A comarca (Spanish: [koˈmarka], Portuguese: [kuˈmaɾkɐ] or [koˈmaʁkɐ], Galician: [koˈmaɾka] pl. comarcas; Catalan: [kuˈmarkə] or [koˈmaɾka], pl. comarques) is a traditional region or local administrative division found in parts of Spain, Portugal, Panama, Nicaragua, and Brazil. The term is derived from the term marca, meaning a "march, mark", plus the prefix co- meaning "together, jointly".
The comarca is known in Aragonese as redolada (IPA: [reðoˈlaða]) and in Basque as eskualde (IPA: [es̺kualde]). In addition, in Galician comarcas are also called bisbarras (IPA: [bizˈβaras]).
The term comarca is used in several regions of the Iberian Peninsula.
In other places, such as Extremadura, the comarca may be simply a loosely-defined region.
Because of the comarca's long-standing use, it is sometimes used as the basis for the promotion of tourism, with emphasis on local cultural tradition and history.
In Panama, the comarca indígena is an administrative region for an area with a substantial Indian population. Three comarcas (Comarca Emberá-Wounaan, Kuna Yala, Ngöbe-Buglé) exist as equivalent to a province, with two smaller comarcas (Kuna de Madugandí and Kuna de Wargandí) subordinate to a province and considered equivalent to a corregimiento (municipality).
I can spend the whole day listening to the radio
Any radio station playing Rock n' Roll
I don't care whether it's acid, hard or punk
Gimme Rock
When it comes to Rock I never get enough
Make it higher, louder turn the volume up
The only kind of music that I want to hear
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock
Let that fire burn in my soul!
I can see why all the girls go wild and crazy
Why does everybody think they're just plain lazy?
Turn their tears to laughter watch them as they smile
Gimme Rock
I can tune the world out wearing' my headphones
Just as long as I have Rock I'm never alone
Play it from the top again, please don't let it stop
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock
Let that fire burn in my soul!
Just by turning' the dial
I know every band in style
Love songs are fine for some
But for me Rock will always be #1!
I can spend the whole day listening to the radio
Any radio station playing Rock n' Roll
I don't care whether it's acid, hard or punk
