Nos Siguen Pegando Abajo
Charly García Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y lo que están haciendo es un pecado mortal
Ella se quedó sin boda ni arroz
Y al novio lo agarraron entre muchos más que dos
Miren lo están golpeando todo el tiempo
Lo vuelven vuelven a golpear
Nos siguen pegando abajo
Yo estaba en un club
No había casi luz
La puerta de salida tenía un farolito azul
El se desmayó delante de mí
No fueron las pastillas fueron los hombres de gris
Miren lo están golpeando todo el tiempo
Lo vuelven vuelven a golpear
Nos siguen pegando abajo
Estoy yendome
Soy como una luz apagándose
Desde el piso los pude ver
Locos de placer alejándose
Miren lo están golpeando todo el tiempo
Lo vuelven vuelven a golpear
Nos siguen pegando abajo
The lyrics of Charly García's song "Nos Siguen Pegando Abajo" describe a society that punishes young couples who violate traditional norms. The couple in the song are depicted as being "unequal," with the girl being younger than the boy, and what they are doing is considered a "mortal sin." As a result, the girl is left without a marriage or any prospects, while the boy is caught and beaten by several men.
The song, however, is not just about the couple in the story. It is a metaphor for the oppression and violence that exist in society, particularly against those who are different or who don't conform to traditional societal norms. The repeated line "nos siguen pegando abajo" (they keep beating us down) is a call to action for society to recognize and fight against this oppression.
The second half of the song shifts to a personal experience of the singer, who witnessed a man being beaten by police. The use of the color blue and the image of a "farolito" (little lantern) adds to the surreal feeling of the scene. The singer's sense of helplessness and impending doom is further emphasized by the metaphor of a "light" slowly fading away.
Overall, "Nos Siguen Pegando Abajo" is a powerful social commentary on the violence and oppression that exist in society, particularly against those who are seen as different or who do not conform to traditional norms.
