Gustu al cuerpo by Marcos Castán — Lyrics
A mi n´a más me gusta que dali gustu al cuerpo
Si yo juera bien rico jacía n´a más eso;
jechalme güenas siestas embajo de los fresnos;
jartalmi de gaspachos con güevos y poleos;
cascalmi güenos fritis con bolas y pimientos;
mercal un buen caballo;
tener un jornalero que to me lo jiciera,
pa estalmi yo bien quieto,

About Gustu al cuerpo
This Spanish part-song paints a picture of simple pleasures and a life of leisure. The text describes a desire to indulge the body with good food, naps under trees, fine horses, and a life free from labor. The speaker dreams of a wealthy existence dedicated solely to comfort and enjoyment, a stark contrast to everyday toil. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies to support this warm, earthy text, bringing the singer's desires to life. It's a celebration of corporeal satisfaction and a longing for a life of ease and plenty, expressed with a charmingly direct and unpretentious voice.
