Gypsy Kings + Question for you better in Spanish than moé

So, I've just reminded myself of how much the Gypsy Kings were absolutely amazing when I used to yanked the cassette from mum and put it in the cassette player of our old car all the time. Just made my day back in Elementary. Plus, I am reminded somehow of all the evenings after dad would pick me up from Afterschool when we'd take 14th St all the way to down to 9th Ave and went to Gulf Canada Sq. to pick up mom from work.

One of the best spanish groups out there.

Hooray for Limewire...!


For those going "Why does that sound familiar?", you've all likely heard this song: Bambaleo ("Bamboleo, bambolea/ Por que mi vide, yo la prefiero vivir asi") Dad says it means to swing and I've very much taken a guess on the words sung in the chorus past Bamboleo, bambolea.

With my limited spanish, here's a questions for all you Spanophiles,

Is yo la prefiero vivir asi the same as 'je preferiais le vivre ainsi/comme-ci'...ish? It's maybe waaay off but vivir asi reminded me of vivre ainsi *shrugs*.

Hm. Time to deal with the insane Social project =O

PS. I am 18 1/2 yrs old as of yesterday :D

As far as I can tell, "Por que mi vide, yo la prefiero vivir asi" means "For my life, I prefer to live it like this". I'm not 100% sure that's right, but it's probably close.
