THIS IS A GREAT! SONG BY THE INTERNACIONAL KNOWN DOMINICAN SINGER JUAN LUIS GUERRA ITS CALLED " EL COSTO DE LA VIDA" AND IT TELLS ABOUT HOW THE POOR PEOPLE OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ARE HAVING A HARD TIME WITH SO MANY PROBLEMS. IT ALSO TELLS ABOUT ON HOW 500 YEARS AFTER COLUMBUS CAME TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC HE LEFT A LAND WHERE ITS PEOPLE ARE A MIX OF EUROPEAN,AFRICAN,AND INDIAN .....HE PUTS A FUNNY TONE TO THE SONG.
WELL ENJOY THE LYRICS
JUAN LUIS GUERRA
EL COSTO DE LA VIDA

SOLISTA CORO
El costo e? la vida sube otra vez El peso que baja ya ni se ve
Y las habichuelas no se pueden comer Ni una libra de arroz ni una cuarta e' caf?
A nadie le importa que piensa usted Ser? porque aqu?
No hablamos ingl?s Ah ah
E' verdad Ah ah
E' verdad Ah ah
E' verdad Do you
Understand.
(DO YOU, DO YOU)

Si la gasolina sube otra vez El peso que baja ya ni se ve
Y la democracia no puede crecer Si la corrupci?n juega ajedrez
A nadie le importa que piensa usted Ser? porque aqu?
No hablamos franc?s Ah ah
Vou parlez Ah ah
Vou parlez Ah ah
Vou parlez Ah ah
No monsieur.

Somos un agujero
en medio del mar y el cielo
quinientos a?os despu?s.
Una raza encendida
negra, blanca y ca?na
pero quien descubri? a qui?n.

Um e?verdad
Um e?verdad
Um e?verdad
Um e?verdad

Ay el costo e' la vida E ? ya v? pa'rriba tu v?
Y el peso que baja E ? ya v? pobre ni se v?
Y la medicina E ? ya v? camina al rev?s
Aqu? no se cura E ? ya v? ni un callo en el pi?
Ay qui qui qui E ? ya v? ay qui qui?
Y ahora el desempleo E ? ya v? me mordi? tambi?n
A nadie le importa E ? ya v? pu?' no hablamo' ingl?s
Ni a la "Misubichi" Ni a la Chevrol?'.

La corrupci?n p?'rriba E ? ya v? pa'rriba tu v?
Y el peso que baja E ? ya v? pobre ni se v?
Y la delincuencia E ? ya v? me pill? esta vez
Aqu? no se cura E ? ya v? ni un callo en el pi?
Ay qui qui qui E ? ya v? ay qui qui?
Y ahora el desempleo E ? ya v? me mordi? tambi?n
A nadie le importa E ? ya v? pu?' no hablamo' ingl?s
Ni a la "Misubichi" E ? ya v? a la Chevrol?'.
Um e?verdad
Um e?verdad
Um e?verdad
Um e?verdad
Um e?verdad
Um e?verdad
Um e?verdad
E ? mama ?

La recesi?n p?'rriba E ? ya v? pa'rriba tu v?
Y el peso que baja E ? ya v? pobre ni se v?
Y la medicina E ? ya v? camina al rev?s
Aqu? no se cura E ? ya v? ni un callo en el pi?
Ay qui qui qui E ? ya v? ay qui qui?
Y ahora el desempleo E ? ya v? me mordi? tambi?n
A nadie le importa E ? ya v? pu?' no hablamo' ingl?s
Ni a la "Misubichi" Ni a la Chevrol?'.

E' verdad Ah ah

That's a brilliant song.
E' verdad Ah ah
E' verdad Ah ah

Is it a merengue? It seems to me the words in merengue can be strong, but the light-heartedness makes it possible to endure. Even after 500 years. :cheeky:
Thanks for sharing.

Juan Luis Guerra is a brilliant composer and he uses everyday Dominican situations to get the message across in a light rhythmic (sp) merengue.
He's brillliant and writes for many other artists too, one being the famous Luis Miguel. He's won the grammy. He's our pride and joy. He is very down to earth and that's admirable.

YUP HE IS A DOMINICAN PRIDE
QUE VIVA QUSIQUEYA LA BELLA LA TIERRA DE MIS AMORES
TIERRA DE LINDAS PLAYAS Y BELLAS FLORES
MAS QUISQUEYA LA INDOMITA Y BRAVA
