Here on the Playa latin groove original by Debbie Vicari - Video
PUBLISHED:  Oct 31, 2009
DESCRIPTION:
I actually wrote and was ready to record this song, lyrics and melody, in an hour on a bet. It is yet another one of my songs I wrote cause I needed happy songs. I LOVE this one and in fact when done with it I realized how much it made ME want to go to South Puerto Vallarta! Please listen and enjoy.
There is a really funny note about writing in English and Spanish that I learned when writing this song. Initialy the speaking "tease" was going to be "no hay mejor" and if you don't speak spanish ask me to say it or ask someone... but the way it is said.. well since it is primarily an English song, for those that don't know Spanish that would have sounded terrible right before my singing "here on the playa..". I ALMOST recorded it that way but then laughed when I heard it and changed it to "Ven a este paraiso" which means come to this paradise. No hay mejor means there is nothing better. The problem is that it can also be heard in English if not expecting Spanish as "no I'm a whore" Yes - that is how it is pronunced. Thus my lesson for writing in dual English and Spanish. Listen form each language individually before laying down any permanent vocal tracks! Kinda funny story :) OK here are the lyrics. I love this song it is great for dancing and one day I will be with a man that will take me to enjoy the paradise I sing and wrote about :) Thanks for listening! And Thank you Luis Peyron for the musical arrangement, composition and production.

"Here on the Playa"

Ven a este paraiso (come to this paradise)

Here on the playa South Puerto Vallarta, sun shines my troubles away
Music in the air flows heartbeat of the congos, no work all I do is play

Sea breeze against my face, it feels so good
Sunshine warms my escape
Right here I want to stay, think that you could
come and join me
Come and join me

And I never want to leave, so amazing
The joy that I perceive
Sweet darling come and see
I'm still waiting
Come and join me

Here on the playa drinking margaritas, passion afloat in the air
People come up to ya learn to dance the cumbia
No better place anywhere
And there's no way to explain the way I feel
There's nothing but today
Right here I want to stay nothing more real
Come and join me

Here on the playa drinking margaritas
Heartbeat of the congas learn to dance the cumbia
Here on the playa

And I never want to leave so amazing
Such beauty I perceive
Sweet darling come with me
I'll be waiting
Come and join me on this playa
Come and join me
