Hasta la Vista (MC Solaar song)

Lyrics and music

The song, composed by Alain J, Eric K-Roz, Claude M'Barali and Kurser, was also recorded in Spanish-language, which also features on the CD and the vinyl.

The song contains many puns as well as numerous latino components, such as the Spanish guitar played by the italo french performer Miro, the name of the song and the first verse in Spanish-language, the "atmosphere and the passionate singings of the refrain" performed by Moïra Conrath.
