El regalito
Alejandro Durán Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A pensar que tan pobre soy
Que mucho dinero podrá tener,
Pero nunca te da lo que yo te doy.
Ay! no pierdas la idea,
Porque es verdad
Te llevo en avión a Bogotá
Te llevo en avión a Montería
Y si quieres también podemos ir,
A la luna de miel a Medellín (bis
De Cartagena te traigo yo,
El medallón que usaba un pirata
Que Blas de Leso se lo robó
Para regalárselo a sus muchachas.
Ay! no pierdas la idea, porque es verdad
Te llevo en avión a Bogotá...
Ay! no pierdas la idea, Rosa María
Te llevo en avión a Montería
Y si quieres también podemos ir,
A la luna de miel a Medellín (bis
The lyrics of Alejandro Durán's song El regalito revolve around a man who wants to impress and win over a woman named Rosa María. He promises her all kinds of luxurious gifts, from taking her on a private plane to various cities like Bogotá, Montería, and even Medellín for their honeymoon, to exclusive items like a medallion stolen from a pirate. He emphasizes that even though he might not be rich, he can provide her with things that are more valuable than money, things like love and attention.
The song speaks to the theme of love and romantic gestures, but with a touch of humor and sarcasm. The man's promises are wild and exaggerated, and it's unclear whether he can deliver them or not. The repeated line of "ay! no pierdas la idea" acts as a kind of refrain, urging Rosa María to believe him and not lose faith in his intentions.
