Me Tiene Chivo
Bonny Cepeda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cuando mi mujer me dice viejo voy para el salon, regresa por la noche luciendo el mismo pajon
me tiene chivo (4), mi mujer sale de noche y regresa el otro dia, le pregunte donde estabas, me dijo donde vivias
The lyrics to Bonny Cepeda's song Me Tiene Chivo speak about a man who is suspicious of his wife's actions. He says that when she goes out to the salon, she returns the following morning with the same messy hair. He then repeats the phrase "me tiene chivo" four times, which translates to "she's got me suspicious." The man confronts his wife and asks where she was, to which she responds with where she lives.
The song's lyrics suggest that the man believes his wife may be cheating on him due to her actions. The use of the phrase "me tiene chivo" adds to the feeling of paranoia and suspicion. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes how the man cannot shake the feeling of doubt and how it consumes him. The wife's response to her husband's question is also telling, as she does not give a clear answer, but merely states where she lives, leaving the husband in the dark and possibly fueling his suspicions even more.
Overall, the lyrics to Me Tiene Chivo are a reflection of the complicated emotions that come with infidelity and suspicion in a relationship.
