La Cadena De Oro
Cabas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Weaaaaa...... (mira la cadena de oro papa!)

Yo a ti te conozco de antes de que vendieras tu ojos
por una cadena de oro
por una vida elegante
Has cubierto tu hermosura con un abrigo
un abrigo de amargura y modales finos
Y tu nuevo dueño.... no te deja bailar
y la fiesta esta empezando... y
el te pone a llorar!

CORO:
Mami la cadena de oro mira que no vale na'
Yo te ofresco la luna reflejada en el mar
Y el viento que te acaricia con el sabor de mi cumbia

Dejala caer Mami!, dejala caer Mami , dejala caer... que aunque eso brille no vale (x 2)

Instrumental

Y donde esta la alegria, y donde esta la ternura
Por adornar tu figura, perdiste lo que tenias
Ahora es solo una mentira toda tu vida
El amor es libre no se puede comprar con dinero tu vacio... no lo podras llenar

CORO ( x 4 )


Dejala Caer.... (hay tu vida facil)
Dejala Caer....

Que aunque eso brille no vale ( x 2)





Bueno ya saben que no todo lo que brilla es oro! de colombia papa'

Overall Meaning

The song "La Cadena De Oro" by Cabas begins with an exclamation about the shiny gold chain. The lyrics describe how the female protagonist was known before she sold her integrity for the sake of a materialistic life. She is depicted as having relinquished her beauty and happiness for elegance and superficiality. She has wrapped herself in a coat of bitterness and fake manners to cover her true self, and now she must endure the consequences. Her new owner does not let her dance, making her shed tears at the party. This portrays a lack of freedom and joy for her, and the agony of being bound by the chain of gold.


The chorus offers a contrast to the woman's situation, where the singer acknowledges that the gold chain is worthless, and that he will offer her the moon reflected in the sea, and the wind that feels like his cumbia when it caresses her. The instrumental forces the listener to let go of the string of gold and feel the rhythm, as the emphasis shifts from materialism to freedom and enjoyment. The lyrics offer a moral lesson, that not everything that glitters is gold, and that life is about finding joy and freedom, which cannot be bought by any metal or material.
