Papi no me peguen por que soy chiquito.
desquiten su coraje con otra persona.
Mami no me pegues porque soy chiquito,
Papi no me pegues porque estoy chiquito,
si abusan de su fuerza los va a castigar Dios,
si abusan de su fuerza los va a castigar Dios.
Yo no tengo la culpa,
de haber nacido rebelde,
eso me vino en la sangre que tú me heredaste.
Siempre he sido travieso,
y me gusta el relajo,
apuesto a que de niño tu fuiste mas canijo.
Mami no me pegues porque soy chiquito,
Papi no me pegues porque estoy chiquito,
desquita tu coraje con otra persona,
porque si abusas de tu fuerza te va a castigar Dios.
Yo no tengo la culpa,
de haber nacido rebelde,
eso me vino en la sangre que tú me heredaste.
Siempre he sido travieso,
y me gusta el relajo,
apuesto a que de niño tu fuiste mas canijo.
Yo no tengo la culpa,
de haber nacido rebelde,
eso me vino en la sangre que tú me heredaste.
Siempre he sido travieso,
y me gusta el relajo,
apuesto a que de niño tu fuiste mas canijo.
Papi no me pegues porque soy chiquito.
The song Canción de cuna by Alex Lora is a plea from a child to his parents to stop physically abusing him due to his rebellious nature. The child feels that his parents' anger and frustration should be taken out on someone else, not on him for being small and unable to defend himself. He warns his parents that if they continue to abuse their strength, they will be punished by God. The child acknowledges that his rebellion is in his blood, inherited from his parents, and claims that they cannot blame him for it. He admits to being mischievous and enjoying mischief, just like his parents were undoubtedly as children.
The song addresses the issue of domestic violence and child abuse, shedding light on the damaging effects it can have on a child's psyche. It also shows the generational cycle of behavior and how children inherit certain traits and habits from their parents. The song encourages parents to seek alternative ways to manage their anger and frustration rather than taking it out on their children.
