What's your favorite songs from him?As far as I remember I don't think there is one I dislike.I didn't here many, but they are great even the ones that aren't hits.He also had a unique voice."Come On, Let's Go" and "Ooh! My Head" didn't sound so high quality in a cool way.Don't know if that made sence.Donna is an awesome song.Too bad he died so young with Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper who I also like.

The three songs by Ritchie Valens are:

1. "La Bamba"
2. "Donna"
3. "Come On, Let's Go"

I also have the movie "La Bamba" on video with Lou Diamond Philips.

well "La Bamba" is a traditional latin dance. I wish I could trasilate the song for you.

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita
una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia y otra cosita
Ay, arriba y arriba
Ay, arriba y arriba y arriba ir
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, por ti ser
Por ti ser, por ti ser
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba

Para subir al cielo
Para subir al cielo se necesita
una escalera grande
Una escalera grande y otra chiquita
Ay, arriba y arriba
Ay, arriba y arriba y arriba ir
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitn
Soy capitn, soy capitn

(chorus)

Una vez que te dije
Una vez que te dije que eras bonita
Se te puso la cara
Se te puso la cara coloradita
Ay, arriba y arriba
Ay, arriba y arriba y arriba ir
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, por ti ser
Por ti ser, por ti ser

(chorus)

Muchos tocan la bamba
Muchos tocan la bamba, pero Los Dinos
le dan saborcito
Le dan saborcito, pero bonito
Ay, arriba y arriba
Ay, arriba y arriba y arriba ir
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitn
Soy capitn, soy capitn
