christmas song....na na na

ok i have a funny request. my fiance has mentioned he loves some colombian christmas song that seems to me to be a kids song. it doesn't seem to have actual words, just na na na or some variation of that. i would love to be able to know the name of the song so i can find a copy to download. it would bring a smile to his face i'm sure as we're very far from his family at christmas (we're in the middle east) and its been very hard for him so far. thanks in advance for the help!

cheers

A la nanita na na The christamas carol in called "A la nanita na na", and it goes like this:
"A la nanita na na na nita na na na ni ta ea mi Jesus tiene sueno bendito sea, bendito sea.
Funetecilla del bosque, clara y sonora.
Ruisenor que el la selva, cantando llora.
Calla mientras la cuna se balanceea.
A la nanita nana na ni ta eeea.
Merry Christmas and hope you find it in the internet.

It's A la nanita na nanaihere are the words... (CORO)
A LA NANITA NANA, NANITA EA, NANITA EA,
MI JESUS TIENE SUEÑO, BENDITO SEA,
BENDITO SEA.

FUENTECILLA QUE CORRES CLARA Y SONORA
RUISEÑO EN LA SELVA CANTANDO LLORAS
CALLAD MIENTRAS LA CUNA SE BALANCEA
A LA NANITA NANA, NANITA EA.

(CORO)

MANOJITO DE ROSAS Y DE ALELIES
¿QUE ES LO QUE ESTAS SOÑANDO QUE TE SONRIES?
CUALES SON TUS SUEÑOS,DILO ALMA MIA MAS,
¿QUE ES LO QUE MURMURAS? EUCARISTIA.

(CORO)

PAJARITOS Y FUENTES, AURAS Y BRISAS
RESPETAD ESE SUEÑO Y ESAS SONRISAS
CALLAD MIENTRAS LA CUNA SE BALANCEA
QUE EL NIÑO ESTA SOÑANDO, BENDITO SEA.

julian you are a prince!!! julian you don't know how happy you made me!!!! thats exactly the song i was looking for. i'm impressed that all of you could identify what i mean just from na na na...hee hee hee...i felt a bit silly last night thinking that you guys will think i'm nuts asking for a song that way! but i'm really really happy you understood and were able to post the song!!! julian i would love it too if you have the chance to put any other songs up on your site. i'm also looking for tuntaina tuturumaina and a song about a tambourine.

thank you so much!!!!!

cheers

mrxcol says on Dec 16, 2004, 05:26:

Funny jaja. Hope you enjoyed it. I remember once i while in London a couple of years ago i was in a electronics store in Oxford st and started playing "Colombia Tierra Querida" in a piano that was there. I played it because i remember it from my piano lessons and i started to see how from all the people in the store about 4-5 were colombians and inmmediately recognized the song and started cheering. It was a small moment of colombianhood in the heart of London. It may sound poetic but it's like when the wind stop blowing, the time stops and there's a felling of magic in the air....

Anyway, i'll put those song you requested today. Sorry i didn't do it yesterday i forgot about it. The songs you seem to look for are "Tutaina Tuturumaina" and "El tamborilero". We call'em "Vilancicos" i don't know if there's a word for that (it would be something like: small christmas songs with (catholic) religious theme). Will post here the link after i get them in about 2 hours

mrxcol says on Dec 16, 2004, 08:07:

Link I already uploaded some files:

http://www.geocities.com/jllanten.rm

I had to change the server because you guys were slowing down my Internet access. I'm a small ISP provider so i have a high download bandwidth but a slow upload bandwidth. I had about 10 people downloading the files and this was slowing down terribly my link.

Hope you enjoy it. That account on geocities is already filled up so i will use another one later i order to upload more songs.

Julian.

Missing Colombian music? You know she can listen to radio Caracol and others via the internet?

thundernco says on Dec 16, 2004, 22:43:

Thanks Julian! I burned a cd for my wife and kids and they absolutely loved it. This is the first year we're not in Colombia for the holidays and it's been difficult for us. I'll put together some questions for you on the it infrastructure in Cali. Thanks again. Que estes bien -TNC

teppar says on Dec 19, 2004, 03:44:

thanks again julian! so sorry its taken me a couple of days to respond, but friday and saturday is my weekend so i've only just got back into the office and been able to catch up on messages. i managed to find tuntaina and coupled with the a la nanita you gave me julian i also downloaded a bunch of villancicos from kazaa and burned a cd for my fiance. the only two songs he liked was the tuntaina and a la nanita (he said he didn't know most of the others) but the look on his face when he heard the music (i just pressed play without telling him anything) was priceless! he was so excited, and then unfortunately also really sad that he wasn't with his family. now though the sadness is gone and i instead wake up to tuntaina ringing in my ears every day! and sadly its not the cd playing or him singing...its just the bloody song stuck in my head!! hee hee :-) it was nice to make him smile though and the songs are a lot of fun.

i've been trying to download the rest on the link you gave us julian but its not working....any idea why? i keep getting the yahoo999 error message. i would love to play them for my partner if i could only just get to them. thanks for putting them up!!

cheers

mrxcol says on Dec 19, 2004, 19:02:

No idea why. I just entered the site (http://www.geocities.com/jllanten.rm)

Try again, maybe it was full or something like that

teppar says on Dec 20, 2004, 01:50:

now it worked julian,

it seems that your website has limited download space. meaning it stops allowing data transfers after awhile. i've managed to get the songs now though. thanks so much!!!

mrxcol says on Dec 20, 2004, 07:43:

I found a new hosting company which allows unlimited download bandwidth. Yahoo had 4 MB per hour so it was getting full all the time. Funny becasue each song was about 2-4 MB. UI don't know how is it that 40 people downloaded songs from there.

I will move all the this new website and will post again when done.

Julian.
