Eviva España
"Eviva España" (alternatively "Y Viva España" or "Que Viva España", or Short "Viva España") is a Dutch language pop song from Belgium, originally written by composer Leo Caerts and lyricist Leo Rozenstraten, first recorded and performed by the Belgian singer Samantha (born Christiane Bervoets) in 1971. Musically, the song has a distinctly Spanish-sounding pasodoble style to support the lyrics about anticipation of a holiday in Spain. Since, it is covered in many languages. While Spanish-sounding, the original song title (and chorus line) alliteration "Eviva España" does not make sense in Spanish. Although "España" is the correct name of the country in Spanish, there is no such word as "Eviva" in Spanish, but there is the Italian exclamation '' evviva!'', meaning "long live...", probably the meaning that the (non-Spanish-speaking) authors were aiming for, while dropping the double v.

Song
A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody (a series of distinct and fixed pitches) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs have a structure, such as the common ABA form, and are usually made of sections that are repeated or performed with variation later. A song without instruments is said to be a cappella. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in the classical tradition, it is called an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally by ear are often referred to as folk songs. Songs composed for the mass market, designed to be sung by professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows, are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appe ...
