Lectern
A lectern (from the Latin lectus, past participle of legere, "to read") is a reading desk, with a slanted top, usually placed on a stand or affixed to some other form of support, on which documents or books are placed as support for reading aloud, as in a scripture reading, lecture, or sermon. To facilitate eye-contact and improve posture when facing an audience, lecterns may have adjustable height and slant. People generally use lecterns while standing.
In pre-modern usage, the word lectern was used to refer specifically to the "reading desk or stand ... from which the Scripture lessons (lectiones) ... are chanted or read." One 1905 dictionary states that "the term is properly applied only to the class mentioned [church book stands] as independent of the pulpit." By the 1920s, however, the term was being used in a broader sense, for example, in reference to a memorial service in Carnegie Hall, it was stated that "the lectern from which the speakers talked was enveloped in black."

La Caderona
by: CabasDe nuevo te siento cerca
Mis ganas se alborotan
Me provocas con tu cumbia
Me embriagas de tu aroma
Cuidado, entrale con cautela
Me como una serpiente
Atrapada por la cola
Ya volvio
Volvio la caderona
Bailo y movio todo
Mi interior caderona
Ya volvio
Volvio la caderona
Volvio y lleno de cumbia todo
Mi interior caderona
De belleza estas tan llena
Que se derraman tus formas
Yo me entrego a tu batalla
Me abandono entre tu boca
Cuidado, me dicen la cabeza
Esa es una serpiente
Atrapada por la cola
Ya volvio
Volvio la caderona
Bailo y movio todo

Luna llena
Las bestias se alvorotan
El mundo se prepara
Porque ella con esa cumbia se vuelve loca

Volvio la caderona)
