^ Very seductive and happy-sounding, Pepe!

I was struck by how many syllables and consonants the words have in the language she is singing, which gives the song an energetic, bouncy feel. (I also hear some gentler French words incorporated into the song.)

This made me think about how some languages may naturally be better suited for singing relaxing, languid songs, and other languages may be better suited for peppy, energetic songs.

Thanks for finding a song by a woman like you said you would!
