In its Spanish title this song is (almost) guaranteed to make the sun shine - it means when the sun heats up! It's a popular Spanish song with music by Nicaraguan songwriter and bandleader Rafael Gaston Perez, with lyrics by Carlos and Mario Rigual and an English version (not a translation) by Sunny Skylar. Los Hermanos Rigaul recorded the song and it become a number 1 hit in Italy for 4 weeks.

The 12/8 time signature gives the song a lilting quality and the repeated notes drive home the passion of the lyrics. In this arrangement, the Spanish words can be sung on the repeated or used throughout the song, and there are some extra harmony notes in the 3rd voice in the final verse to give the sound more weight.
