    I heared this song first in africa when I was like 8 years old. I didn't even know the meaning of the lyrics. I could barely speak english. I didn't even know there was something called spanish but I liked the beat, how the lyrics sounded. Everything about this song is perfect. I forgot about this song for like 8 years because now am 16 years old till I heared this song in the begining of the movie called hot bubblegum so I just remembered the beat of the song so I closed the movie right away and searched for the movies soundtrack till I saw la bamba then I downloaded the song and listened to it all night even while sleeping. When iwoke up I continued to listen to it then I searched for the lyrics and then started writing to you. I believed this one song has changed more lives than a hospital have.
