La Vecinita
Café Quijano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tan pronto me vestí al mundo yo me lancé,
para intentar descubrir qué había dentro de mí,
para intentar descubrir qué había dentro de mí.
Anda, fíjate, resulta que sin saber
en buen lío me metí tratando de conseguir
aquella vecinita que tanto me hacía tilín,
aquella vecinita que tanto me hacia tilín.
con otra chica muy linda agarradas de la mano,
y como me sorprendió, yo nunca me imaginé,
que aquella vecina mía tuviera esa inclinación.
Anda, fíjate, resulta que sin saber
en buen lío me metí tratando de conseguir
aquella vecinita que tanto me hacía tilín
aquella vecinita que tanto me hacía tilín.
Después de mucho pensar decidí con ella hablar,
me dijo esta es mi vida y a nadie yo hago mal,
entonces yo comprendí que uno ha de ser feliz,
que disfrute de su chica, yo otra me buscaré.
Anda, fíjate, resulta que sin saber
en buen lío me metí tratando de conseguir
aquella vecinita que tanto me hacía tilín,
aquella vecinita que tanto me hacía tilín.
Anda, fíjate, resulta que sin saber
en buen lío me metí tratando de conseguir
aquella vecinita que tanto me hacía tilín,
aquella vecinita que tanto me hacía tilín.
The song "La Vecinita" by Café Quijano tells the story of the singer's quest to discover what is inside of themself through the pursuit of their neighbor, who they have a crush on. However, upon seeing their neighbor holding hands with another girl, the singer is surprised to learn that their neighbor is gay. After thinking about it for a while, the singer realizes that everyone has the right to be happy and that they will find someone else to pursue. The song's lyrics are filled with a mixture of excitement, confusion, and acceptance that the singer feels throughout this experience.
The repetition of "Anda, fíjate, resulta que sin saber/en buen lío me metí" emphasizes the singer's obliviousness and lack of control over their situation. These lyrics suggest that sometimes, no matter how hard you try to understand yourself or others, you can still find yourself in a difficult position. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy rhythm contrast with its underlying message of self-discovery and acceptance of all types of love.
