La Gallina Turuleca
CantaJuego Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que parece una sardina enlatada
Tiene las patas de alambre porque pasa mucha hambre
Y la pobre est谩 todita desplumada
Pone huevos en la sala y tambi茅n en la cocina
Pero nunca los pone en el corral
Es un caso singular
La gallina turuleca
Est谩 loca de verdad
La gallina turuleca
Ha puesto un huevo, ha puesto dos, ha puesto tres
La gallina turuleca
Ha puesto cuatro, ha puesto cinco, ha puesto seis
La gallina turuleca
Ha puesto siete, ha puesto ocho, ha puesto nueve
驴D贸nde est谩 esa gallinita?, d茅jala a la pobrecita
D茅jala que ponga diez
Yo conozco una vecina que ha comprado una gallina
Que parece una sardina enlatada
Tiene las patas de alambre porque pasa mucha hambre
Y la pobre est谩 todita desplumada
Pone huevos en la sala y tambi茅n en la cocina
Pero nunca los pone en el corral
La gallina turuleca
Es un caso singular
La gallina turuleca
Est谩 loca de verdad
La gallina turuleca
Ha puesto un huevo, ha puesto dos, ha puesto tres
La gallina turuleca
Ha puesto cuatro, ha puesto cinco, ha puesto seis
La gallina turuleca
Ha puesto siete, ha puesto ocho, ha puesto nueve
驴D贸nde est谩 esa gallinita?, d茅jala a la pobrecita
D茅jala que ponga diez
The lyrics describe a neighbor who has bought a unique chicken. The chicken looks like a canned sardine, has wire legs because it is always hungry, and is completely featherless. Despite its eccentricities, the chicken lays eggs all over the house, from the kitchen to the living room, but never seems to lay any in its designated area, the coop. The chorus repeats the phrase, "La gallina turuleca," emphasizing the oddity and singularity of this chicken, with the added claim that it is truly crazy.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted in a few different ways depending on the listener's perspective. One interpretation is that the song is about celebrating uniqueness and individuality, even if it means being a little bit different from those around you. The chicken serves as a symbol for this message, as it is clearly not like any other chicken in the flock. Another interpretation of the song is that it is a critique of neglectful animal ownership. The lyrics suggest that the chicken's owner does not take proper care of it, leaving it hungry and featherless, and not providing a suitable environment for laying eggs. Overall, the song is a whimsical and catchy tune that can be enjoyed by both children and adults alike.
