La sopa en botella

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No esperes que yo te lleve
Esa sopita en botella
Ni que te compre ese pardo
Ni que te dé esa mesada
Acurrala de abutín
Si quieres sentir la vida bella
Lalararalaa
Oye
Mira muchacho
Tienes los cables cambiaos
Tiene el cerebro tostao
Tú lo que estás es tururato
Si quieres un consejo
Acurrala de abutín
Si quieres poder llegar a viejo
Eh, pero no esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
Yo no te doy la mesada
Ya tú no sirves pa' nada
Vive bien
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
Eh, se te fue la cocinera
Ya tú no puede con ella
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
Eh tienes los cables cambiaos
Y tu cerebro tostao, óyelo
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
Eh, yo no te compro ese pardo
Yo no te doy la mesada
Vive bien
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
The song La Sopa En Botella by Celia & Johnny is about not relying on others to provide for you and instead taking control of your own life. The lyrics suggest that the person listening needs to stop expecting others to buy them things or give them money, as they need to take responsibility for their own well-being. The repeated refrain of "no esperes mi socio esa sopita en botella" translates roughly to "don't wait for me, my friend, for that bottled soup", which reinforces the message that you can't rely on others to provide for you.
The lyrics employ several colorful phrases that add to the overall impact of the song. "Acurrala de abutín" roughly translates to "surround yourself with good friends", while "tururato" seems to imply being scatterbrained or unfocused. Overall, the song encourages the listener to take charge of their own life and not wait for others to provide for them.
