Latinas Support Barack Obama. The views of Latinas towards Hillary Clinton are set to an old huapango Mexican Folk Song. Chica Obama le insiste a La Bruja--'Ya basta, deja a Barack Obama!' La Bruja (The Witch): Ay que bonito es volar A las dos de la mañana A las dos de la mañana Y ay que bonito es volar, ay mama Volar y dejarse caer En los brazos de tu hermana En los brazos de tu hermana Y hasta quisiera llorar Me agarra la bruja, Me lleva al cuartel, Me vuelve maceta, Me da de comer Me agarra la bruja, Me lleva al cerrito, Me sienta en sus piernas, Me da de besitos. ¿Ay dígame ay dígame ay dígame usted Cuantas creaturitas se ha chupado usted? Ninguna, ninguna, ninguna no ve Que ando en pretensions de chuparme a usted Y ahora sí maldita bruja Ya te chupastes a mi hijo Ya te chupastes a mi hijo Y ahora sí maldita bruja Y ahora le vas a chupar Y a tu marido el ombligo Y a tu marido el ombligo Y ahora le vas a chupar Me agarra la bruja, Me lleva a su casa, Me vuelve maceta, Y una calabasa Me agarra la bruja, Me lleve al cerrito, Me sienta en sus piernas, Me da de besitos. ¿Ay dígame ay dígame ay dígame usted Cuantas criaturitas se ha chupado usted? Ninguna, ninguna, ninguna no ve, Que ando en pretensiones de chuparme a usted! "La Bruja" is "The Witch." Taken literally, the title clearly applies to Hillary especially in the eyes of Latinas. The lyrics have a deeper meaning. In fact, this is a song that Hillary may have dedicated to Bill. This song was used in the soundrack to "Frida" with Salma Hayek. Salma sings the first part. Here's an analysis of the lyrics posted by dsandy on filmtracks.com: "In the first verse the song talks about [the flight of the witch. 'Oh how beautiful it is to fly at 2 am...' This could also be taken to mean the flight of a man away from his home in the middle of the night. The witch's flight] is a metaphorical way to say that a little itch came in the night. The second verse says that the [witch falls into the arms of a sister and wants to cry. This verse implies the sisterhood between the witch that haunts the man and the man's wife or home.] In other words, [the witch's flight can be ] a fantasy about a woman. The third verse, where everyone is having trouble, is idiomatic and can't be translated literally. Literally it means that the dreamer clings to the witch that returns with the flowerpot for him to eat. Suffice it to say that "maceta," is a metaphorical term for the female body. So the sexual fantasy comes back. The fourth verse means the witch brings the hills (metaphorically speaking "hills" would be breasts) that "stir his loins," "me sienta en sus piernas." And she brings him kisses. The chorus asks, how many creatures the witch has sucked on. She answers insincerely, "none but you." The next verse says, and now you damn witch you've sucked on my son. "Ombligo" does mean belly button or navel, but it also means "the center." "Marido el ombligo" metaphorically means the male center. "Y a tu marido el ombligo / Y ahora le vas a chupar" = "And on the male center / now you are going to suck." (In legend "la bruja" or the witch comes at 2 a.m., turns into some sort of animal, and attacks [usually babies or little kids]. She can also come during the vernal equinox and give men a fatal elixir that sends their souls into an eternal hell. She IS also a succubus figure [not suck youbus] that sends bad dreams, but she can also be vampire-like and drain the blood of her victims, hence the sucking. La Bruja also means "bitch.") The following verse is a little twist because it says that the singer clings to the witch that brought him "maceta" and "calabasa." Calabasa here means, not pumpkin, but squash, a metaphorical term for swollen male pieces parts. So when Frida sings this to Diego, she is singing about the eternal urges that cause him to cheat on her with brujas, witches or biatches, who tempt him in the night. The song is really about how obsessing about sex can cause a man to lose himself, but in the movie the chorus obviously refers to Diego forgetting about Frida."
