El Blues Del Taxista
El Tri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me la paso todo el dia rolando

me la paso todo el dia girando

taxeando por la gran ciudad

me la vivo de arriba a abajo

me la paso de lado a lado

taxeando por la gran ciudad

en mi taxi

la gota gorda

a diario tengo que sudar

y es que hay que andar a las vivas

porque los rateros

y los gandallas

siempre andan sobres

Me la paso todo el dia rolando

me la paso todo el dia girando

taxeando por la gran ciudad

me la vivo de arriba a abajo

me la paso de lado a lado

taxeando por la gran ciudad

en mi taxi

voy buscando pasaje

de dia y de noche

y es que a mi mi taxi

me da de comer

y me mantiene en el rol

Me la paso todo el dia rolando

me la paso todo el dia girando

taxeando por la gran ciudad

me la vivo de arriba a abajo

me la paso de lado a lado

taxeando por la gran ciudad

en mi taxi

con todo tipo de gente

tengo que lidiar

y si mi taxi

pudiera hablar

cuantas historias te podria contar

Me la paso todo el dia rolando

me la paso todo el dia girando

taxeando por la gran ciudad

me la vivo de arriba a abajo

me la paso de lado a lado

taxeando por la gran ciudad....

Overall Meaning

The song "El Blues Del Taxista" by the Mexican rock band El Tri highlights the life of a taxi driver in the big city. The lyrics describe the daily struggles of a driver who spends his entire day on the streets, picking up passengers and driving around the city. The driver's job is physically demanding as he sweats daily to make ends meet. He has to be alert at all times because the city streets are full of thieves and crooks who are always on the prowl. The driver encounters all sorts of passengers, with whom he has to deal with daily. Despite all the challenges, the driver is grateful for the job because it provides for his daily bread.


Furthermore, the repetitive chorus of "Me la paso todo el dia rolando, me la paso todo el dia girando," reinforces the idea that the driver's life is a never-ending cycle of driving and picking up passengers. It emphasizes the mundane life of a taxi driver who has to work long hours to earn his living. Despite this, he remains positive and takes his job seriously. Through the song, the band aims to provide a glimpse into the lives of hardworking taxi drivers who make the city function while highlighting the struggles they face daily.
