Es por ti
Barrafija Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tenйis un problema.
Se os ha embozado el vбter
Y se estб viendo la mierda.
Seсores del congreso
Tenemos soluciones.
Saldremos a la calle
Y es por ti. (x2)
Puede que parezca algo borracho,
Pero es que cojeo al caminar.
Ayer hubo protesta
Y de recompensa,
Una carga policial
Dicen que si es por las drogas.
Me acusan de eficiente estado mental.
Que vea injusto el desalojo,
Que me joda ver matar
Por el bienestar
Dime quien es el que manda
Que voy a romperle la cara.
Dime quien es el que dice:
Aquн mando yo.
Porque hoy me voy a levantar. (x3)
Pporque hoy me pienso levantar.
Dicen que la libertad
Esta en la seguridad,
їY quiйn nos asegura
Que no es por conquistar?
Si en la calle con la voz,
Desde arriba la violencia
їDe quй vale la palabra
Cuando una porra la revienta(
Porque hoy quieren desalojar. (x3)
Porque hoy piensan desalojar
Porque hoy me voy a levantar
Quizб para luchar.
Porque hoy me voy a levantar
Quizб para molestar.
The lyrics to Barrafija's song "Es por ti" are politically charged and critical of the government. The song begins with addressing the Congress and their problem of a clogged toilet, which has caused their mess to be exposed. The chorus repeats "y es por ti" (and it's for you), implying that their actions are for the betterment of society and those affected by government actions.
The next verse includes accusations against the singer, potentially from the government, claiming that he is advocating for drugs and has a mental deficiency due to his opposition to police brutality and forced evictions. The singer then calls out those in power, wanting to know who is making decisions and asserting that he will confront them.
The chorus changes slightly in the last repetition, stating "porque hoy quieren desalojar" (because today they want to evict), displaying the urgency and importance of the issues at hand. The song ends with a call to action, with the singer saying he will stand up and fight, potentially causing disruption in order to be heard and create change.
Overall, the song is a powerful and passionate critique of societal and political issues, encouraging action against those in power and for the betterment of the community.
