I have no definite answer to this. But, listening to the tune, I've always thought it was a song written around the time of the holiday... not about the holiday. The lyrics suggest there was some question about whether Ramito had "sold out" to become an international star rather than a folk hero. This may have some connection to the New York show he took part in at the height of his career. I remember hearing about Christmas Parandas as a child. My father always said I was too young to participate in them. Parandas, in the US, are nearly non-existent but were once such a big part in remaining true to Boriquen roots on the 'mainland'. So an international star writing a song about his devotion to the island (around Christmas time) doesn't surprise me at all.
"quedo" means stay. The whole frase means "I will stay in Puerto Rico". Also, this song is not a Christmas Song, that is real, tradicional puertorican music and we hear it all year long, but in christmas time, this kind of music becomes more popular.
Yep
Christmas is very interesting in Puerto Rico. Christmas in Puerto Rico starts early on, for some people it starts right after Thanksgiving, which is the Advent or the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day. Christmas is Navidad in Puerto Rico. Caroling is popular in Puerto Rico a common religion is on January 5 in the evening, children leave water, grass and grain under their beds for the camels of the Wise Men and the next day find presents in their place.
Puerto Rico celebrates many of the same holidays as the U.S. Christmas in Puerto Rico is a very different experience and worth seeing.
Navidad (Christmas) Navidades (Christmas season) Feliz Navidad (Merry Christmas)
