about

In Park Slope, Brooklyn, on an early spring morning, years ago, I casually spoke to a friend about throwing a BBQ party to celebrate spring and forget winter. He replied in the queen’s Spanish (he was a Barcelona chap) “joder tio es muy buena la idea para los “pollitos de primavera”…and suddenly, a great party tune of that title popped into my head for me to write it!

lyrics

POLLITOS DE PRIMAVERA

(REFRAN)
Pollitos de Primavera
Algo Nuevo nos espera
En la parrilla despues de invierno
Bien sazonao y tierno

No hay pena que resista
El Calor del Patio ardiente
De la fiesta y amigos
Bajo el sol de primavera
Algo Nuevo en el ambiente
Hasta un muerto renaciente
Bailara y gozara
Y se olvidara las penas

(REFRAN)
Ayer le entrege
Mi dulce corazon
A un pollito que tan conmigo
Baila siempre el son

Y yo si la quiero
Y siempre espero
A poder le hablar
Y hoy le voy a cantar
Que Si tu quieres regresar
Y bailar conmigo un poquito
Tu seras mi pollito
Por toda la vida entera….

Mi…
(REFRAN)







CORO 1
Pollitos de primavera

Venga el que quiera
A comer un pollito
Bien sazonao y rico que esta
El pollito asadito
Con su yucita y su mojito
El ambiente con mi gente suavecito
Asi que tumba la cande tumba la candela
Que la niche esta
Esta bien buena


CORO 2
Ay yai yai yai
Canta y no Llores

Canta conmigo
Alza tu voz
Mueve ese cuerpo y los piez
Que la vida es bella
Canta con alma
Aunque quieras llorar
Hecha pa lante
Canta
Y siguen cantando









Chicks of Spring

(REFRAIN)
Chickens of Spring
Something new awaits us
On the grill after the winter
Well seasoned and tender

There is no pain that can make you resist
The heat of a warm yard
And a party of friends
Under the spring sun
A newness in the air
Even a dead soul will be reborn
Dance and and enjoy
And forget all pain
(REFRAIN)

Yesterday I gave
My sweet heart
To a girl who with me
Always dances son
And I do love her
And always wait
To speak with her
But today I will sing…

If you want to return
And dance with me a while
You will be my little chicken
For all the rest of our days

My…
(REFRAN)





CORO 1
Chicken of Spring
Something new awaits us
On the grill after the winter
Well seasoned and tender

Come one and all
To eat a little chicken
Well seasoned and tasty
Those roasted chicks
With yuca and marinade
Your gonna say ooh it’s so good
The ambiance with my friends easy
So cut cut the candle
Cause this dark night is so good

CORO2
Ay ya yai yai
Sing and don’t cry…

Don’t Cry any more
Don’t cry for your errors
Sing and keep singing
Cause life is made for pleasure

Sing with me
Raise your voice
Move your body and feet
Cause life is good
Sing with your soul
Even if you feel like crying
Move forward
Sing
And keep on
singing
