Allegria is the debut studio album by the Gipsy Kings, released in 1982 in Europe.
This album and its successor, Luna de Fuego, are very different from their later albums. They are both "unplugged" and traditional, using solely guitars, voices, and hand claps. The album includes two songs never released on a U.S. album ("Pharaon" and "Recuerda") and the original acoustic version of "Djobi Djoba".
In 1990, the album was merged with Luna de Fuego, while omitting certain tracks for a re-release to a US audience as Allegria (US Version).
Allegria is a compilation album by the Gipsy Kings, released in 1990 for US audience. It is a merged album of the original Allegria album from 1982 and Luna de Fuego from 1983. The decision was also made to delete four tracks from the two European recordings, possibly to make the double recording fit onto one CD. The four songs which didn't make the cut were "Djobi Djoba", "Pharaon", "Recuerda", and "Gipsyrock".
Unlike the Gipsy Kings' other U.S. releases, Allegria has the same acoustic style as their first European albums.

Pena Penita (Pain Little Pain)
Yo vi llorar, yo vi llorar un gitano,
un gitano yo vi llorar de tristeza
por ti no me la hace hombre
que se ame, por ti llorar de tristeza
Va tirando por la calle
como un pobre vagabundo
que pena me da ese hombre
que se ame, por ti llorar de tristeza
*Pena penita, pena penita, pena penita
que yo lo siento yo
Pena penita, pena penita,
pena penita que yo lo siento yo
Yo vi llorar, yo vi llorar un gitano,
un gitano yo vi llorar de tristeza
por ti no me la hace hombre
que se ame, por ti llorar de tristeza
*(repeat)
**Pena penita que lo siento yo
Pena penita que lo siento yo
Pena penita que lo siento yo

I saw crying, I saw a gypsy crying
I saw a gypsy crying because of sadness
Because of you it doesn't make him a
man to love, for you crying because of sadness
He goes thrown in the street
like a poor vagabond
what pain that man gives me
that he loves, for you crying because of sadness
*Pain little pain, pain little pain, pain
little pain that I feel
Pain little pain, pain little pain, pain
little pain that I feel
I saw crying, I saw a gypsy crying
I saw a gypsy crying because of sadness
Because of you it doesn't make a
man to love, for you crying because of sadness
*(repeat)
**Pain little pain that I feel
Pain little pain that I feel
Pain little pain that I feel
