Today, while enjoying the outdoors for a bit (read: doing yard work), the word “cucubano” came to mind, and with it a song (of the same name) popularized by Tony Croatto (and, if I’m not mistaken, covered by Menudo as well). In case you’re wondering what a cucubano is, the wiki entry (found here) sheds some light, and the blog “Speaking Boricua” has a short and sweet explanation on Tony Croatto here.
I always thought cucubanos were fireflies. It appears I was wrong about that. Anyway, today’s CSED was inspired by the song’s title and part of the lyrics, which translate as follows:
I am a star of the night
in the mountains as well as the plains
Enjoy! As always, your thoughts and feedback are most welcome.

I can almost hear the song!!!!
But is it the Tony Croatto version, or the Menudo (which I wasn’t aware of, but seems to pop up higher on Google searches) version?
