"La Flaca" Jarabe de Palo 🎶Cover by Bonis Prince

Hi guys and girls of Hive and 3 speak!🥰

This time I bring you a cover of one of my favorite Spanish rock bands!💓

"La flaca" 💃🏼is a Latin rock song performed by the musical group Jarabe de Palo. It was composed by the Spanish singer and composer Pau Donés and recorded in the album of the same name in 1996.

Composed during the summer of 1995 during the band's trip to Cuba that the film director Fernando de France had organized in order to shoot on the island the video clip of the song El Lado OOscuro. It was in the disco "1830", known as "La Tasca", located on the Malecon in Havana where they met Alsoris Guzman, the young model who inspired the song.

The song gave title to the band's debut album and became a resounding success during the summer of 1997, reaching number 1 on the Top 40 on September 6, 1997 and reaching sales of over 600,000 copies in Spain. Subsequently the success would spread to Latin America, reaching number 9 on the Billboard Latin pop song chart in the United States on September 5, 1998.

Lyrics:

"En la vida conocí
Mujer igual a la flaca
Coral negro de la Habana
Tremendísima mulata
Cien libras de piel y hueso
Cuarenta kilos de salsa
Y en la cara dos soles
Que sin palabras hablan

La flaca duerme de día
Dice que así el hambre engaña
Cuando cae la noche
Baja a bailar a la Tasca
Y bailar y bailar
Y tomar y tomar
Una cerveza tras otra
Pero ella nunca engorda

Por un beso de la flaca
Daría lo que fuera
Por un beso de ella
Aunque sólo uno fuera.

Mojé mis sábanas blancas
Como dice la canción
Recordando las caricias
Que me brindó el primer día
Y enloquezco de ganas de
Dormir a su ladito
¡Porque Dios que esta flaca a
Mí me tiene loquito!

Por un beso de la flaca
Yo daría lo que fuera
Por un beso de ella
Aunque sólo uno fuera."
