This is a very silly little song. Fun, but silly! It makes
reference to the Virgen of Alta Gracia (actually the word runs together -
Altagracia - and it means High Grace or Higher Grace) and to Saint Anthony.
Now, there's a folklore connection (among catholic believers) with Saint
Anthony and his abilities to help one (especially old maids) find a mate. If
you bury him upside down, with his head in the ground, somewhere in your back
yard, he's to stay in that position until the loved one is found. That is
the reference that Chayanne makes in this song. The part about the months of
the year rhymes perfectly in Spanish but adds absolutely nothing to the
song. So, without much further ado, here is Palo Bonito.

PALO BONITO
PRETTY PALO

Palo, palo, palo, Palo bonito, palo eh
Eh, eh, eh, Palo bonito, palo eh

Palo, palo, palo, Palo bonito, palo eh
Eh, eh, eh, Palo bonito, palo eh

Virgen de Altagracia
Compañera mía
Tú para tu casa
Yo para la mía

Tengo A San Antonio
Puesto de cabeza
Si no me da novia|
Nadie lo endereza

Palo, palo, palo, Palo bonito, palo eh
Eh, eh, eh, Palo bonito, palo eh

Palo, palo, palo, Palo bonito, palo eh
Eh, eh, eh, Palo bonito, palo eh

Palo, palo, palo, Palo bonito, palo eh
Eh, eh, eh, Palo bonito, palo eh

Palo, palo, palo, Palo bonito, palo eh
Eh, eh, eh, Palo bonito, palo eh

Oiga San Antonio
A mí gusta ésa
Si está acompañada
Pues no me interesa

Enero, febrero, marzo, abril y mayo
Son los cinco meses
Primeros del año

Palo, palo, palo, Palo bonito, palo eh
Eh, eh, eh, Palo bonito, palo eh

Virgen of Altagracia, companion
of mine. You go your way and
I go mine.

I have Saint Anthony standing
on his head, if he doesn't grant
me a girlfriend, that's how he will stay.

Palo, Palo, Palo, Pretty Palo,
Palo, eh! Yeah, eh, eh!
Pretty Palo, Palo, eh!

Palo, Palo, Palo, Pretty Palo,
Palo, eh! Yeah, eh, eh!
Pretty Palo, Palo, eh!

Pretty Palo, Palo, eh!

Palo, Palo, Palo, Pretty Palo,
Palo, eh! Yeah, eh, eh!
Pretty Palo, Palo, eh!

Listen, Saint Anthony, I like
that one, and if she's not alone,
well, it doesn't matter!

January, February, March, April
and May, are the first five months
of the year.

Palo, Palo, Palo, Pretty Palo,
Palo, eh! Yeah, eh, eh!
Pretty Palo, Palo, eh!

Palo, Palo, Palo, Pretty Palo,
