Jarabe De Palo
Forum
I just saw the video to Bonito today, I loved it! Hopefully this will be the big breakthrough for Jarabe de Palo in the rest of Europe. I love all their albums and hope they will do a European tour in the future, so more people in The Netherlands will get acquainted with their beautiful lyrics & music!
P.S. The English lyrics to Bonito are available through JdP's website

Just got Bonito. As I said before, great music, but now not just great, but fantastic! I'm so obesessed with the melodies that I find any excuse for playing the CD. Nice that all his CDs are not 'the same' - he has a good range of sound, and as someone mentioned, his lyrics should be taken seriously by the world.
Congratulations to all you non-English speakers. Wish I could speak other languages as well as you speak English!!

I am so thrilled to find a discussion on one of my favorite groups!
Did anyone really get into the "de vuelta y vuelta"?
I bought it a while ago but didn't spend much time with it.
All of the other ones are more than amazing. Their sound is clean and tight. I like that they experiment with sounds from other latin cultures.
This band has played a crucial role in my studies in Spanish. It gave me the hunger to look up each and every new word-I learned a lot that way!
By the way, does anyone know where I can find a list concert dates and locations?
Que guy!

I'm a bit late in joining the Jarabe de Palo bandwagon (and it's not easy to find "Bonito" in the US), but I have an English translation that some might find helpful if their Spanish is a bit lacking.
TRANSLATION OF “BONITO” by Jarabe de Palo
(“Bonito” means “pretty, beautiful, or pretty nice” in Spanish.)
Beautiful, everything seems beautiful to me.
Beautiful morning, beautiful place,
beautiful bed,
how good it is to see the sea.
beautiful day and it has just begun,
beautiful life
breathe, breathe, breathe
The telephone rings, my cordoroys complain (make noise),
things going badly, life weighted down,
to live like this no longer holds interest,
to continue like this it’s not worth the trouble,
lost your love, the party’s over,
the motor that pushes the world ceases to run,
life is a joke with a sad ending,
the future doesn’t exist but I say...
Beautiful, everything seems beautiful (pretty) to me.
Beautiful peace, beautiful life,
beautiful to be reborn each day,
beautiful truth when lies make no sound,
beautiful friendship, beuatiful smile,
beautiful people of high quality,
beautiful people that don’t regret
that win, that lose, that talk and not lie,
beautiful people and for this I say....
Beautiful, everything seems beautiful to me.
How beautiful it is (that which) goes to you when it goes to you beautifully, how beautiful when it goes to you.
Beautiful, everything seems beautiful to me.
The sea, the morning, the house, the samba,
the earth, the peace, and the life that happens.
Beautiful, everything seems beautiful to me.
Your bed, your salsa, the spot on your back,
your face, your wishes, the weekend.
Beautiful people that come and go,
beautiful people that don’t stop,
beautiful people without age,
that listen, that understand, that have and give.
Beautiful Portet, beautiful Peret,
beautiful rumba, beatiful José,
beautiful breeze that doesn’t hurry
beautiful day, breathe, breathe, breathe.
Beautiful people when they’re true,
beautiful people that are different,
that shiver, that feel,
that live in the moment,
beautiful people that were here and aren’t now.
Beautiful, everything seems beautiful to me.
How beautiful it is (that which) goes to you when it goes to you beautifully, how beautiful it is when it goes to you.
How beautiful it is that stays when it stays beautiful,
how beautiful it stays.
Bonito, todo me parece bonito.
Got it now?
Hope this helps those who were in need.

quick correction..... "RISA" means laughter. In my rush, I put "smile", which is a "sonrisa". And beautiful is misspelled a few times, but the repition was killing me.
Lo siento mucho para las equivocaciones y cualquiera otra descubririas.
