¿Te Gusta A Ti Ese Son?
Botellita De Jerez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rumbo a la rumba de mi chamba
En mi potranca ruletera me monte
Pero una piedra en el camino
A mi destino puso un puntapié
Una morrita caminaba
Y contoneándose se atravezo
Oh no
Una sonrisa a toda prisa y con sus
Parpados me parpadeo

Me fui despacio
Y puse recio en mi rocola
Un guacarrock
Un guacahca que rica rola

Te gusta a ti ese son
Te gusta a ti ese son
Te gusta a ti ese son (Que rico son)

Una morrita caminaba
Y contoneándose se atravezo
Oh no
Una sonrisa a toda prisa y con sus
Parpados me parpadeo

Me fui despacio
Y puse recio en mi rocola
Un guacarrock
Un guacahca que rica rola

Te gusta a ti ese son
Te gusta a ti ese son
Goza mi negra, azucar morena
Te gusta a ti ese son
Te gusta a ti ese son
Mira mira chiribom chiribom
Te gusta a ti ese son
Te gusta a ti ese son

Quiero que me des la rajita de canela

Te gusta a ti ese son
Te gusta a ti ese son
A correr y a bailar
Que el mundo se va a acabar
Te gusta a ti ese son
Te gusta a ti ese son
Metete Tete que te metas tete
Te gusta a ti ese son




Te gusta a ti ese son
Ay que darse un son son son, que rico son

Overall Meaning

The song "Ese" by Botellita de Jerez is about the singer's journey to a party or "rumba" with his trusty "potranca ruletera." However, his plans are disrupted by a girl who crosses his path and catches his attention. She smiles at him, causing him to slow down and put on a "guacarrock" song on his radio. He then invites his listener or a person near to enjoy the music, asking "Te gusta a ti ese son?" (Do you like this sound?), and encouraging them to dance and enjoy the night.


The lyrics of the song showcase the group's trademark fusion of different Mexican rhythms, like rock and roll, cumbia, and norteño, which created the "guacarrock" style. The song's title "Ese" is a slang term used in Mexican culture to refer to someone, usually a male, such as a friend or acquaintance you might find at a "rumba."


The song is a celebration of life and music, encouraging everyone to let loose, dance, and enjoy the moment, even if there are problems on the road, like a stone blocking your path. The lyrics also incorporate some flirty language towards the girl, asking for a taste of her "rajita de canela."
