Lágrimas De Cocodrilo
Autopista Sur Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Despertó en su habitación
Con humor distinto, con un mal sabor

Sus lágrimas de cocodrilo
Cruzan montañas de mejillas
Sus lágrimas de cocodrilo
Se van al mar
Ay, mi niña, gracias a Dios
Ese diablo blanco desapareció

Sus lágrimas de cocodrilo
Cruzan montañas de mejillas
Sus lágrimas de cocodrilo
Se van al mar

Sus lágrimas de cocodrilo
Cruzan montañas de mejillas




Sus lágrimas de cocodrilo
Se van al mar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Autopista Sur's song "Lagrimas de Cocodrilo" tell a story of a person who wakes up feeling different and with a bad taste in their mouth. They shed tears like a crocodile, which cross mountains of cheeks and flow into the sea. The person seems to be relieved that a "white devil" has disappeared, and the tears of a crocodile continue to flow.


The use of the metaphor of a crocodile's tears is striking because it refers to the idea that crocodiles shed tears while they eat, but not because they are sad like humans. This use of the metaphor reflects the idea that the person is crying, but because they are not genuinely sad, their tears are compared to those of a crocodile.


The lyrics could be interpreted as a warning about the dangers of insincerity and inauthenticity. The tears of the person are false and manipulative, just like a crocodile's tears. In the end, their tears will flow into the sea, be forgotten, and leave no lasting impact.
