Bon Dia Lyrics in English by Niña Pastori

Camelo is a fascinating verb borrowed from the Caló language of the Spanish Romani people, deeply connected to flamenco culture. While it can mean 'to trick' or 'to seduce', in this context, it's a passionate and colloquial way to say 'I love you' or 'I adore you'.

When Niña Pastori sings "Yo te camelo", she's expressing a deep, heartfelt affection that carries more weight and flavor than a simple 'te quiero'. Learning this word gives you a peek into the rich cultural tapestry of Spain and its music.

This song is a pure celebration of being alive and in love in a beautiful city. Niña Pastori starts by painting a perfect morning: "Bon día, ha despertado azul el cielo" (Good day, the sky has woken up blue) and she's feeling "Agradecida con la vida" (Grateful for life). She reminds us that life is full of good things and we "no puedes perder el tiempo" (can't waste time). The advice is simple and lovely: walk barefoot on the grass, watch the sunrise, and connect with people.

Then, the song zooms in on a specific love. The setting is Barcelona, with a walk down "esa Rambla de mis sueños" (that Rambla of my dreams). The chorus is a joyful shout-out to the city itself: "Que yo me voy pa Barcelona / Que a mí me gusta lo que hay aquí" (I'm going to Barcelona / I like what's here). She's found a special person there, telling them "Eres diferente, por eso te quiero" (You are different, that's why I love you). It's a song about appreciating every moment, from a morning coffee to a kiss on a famous street.
