Esta historia me sorprendió, la verdad por no saber inglés nunca pude prestar atención a la letra de YMCA, sólo su ritmo pegajoso y al recordar su videoclip. entre broma y broma es inevitable intentar realizar la coreografía con las manos simulando cada letra.
Vayamos por parte. Village People es un grupo insignia del movimiento gay de los años setenta, aunque sólo dos de ellos eran homosexuales (el indio y el vaquero). Su nombre es en honor a Greenwich Village, una zona gay de Nueva York. En este grupo se representan seis estereotipos del ciudadano americano medio, el vaquero, el indio, el obrero de la construcción, el militar, el motociclista y el policía.
La Sigla de esta canción "YMCA" se refiere a "Young Men´s Christian Association (Asociación Jóvenes Cristianos). Esta es una asociación que pone en práctica los principios cristianos a través del cuerpo, la mente y el espíritu. Actualmente esta Asociación se encuentra en 119 países del mundo, incluso en Chile (www.ymca.cl)
Randy Jones, el vaquero del grupo, explica que al mudarse a Nueva York en 1975 se unió a esta agrupación Cristiana y llevó a Jacques Moralis, compositor del grupo, tres o cuatro veces en 1977 y le encantó, ya que era un lugar en el que se podía levantar pesas , jugar al baloncesto, nadar, recibir clases y alquilar una habitación.
Al faltar una canción para el tercer álbum, se compone este tema en honor a esta agrupación. En ella no hay ninguna referencia homosexual e increíblemente se transformó en un himno gay. Este tema es sólo un anuncio para invitarnos a ser parte de Young Men´s Christian Association.

Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, because you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy

Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there
And I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time

Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams
But you got to know this one thing:
No man does it all by himself

And just go there, to the YMCA
I'm sure they can help you today

Young man, I was once in your shoes
I said, I was down and out with the blues
I felt no man cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so tight
I said, I was down and out with the blues
I felt no man cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so tight
That's when someone came up to me
And said, young man, take a walk up the street
There's a place there called the YMCA
They can start you back on your way
