The late Puntillita was a member of "Buena vista social club" and this is an early recording of him late 1950's classical recording and a gem in the history of Cuban Music.
Who doesn't know Palanca in his hometown? From Pin to the Hospital, from Santanal to Barranca. Palanca went from party to party in those neighborhoods and although someone else always paid, he invited the orchestra. With Palanca there was always the chilindrón at the party, and he drank the typical ciruelón in the Manzana. There is one neighborhood missing, the Barracón where Palanca ate, and they say that a famous chicharrón gave him indigestion, that is why in his town they sing to him: there in the bottom of your belly you have Palanca a chicharrón, there in the bottom of your belly you have Palanca a chicharrón. Screaming for various purgatives to relieve your ailments, your indigestion. Let's go with Palanca to have a ciruelón, let's go with Palanca to have a ciruelón. Let's go to the Manzana to have a ciruelón, let's go to the Manzana to have a ciruelón. Palanca is cured with a ciruelón with two he gets indigestion with a chicharrón. Oh! Oh! Let's go with Palanca to have some plums, let's go with Palanca to have some plums. Let's go with Palanca to have some plums, let's go to the Apple to have some plums. Oh! Let's go with Palanca to have some plums. Let's go with Palanca to have some plums. Oh!
¿Quién no conoce a Palanca
en su pueblito natal?
Desde el Pin para el Hospital,
de Santanal a Barranca.
Palanca de fiesta en fiesta
por esos barrios andaba
y aunque otro siempre pagaba,
él invitaba a la orquesta.
Con Palanca no faltaba
en la fiesta el chilindrón,
y el típico ciruelón
en la Manzana él tomaba.
Falta un barrio, el Barracón
donde Palanca comió,
y dicen que le indigestó
un famoso chicharrón,
por eso en su pueblo le cantan:
allá en el fondo de tu barrigona
tienes Palanca un chicharrón,
allá en el fondo de tu barrigona
tienes Palanca un chicharrón.
Pidiendo a gritos varios purganticos
que alivien tus males, de tu indigestión.
Vamos con Palanca a tomar ciruelón,
vamos con Palanca a tomar ciruelón.
Vamos a la Manzana a tomar ciruelón,
vamos a la Manzana a tomar ciruelón.
Palanca se cura con un ciruelón
con dos se indigesta con un chicharrón. ¡Anda!
¡Ay!, vamos con Palanca a tomar ciruelón,
vamos con Palanca a tomar ciruelón.
Vamos con Palanca a tomar ciruelón,
vamos a la Manzana a tomar ciruelón.
¡Ay!, vamos con Palanca a tomar ciruelón.
Nos vamos con Palanca a tomar ciruelón. ¡Anda!
