Interesting facts and trivia about Primavera. By Songfacts®.

This Spanish-language song is about nature and renewal. "Primavera" means "spring," and the chorus translates to "As the seed brings new life there is a new age this spring."

Running 6:17, "Primavera" was produced by K.C. Porter, who also sang lead on the track. Porter worked on some songs for Ricky Martin as well, including his hit "Maria." He co-wrote "Primavera" with J.B. Eckl and Chein Garcia Alonso, who is credited for the Spanish translation. Fher (Fernando Olvera) from the Mexican rock group Mana is one of the background singers.

"Primavera" is one of a handful of Spanish-language songs on the Supernatural album, which is filled with high-profile guests. The hit songs from the album are all in English, but the two blockbusters, "Smooth" and "Maria Maria," each include a few words in Spanish. The hit songs wrap Carlos Santana's guitar in a modern production, a formula that proved very successful as the album sold tens of millions around the world and dominated the Grammy Awards. "Primavera" harkens back to Santana's roots, appealing to fans of the group's earlier work.
