Pelota Lyrics

[Chorus]
Ahorita yo
Puedo ser una pelota
Ahorita yo
Puedo ser una pelota
Ahorita yo
Puedo ser una pelota
Ahorita yo
Puedo ser una pelota

[Chorus]
Ahorita yo
Puedo ser una pelota
Ahorita yo
Puedo ser una pelota
Ahorita yo
Puedo ser una pelota
Ahorita yo
Puedo ser una pelota

[Verse 3]
Ayyy, yo quiero ser cura
Yo quiero ser curandera
Pero quiero amar el desastre
El desastre que es mío
Mmm, yo quiero cavar
Encontrar el camino
Y después, lo quiero entrar
No quiero correr de este paseo
Y después, lo quiero entrar
No quiero correr de este paseo
Y después, lo quiero entrar
No quiero correr de este paseo
Y después, lo quiero entrar
No quiero correr de este paseo

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

The song was influenced by Spanish Rumba and Flamenco music, in addition to other styles.

“We were listening to a lot of ‘El Fary’ at the farm during the writing and recording of this album.”

Mark’s guitar part was inspired by Haitian Kompas and Conjunto Tejano.

Unlike most Khruangbin songs, Mark and Laura Lee sing in different octaves on this track. Method acting as they tend to do, they decided to have a glass of tequila while recording. They double tracked the vocals, and if you listen carefully, you can hear them clink their glasses. They happened to “cheers” at exactly the same time on both takes.
