Roe Por La Escalera
Chambao Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me equivoque de nº de bloque,me equivoque de piso.
Me equivoque de portero,me equivoque de letra
Me equivoque por subir la escalera, me equivoque de puerta.
Y abrió la enfermera
Y dijo que esperara me
Y me quito la muela
Tropecé en el escalón, como canta el tableton
Y a rodar por la escalera
Me acorde de la calle, me acorde del sitio
Me acorde del numero de bloque, me acorde del piso
Me acorde de portero,me acorde de la letra
Me acorde de que había un ascensor me acorde de la puerta.
Y abrió la enfermera
Y dijo que esperara
Me cogió el dentista
Y me quito la muela
Me arreglo todos los demas
Que los tenia fatal
De roar por la escalera
The lyrics of Chambao's song "Roe Por La Escalera" tell the story of a person who gets lost on their way to a location, mistakenly enters the wrong building, and ends up falling down the stairs. The lyrics reflect on how easy it is to make mistakes and how even the most mundane tasks can go wrong. The repetition of the phrase "me equivoque" (I was wrong) emphasizes the frustration and helplessness of the situation.
