Ay Ay Ay (song)
¡Ay, ay, ay!, subtitled Reminiscencias cuyanas, (1913) is a song by the Chilean composer Osmán Pérez Freire. The spelling Ay-Ay-Ay, though incorrect, is more common in English sources, for example as in the title of a 1963 album by Luigi Alva.[1] Although often mistakenly called a "Chilean" song, perhaps because of the place of birth of the composer, the style is in fact that of a traditional canción cuyana of the Argentine Cuyo region.[2]
Lyrics
Si alguna vez en tu pecho,
- ¡ay ay ay!
mi cariño no lo abrigas, engáñalo como un niño,
- ¡ay ay ay!
pero nunca se lo digas...

La frase es, en realidad, la misma de la tonada andina, un tanto desfigurada por mala memorización o quizá para mejor adaptarla al ritmo del estilo."
