Pavo Real

This song iis one of those popular/regional ballads that
are accepted by the public and become almost a trademark for the artist.
This song was released in the 70's by José Luis Rodríguez, a very well
liked and famous singer/actor from Venezuela. He is known, among the Spanish
speaking public, almost as well, if not more, by his nickname, El Puma
(Mountain Lion.) This nickname stuck on him after his appearance early in
his career, in a telenovela where he played the part of a wild and magical mountain doctor,
known as El Puma. From then on, he became El Puma. His popularity was huge. His music
was full of romanticism and sensuality, and his concerts attracted thousands of
screaming fans. Sound familiar? He has recorded albums in several
languages. He's still very active in the entertainment industry. He recently
gave a concert in Miami, to promote his latest album, "Champagne" in which he
celebrates love in the romantic style of the 60's and 70's.

I have to tell you though, this song has nothing to do with peacocks! This is a silly song, really.
And it doesn't make sense in some parts, but I guess is a unity hymn. The word "chévere" is
used in the Caribbean and countries of Central and South América to mean
"great" or "cool" as they say nowadays! I used the word wonderful.

PAVO REAL

PEACOCK

Numerao, Numerao. Viva la numeración
Quien ha visto matrimonio
Sin correr amonestación

Pavo real hu, pavo real hu
Pavo real hu, pavo real hu

A todos los que me escuchan
Aquí les vengo a dejar. aquí les vengo a dejar un corrío venezolano que se llama pavo real. Que se llama pavo real

Y a las muchachas les digo
Que aquí me quiero casar
Que aquí me quiero casar
Y ahora mismo les ofrezco
Cuatro casas por capital. La prenatal, el manicomio, la cárcel o el hospital

Numerao, numerao. Viva la numeración
Quien ha visto matrimonio
Sin correr amonestación

Numeran, numeran. Viva la numeración
Quien ha visto matrimonio
Sin correr amonestación

Chévere, cun chévere, cun chévere

Agárrensen de las manos
Unos a otros conmigo
Agárrense de las manos si ya encontraron su amigo
Juntos podemos llegar donde jamás hemos ido. Juntos podemos llegar
Unan sus manos conmigo

Si quieren venir conmigo
A la tierra de las flores
Si quieren buscar amores
De los que aman de verdad. No dejen que yo me vaya con el corazón vacío

No esperen a que haga frío para empezar a buscar el calor de un buen amigo
Que les hable que les quiera
Que una palabra sincera
Puede las penas callar

Agárrensen de las manos unos a otros conmigo. Agárrense de las manos si ya
encontraron su amigo
Juntos podemos llegar unan sus manos conmigo. Juntos podemos llegar donde jamás hemos ido.

Agárrensen de las manos unos a otros conmigo. Agárrense de las manos si ya encontraron su amigo. Juntos podemos llegar donde jamás hemos ido.

Agárrense de las manos...

Cesar Del Avila - Jose Maria Puron

Numbers, numbers. Hurrah for numbers!
Who has ever seen, a marriage being
held, without the posting of the banns.

Pavo Real, hu! Pavo Real, hu!
Pavo Real, hu! Pavo Real, hu!

To everyone that's listening, here I come
to bring you, here I come to bring you,
a ballad from Venezuela, called the
Pavo Real. That's is called the Pavo Real.

And to the girls, I say, that here is where
I want to get married. Yes, here I want to
get married. And here and now I offer them
four houses as colateral. The original, the
insane asylum, jail or the hospital.

Numbers, numbers. Hurrah for numbers!
Who has ever seen, a marriage being held,
without the posting of the banns.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful......

Hold one another by the hand, with me.
Hold hands, if you've found your friend.
Together, we can go where we've never
been before. Together we can get there,
join your hands to mine.

If you want to come with me, to the
land where the flowers can be found,
if you want to look for love, a love that
is true, don't let me leave with an
empty heart.

Don't wait till it gets cold, to begin
looking for the warmth a good friend
offers. Someone who talks to you,
someone who loves you. That a word
that's sincere, makes sorrow disappear.

Hold one another by the hand, with me.
Hold hands, if you've found your friend.
Together, we can get there. Join your
hands to mine. Together we can go,
where we've never been before.

Hold one another by the hand, come
with me. Hold hands, if you've found a
friend. Together we can go, where we've
nerver been before.

Hold one another by the hand.......
