El Bombon

Julión Álvarez y Su Norteño Banda's 'El Bombon' is a vibrant and rhythmic song that celebrates the joy of dance and the allure of a captivating dancer. The lyrics describe a scene where a woman, referred to as 'la negra,' starts to dance in a way that is likened to a blender, suggesting a vigorous and mesmerizing movement of her hips. The repeated phrase 'Y es que llego el bombon' translates to 'And it's because the bombon has arrived,' with 'bombon' meaning 'sweet' or 'candy,' which in this context likely refers to the woman as a sweet treat or a delightful presence that has graced the dance floor.

The chorus, with its simple lines 'Bailando bailando / Llego el bombon' and 'Gosando gosando / Llego el bombon,' emphasizes the themes of dancing and enjoying oneself. The repetition of these lines creates a catchy and infectious rhythm that invites listeners to join in the celebration. The song's structure, with its repetitive and upbeat nature, is typical of Norteño music, a genre known for its lively beats and accordion-led melodies, which is a staple of Julión Álvarez y Su Norteño Banda's musical style.

The latter part of the song introduces the idea that the 'bombon' brings a 'ritmo sabroson' (tasty rhythm) that is danced with passion and 'alimenta el corazon' (feeds the heart). This suggests that the music and dance are not just for physical enjoyment but also provide emotional nourishment. The phrase 'Auque sea despacito / Para todos el bombon' implies that the dance can be enjoyed slowly and is meant for everyone, highlighting the inclusive nature of the music and the communal experience it fosters.
