Texto: Discutiendo Están Dos Mozos
Alberto Cortez y Facundo Cabral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Si a la fiesta del lugar
Irán por la carretera
O campo traviesa irán.
Discutiendo y disputando
Empiezan a pelear.
Ya con las trancas de pino
Ya se tiran de las barbas,
Ya se las quieren pelar.
Ha pasado un carretero,
Que va cantando un cantar:
"Romero, para ir a Roma,
Lo que importa es caminar;
A Roma por todas partes,
Por todas partes se va".
The song "Discutiendo Están Dos Mozos" by Alberto Cortez y Facundo Cabral depicts an argument between two young men about the best route to take to reach a local celebration. The men are debating whether to take the main road or to cut across the fields to get there. However, their discussion escalates into a heated argument, resulting in physical violence where they start hitting each other with pine sticks and pulling each other's beards.
As they fight, a cart driver passes by singing a song about the importance of walking to reach Rome, as the city can be reached from all directions. The lyrics suggest that the two young men are foolish for fighting over such a petty matter when there are more important things in life to worry about. The song seems to be a commentary on the importance of peaceful resolution and communication to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
The song also highlights the prevalence of violence in society and how disagreements can quickly escalate into physical altercations. It serves as a reminder of the need for individuals to control their anger and seek peaceful solutions to problems, rather than resorting to violence.
