Carretera 54
Caballo Dorado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de un muchacho muy particular
que en una noche se le fue su amada
cuando lo llamaron a trabajar.
Resulto ser una falsa alarma
y al no encontrarla
se puso a llorar.
que decia te voy a dejar.
Y conociendo su temperamento
pensó su imagen iba a peligrar
Subio a su carro todos sus recuerdos
y hasta penso que la queria matar.
Carretera 54 fuiste testiga de la vanidad,
alboroto la ciudad en un rato
y ella dormia en casa de su mama
carretera 54...
cuando llego a la primera discoteca,
lo corrieron por amenazar
a toda aquella que se le pareciera
a su morena que es angelical.
Estuvo un rato en todos los bares
hubo destroos casi al por mayor.
Y no de todo salio bien librado
nariz hinchada y un moreton
Y al regresar a la madrugada
el hielo no bajaba la hinchazon
Sono el telefono y era su amada
mi mama quiere que vengas mi amor
carretera 54...
carretera 54...
The song "Carretera 54" by Caballo Dorado tells the story of a young man who experiences heartbreak after his girlfriend leaves him without warning. The lyrics describe his reaction to the breakup, which includes a tumultuous night spent driving around the city and causing trouble. The song begins by introducing us to the singer, who is a "very particular" young man. We soon learn that he has just lost his beloved girlfriend, who left him while he was at work. He is heartbroken and starts to cry when he finds a note on the table that says she is leaving.
The rest of the song details his reaction to the breakup, which is quite extreme. He starts driving around the city, stopping at various bars and clubs in search of his ex-girlfriend. He gets into fights and even threatens other women who resemble his former love. The song's title refers to the highway that leads to all the places he visits on his quest for some kind of closure. Eventually, he receives a call from his ex-girlfriend, who asks him to come see her. The song ends with a kind of anticlimactic resolution, as he heads over to her mother's house to presumably reconcile.
This song provides a cautionary tale of how heartbreak can drive someone to extremes. It also touches on themes of jealousy, anger, and the allure of the open road. Overall, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young man struggling to come to terms with his lost love.
