ORIGIN OF Domingo 7
The origin of the phrase “Domingo 7” has its origin in two popular stories.

The other version also follows the same song, but in this case it is about a group of peasants who were singing merrily, but a couple of friends get into the song exclaiming Sunday 7 and the peasants give them such a big beating that the rumor spread quickly in the localities and this pair of reckless ones were called “Domingo 7”.
