Cria Cuervos
Boikot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Desde antaño se abren paso
Frustraciones de un Neandertal
Cerebritos que no han roto
Su cordón umbilical
Hoy se vierten las excusas como intrusas
Con desidia cerebral
No me valen los alardes más cobardes
De unos perros sin bozal
Gira, gira, gira, gira Como una peonza
Gira, gira, gira, gira Como una peonza

Cría cuervos, cría cuervos
Que ya te sacarán los ojos

Ignorancia que se teje
En las redes del capital
Materia gris que se duerme
En los vahos tras un cristal
Son racismos que levantan y delatan
Un complejo de inferioridad
Si no hay líder se acobardan y resguardan
Su enajenación mental

De madera están rellenas
Las estatuas de las penas
Mas pescado en las cenas
Menos juegos de cadenas

Cría cuervos en tu casa
Uno mas entre la masa




Cría cuervos, ríe sus gracias
¡Que más tarde serán desgracias!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Boikot's "Cria Cuervos" reflect the frustration and the backward mentality that still exists in certain people, as it depicts them as primitive cavemen whose brains have not evolved enough to break free from their narrow-mindedness. The song goes on to criticize the excuses that are often used to justify this kind of behavior which only shows a lack of effort or concern to change. The chorus "cría cuervos, que ya te sacarán los ojos" (raise crows, and they will eventually pluck out your eyes) is a metaphor that warns about the dangers of nurturing negativity, ignorance, and bigotry because they will eventually cause harm.


The song suggests that ignoring the consequences of such behavior is like ignoring the reality that exists all around us, which means turning a blind eye to the issues that matter. The song further highlights the importance of being aware of the negative impact of such mentalities that are driven by racism and xenophobia. Through the lyrics, the band expresses the need to stand up against these issues and take action to rectify them. Boikot urges people to strive for change and to provide a better future for the generations to come.

¡Qué recuerdos! Paseando por mi barrio de carabanchel escuchando mi cassette de boikot. Me abrió mucho la mente y pasé grandes momentos viéndolos en concierto. ¡Un abrazo pa ellos!
