAHA
yea this is pure south american lol l
not my kind of spanish lol see theres like differences
haha umm...for me TOMATOE is TOMATE in spanish and for southamerican peoples its AJI

major difference soo yea i doubt that ill ever figure out what bamboleo means
hahaha soo yea thats all i could entirely get :P i tried haha

I'm glad you can understand how frustrating it is to love a song and have no idea--

I thank you again for all the hard work of helping me with my desire to understand.

Bamboleo--- maybe it is Bomboleo??? Does that mean anything to you?

Have you ever heard Jose Feliciano do this or Oye Guitarra Mia? They are both stirring and intense!!!

GRACIAS!!!!

yes i have heard the bamboleo song
i just never knew who sang it
actually i never thought to ask what bamboleo meant
i just thought it was a made up word really hahaha

Its like slang really
sometimes you dont even know what it is but if put as another word your like "OH!" hahaha

but yess it does get frustrating to hear a song and just become obsessed with it but not know what it means

haha you should really look into greek music its the best haha
or well it is until you realize you have no clue what your attempting to sing along to :P

i recommend despina vandi and elli kokkinou
haha but yea no prob! if theres any other songs then yea fell free to post away

I met Jose Feliciano in November after a gig in NYC-- his wife invited me backstage (long story why!). When I spoke to him, I told him that I listen to his English and Spanish albums, and I even sing along in Spanish, but I had no idea what they meant--only how they made me feel-- happy, full of life, etc when I sit on the beach, etc-- the ultimate! Then I told him these 3 songs-- the 2 you did and the Nena Na Na-- were my very favorites. Since I met him, it has really been bothering me that I DIDN'T know what they meant! That's what started my web search, and lucky for me, I found you!! Ha Ha I will try your Greek music as soon as I can. And thanks once again!

P.S. I got his autograph and pictures of me with him-- let me know if you want to see! I have loved him all my life, since he became famous and I was in college.


Linda

Im glad i could help you

wow you actually met him?! crazy! im quite jealous :P haha

yess the internet was the best place to turn to
It's crazy how the songs you like most are the ones you cant understand haha
and the greek music will only add to the frustration but damn is it good

ooh pictures! sure id like to see
so your THE #1 fan im guessing huh?

Yes, I believe I am!!

I will try to find the link-- my pics are posted on a Jose website. I'll try now.

Feliciano Fiesta News Page 2006


At the above link, scroll ALL the way down to almost the very bottom of the 2006 news page-- There you will see Nov 06 "linda sent these pictures" (underlined in blue) ( Underneath that is my quote about meeting him which you might want to read before you look at the pictures.) Click on the blue and my pics will show up. The young girl with me and Jose is my granddaughter Ashley. (I'm at the right of that picture)

Let me know if you find them!!

wow those are nice pics
its like you two are buddies haha
wow #1 for 40 years thats some loyalty you have right there

Thanks-- I cherish the one of me and Jose together-- I have it all over the house!

I am loyal, yes. I listen to other singers and groups, but when I want to really relax and get carried away with music-- on the beach, etc-- it always comes back to Jose!

Have you met any of your favorites??

sadly no... jennifer lopez has yet to make an appearance in Edmonton
haha

and i dont go to any concerts either
soo i stick to just listening to the music over and over again

maybe ill go to one just for the heck of it one these days but yea im the concert virgin lol

JLo looked fantastic at the Golden Globes this week-- did you see it? Her hubby Marc Anthony sings Oye Guitarra Mia with my Jose on Jose's new album--see? We're so connected!! LOL

Concerts are the best---start going!!!!

hahahahaa connected lol i LOVE IT! lol

well i will admit Marc Anthony is quite the artist especially since hes associated with the types of Jose
but i still think of him as skeletor, so skeletor we shall call him hahahaa
hmm i shall listen to this Oye mi guitarra..i dont think i have heard it before
anyways!
yess Jennifer was stunning as always
i love her dress
my goodness this woman will not slip up at all!shes always perfect AND its scary how she doesnt age either lol
