The Ketchup Song
Las Ketchup Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A la vuelta de la esquina
Viene Diego rumbeando
Con la luna en la pupila
Y en su traje agua marina
Van restos de contrabando
Y donde más no cabe un alma
Allí se mete a darse caña
Poseído por el ritmo ragatanga
Y el DJ que lo conoce
Toca el himno de las doce
Para Diego la cancion más deseada
Y la baila, y la goza y la canta
Aserejé, ja, dejé
Dejebe tu dejebere seibiunouva
Majavi an de bugui an de buididipi
Aserejé, ja, dejé
Dejebe tu dejebere seibiunouva
Majavi an de bugui an de buididipi
Aserejé, ja, dejé
Dejebe tu dejebere seibiunouva
Majavi an de bugui an de buididipi
No es cosa de brujería
Que lo encuentre 'tos los días
Por donde voy caminando
Diego tiene chulería
Y ese punto de alegría
Rastafari afrogitano
Y donde más no cabe un alma
Allí se mete y se da caña
Poseído por el ritmo ragatanga
Y el DJ que lo conoce
Toca el himno de las doce
Para Diego la cancion más deseada
Y la baila, y la goza y la canta
Aserejé, ja, dejé
Dejebe tu dejebere seibiunouva
Majavi an de bugui an de buididipi
Aserejé, ja, dejé
Dejebe tu dejebere seibiunouva
Majavi an de bugui an de buididipi
Aserejé, ja, dejé
Dejebe tu dejebere seibiunouva
Majavi an de bugui an de buididipi

The lyrics to Las Ketchup's "The Ketchup Song" describe a man named Diego who is "rumbering" and dancing to the rhythm of "ragatanga." The song describes Diego's carefree and joyful spirit as he dances and enjoys life. The repeated chorus of "aserejé, ja deje tejebe tude jebere sebiunouba" is a made-up phrase that adds to the fun and upbeat nature of the song.
The song's title is a play on the group's name, "Ketchup," and the chorus contains a nonsensical phrase that became an international phenomenon. The song's upbeat and joyous melody has made it a party favorite, while the catchy chorus has made it a staple at sporting events.
"The Ketchup Song" was a commercial success, topping charts in over 20 countries, including the UK, France, and Germany. It also broke the record for the longest-running number one song on the Spanish charts.
Interestingly, the song's melody and chorus were inspired by a Portuguese folk song titled "Rapunzel." The band heard the song while on tour in Portugal and decided to incorporate it into their own music.
Overall, "The Ketchup Song" is a fun and upbeat song about dancing, joy, and enjoying life to the fullest.
