Sabela Maneiro, her sister Olaia Maneiro, and Aida Tarrío make up the group ‘Tanxugueiras’, which has brought Galician folk music to the Benidorm Fest. With more than three million views on YouTube, his song has become a musical phenomenon, whose motto is “there are no borders”.
The artists, three strong and brave women, have conquered the Benidorm Fest audience with a impressive staging, in which their spectacular voices have shone with lyrics in Galician, and have been accompanied by the sound of the ‘Tanxugueiras’ tambourines.
The name of the group is related to the “earth”. And it is that ‘Tanxugueira’ is a set of farms in Galicia. The term has been gaining popularity in recent months, to the point of becoming the word of 2021 in Galicia.
This is the translation of ‘Terra’ into Spanish
Ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la-ah
Ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la
Ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la
Ai-la-ra-la-la
Tonight there is a party, tonight there will be (Galician expression that refers to a festive night meeting)
I await you in the field, loyal companion
loyal companion, loyal companion
There’s a party tonight
To sing I come with the tambourine in hand
Scream with me, let them hear us scream
Scream with me, let them hear us scream
(with tambourine in hand)
Ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la-ah
Ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la
Ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la
there are no borders
You sing, I will sing, in the manner of our mothers
We will celebrate the life of the people who are dancing
Of the people who are dancing, of the people who are dancing
(With the way of our hands)
Ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la-ah
Ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la
Ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la

Here they come, here they come, here they come to stay
Those brave throats in the background sing
From deep to sing, from deep to sing
Here they come, here they come, they come to stay
They come to stay, they come to stay, they come to stay
They come to stay, they come to stay
They come to stay, to stay, to stay, to stay
They come to stay, they come to stay
They come to stay
Ai-la-ra-la-la, ai-la-ra-la-la-ah
