Andrea Rocha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se llama Rodrigo y es un mujeriego
Me dice que me quiere conocer
Pero sé que él no más quiere co...
Allá hay un niño y no es muy lindo
Don′t even try, don't, don′t even try
So baby, don't even try
Don′t even try, don′t, don't even try
(I′ve got nothing else to say)
Qué diría tu mamá
Si supiera lo que pasa en tu cerebro
Te pones hasta atrás
Y se te olvida lo que es ser caballero
Que te quede clarito a ti
Yo no te quiero, te quiero no
Qué diría tu mamá
Si supiera lo que pasa en tu cerebro
Me dices niña linda cinco veces
No te respondo y te pones leve
Me dices que me quieres respetar
Pero tú ni sabes cómo empezar
You'll take me all the way if I let you
Don′t even try, don't, don′t even try
You won't be coming on tonight
So baby, don't even try
Don′t even try, don′t, don't even try
(I′ve got nothing else to say)
Qué diría tu mamá
Si supera lo que pasa en tu cerebro
Te pones hasta atrás
Y se te olvida lo que es ser caballero
Que te quede clarito a ti
Yo no te quiero, te quiero no
Qué diría tu mamá
Si supera lo que pasa en tu cerebro
Qué diría tu mamá
Si supera lo que pasa en tu cerebro
The song "Cerebro" by Andrea Rocha tells the story of a girl who is pursued by a boy named Rodrigo, who comes from a wealthy family and is a known womanizer. Rodrigo expresses an interest in getting to know the girl, but she understands that all he really wants is sex. She is unimpressed by his physical appearance and his attempts to charm her with words, knowing that he is not sincere in his intentions.
The chorus of the song repeatedly asks "What would your mother say if she knew what was going on in your brain?" and emphasizes the theme of Rodrigo's lack of respect for women and his inability to behave like a "gentleman". The girl, on the other hand, makes it clear that she does not want him and is not interested in pursuing anything with him.
Overall, the lyrics of "Cerebro" explore the themes of power dynamics, gender roles, and societal expectations. The girl is expected to be pure and virtuous, while the boy is given the freedom to behave recklessly and disrespectfully. By calling attention to this double standard, the song challenges traditional notions of masculinity and femininity.
