Have you ever heard the word amorphous? It sounds quite peculiar, and you should know that it is a literary term associated with the theme of the verses.
Below we will delve a little into what amorphous are, what their characteristics are and we will give you some examples so that you better understand what we are talking about..
Amorphine are compositions in verses of popular origin that originated in Manabí Ecuador, the coast of Manta. They are sung or recited and sometimes danced.
They are a variant of the verses brought from Spain, but these focus especially on love and its effects that are mixed with humor. They were also used to give advice, warnings, sing to the homeland and the customs of the people.
After its birth in Ecuador, amorphines became popular in other Latin American countries, although little is known now because they have fallen into disuse..
They were used and are still used in traditional festivals, weddings, family and patron saint festivities, being especially popular in the old Fiestas de los Montuvios.
Although the amorphous are part of the oral tradition of the peoples, especially the Mantuvios, where they were born, some amorphous writings have been compiled as a record of these poetic forms..
Those who sing them tend to improvise, although they can take some of these traditional and popularized amorphous in writing as a template to which they make variations according to the occasion.
1. If I sing the amorphous,
I don't do it as a hobby:
I do it because I am Montuvio
and I carry it in my heart.
As you can see, it is a way of enhancing the popular tradition of a culture.
two. Now you are very proud
With your beautiful cell phone
Peek below
To give you to drink.
They have similarity with the verses and the trovas from the provocative tone.
3. The girls around here,
they do not allow themselves to be kissed;
instead the ones over there
they even stretch their necks.
The use of common words is very common, because as we mentioned earlier, they are poetic forms used in popular settings..
4. I'm not from around here
I'm from Cabito de Hacha
I don't come for the old women
but for the girls.
Mentioning places, landscapes, common points is a stylistic resource with which they achieve closeness with the listeners.
5. When I pass by your house,
I buy bread and I eat,
so your mom won't say.
I'm dying of hunger.
The humorous tone is a way to connect with the ways of life that exist within the culture, and to make fun of everyday situations.
6. In my backyard,
I have a cherry bush:
each branch is a hug
and every cherry kisses.
The flirty tone is also ideal, considering that they are used to seduce or to use as compliments..
7. When I was little
They all wanted to kiss me
Now that i'm grown up
Nor asking they want to give.
Amorphines are also used to relate life situations in a mocking tone, so that many people feel identified. That is why it is usual for those who make them to make fun of themselves.
8. Yesterday I passed by your house,
you threw me a lemon;
the lemon fell on the ground,
and the juice in my heart.
These types of verses transcend the borders of the places in which they are commonly used, and it is normal to find people in their daily lives using some of them..
9. What a nice new house,
in someone else's possession,
the girl inside,
is the owner of my heart.
Normally in the shows where amorphous are used, this type of verses are recited pointing to one of those present or to some place to make the matter more fun.
10. When i passed your house,
I have to hit you a whistle;
if your mom asks you,
tell him it's a bird.
In some Latin American cultures, the fact that fathers and mothers oppose the romances of their daughters is deeply rooted.
eleven. I would like, but I can't,
make a house in the air,
to live in the world
and not pension anyone.
The type of rhythmic structure of the amorphines make them easy to remember and keep in memory..
12. The verse of amorfino,
accommodates as you like:
for me the tail is chest
and the hip spine.
This amorphous reveals, for example, the use of words that are part of the regionalisms of the area. This use is very popular in that type of composition.
13. I'm not from here
I am from Santa Lucia;
the face you see me today,
they don't see me every day.
The differentiating use of zones is also very common, taking into account that populations have a great sense of belonging to the territory.
14. Up there, on that hill,
there is a pregnant sow
every time I go up and down,
he looks like my sister-in-law.
Direct mockery of other people is a very common style, and that is why perhaps they are forms that fall into disuse, due to the disrespect that this can represent for others..
fifteen. Up there, on that hill,
I have a gold box
where do I keep my sighs
and the tears that I cry.
As can be seen in contrast to the previous stanza, there are verses that function as formulas and are used frequently.
16. The women of this time,
they are like rotten lemon:
they are barely fifteen years old,
they already think about the husband.
This stanza is a sample that the verse beyond having a stylistic use of language, or a sense between the verses, privileges rhyme.
17. The girls of this time,
They are like the naranjilla:
They don't settle for one,
but with the whole gang.
These types of stanzas also seek to narrate the social characteristics of the culture where they are born..
18. The youngsters of today,
so good and so simple,
where do you see them
they don't even have underpants.
The spicy tone is part of the popular humor of many Hispanic cultures and this is something that is taken advantage of in amorfinos.
19. The youth of my town
they already want to be married,
only pear to eat
rich roasted guinea pigs.
Through the study of amorphines, pictures of customs of the regions can be traced.
twenty. The sexton of the parish,
ring the bell
so that the fight is over
of my wife and my sister.
This type of stanza had its greatest period of splendor in the 20th century.
twenty-one. Saint Peter had a girlfriend,
Saint Paul took it from him:
if that's how the saints were
Why shouldn't I be?
Even though Ecuador is a region that stands out for its roots in religion, not even religious traditions are spared from entering the amorphous.
22. Here comes Jesus Christ
jumping off the walls;
Jesus Christ for men
and the devil for women.
If you are familiar with classic verses and rhyme, you may have noticed that many of these verses do not respect the structure of 8 or fewer verses.
2. 3. God made Adam,
to your liking and likeness
how Adam was sad
gave Eva without delay.
Telling universal history is also a way of nurturing these types of stanzas, because the main idea is that people have prior knowledge of the issues that are being raised.
24. This street up,
I'm going to send stone,
for your mother-in-law to come by
dressed in military.
This is an example of a stanza with eight syllable verses, preserving the structural rules.
25. Yesterday I passed by your house,
you were eating rooster;
your teeth were ringing,
like horse bridles.
The birth of the amorphous are part of rural areas and that is why they portray elements that allude to life in the countryside.

26. Windows to the street,
they are dangerous thing:
at least for the parents
who have beautiful daughters.
When these couplets are read, many of the stories told by grandparents and great-grandparents in Latin America can be identified..
27. When climbing your stairs
I broke a step,
too bad I'm already dying,
temptation face.
The fact of being transmitted by traditional oral means that there is very little documentation on amorphines.
28. Damn the old house!
that does not have cockroaches
to fool the old woman,
and take the girls.
However, it should be noted that when traveling between towns, many of the verses that were sung more than 100 years ago survive today..
29. Last night I went to see you,
above the roof,
your mom came out and told me
through the door wretch!
This type of verse in many cases was repudiated by the upper class for being considered popular and vulgar..
30. Up there, on that hill,
there is a plant of lentils
where the mountains pass
flapping ears.
The use of these language games or creative writing are ideal to improve oral and creative skills.
31. The youth of this time,
they are pure fantasy,
put their hand in their pocket
and they always take it out empty.
Generation gaps are also seen in amorphous like this, and the prejudices that the new generations have no skills at all.

they are like straw pulls out,
they hardly give for rice
and they do not give for the butter.
