El Año Viejo Lyrics in English by Yuri

Suegra translates to "mother-in-law". While it might seem like an everyday word, its inclusion in this song is quite humorous and culturally interesting.

In "El Año Viejo," the singer lists all the good things the old year left him, including a "buena suegra" (a good mother-in-law). This is a playful twist on the often-joked-about relationship with a mother-in-law, making it memorable and adding a touch of lightheartedness to the lyrics. It's a word that sparks curiosity about why it's highlighted in such a celebratory context.

Get ready to groove with Yuri's "El Año Viejo"! This song is a super fun and upbeat celebration of the past year, focusing on all the good things it brought. Yuri sings, "Yo no olvido el año viejo / Porque me ha dejado cosas muy buenas" [I don't forget the old year / Because it has left me very good things]. It's all about looking back with gratitude and a big smile.

What exactly did the old year leave her? Well, she lists some pretty specific and funny things! "Me dejó una chiva / Una burra negra / Una yegua blanca / Y una buena suegra" [It left me a goat / A black donkey / A white mare / And a good mother-in-law]. The repetition of these lines, especially the good mother-in-law, is just hilarious and makes you want to dance along. It's a reminder to appreciate even the unexpected blessings and to let go of any worries, as she says it "se llevó la pena / Que me perturbaba / Y me dejó / Puras cosas buenas" [it took away the sorrow / That disturbed me / And left me / Only good things]. So, crank it up and get ready to celebrate!
