Cenas y cines
Chico y Chica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anaconda, el libro es peor.
Que charlestón, no encontramos mesa en el restoran.
La matinal, en primera fila, no es numeral.
Se conoce, que en los cines de Santander,
si les dices, te dejan fumar
Cines,
no te defines.
Cenas,
Cines,
no se si te sale a cuenta.
Aterriza como puedas,
y pega la vuelta.
Cenas,
Cines,
la cosa se pone fea.
El diablo sobre ruedas,
Me está amargando la fiesta.
Que paranoic,
gente que te mira, como es natural.
Susan Sarandonga y Rosy de Palm.
Jennifer Lo, en persona tira pa'tras.
Anaconda, el libro es peor.
Cenas,
Cines,
no te deprimes.
Cenas,
Cines,
no se si te sale a cuenta.
Aterriza como puedas,
y pega la vuelta.
Cenas,
Cines,
la cosa se pone fea.
El diablo sobre ruedas.
Te está amargando la fiesta.
Jennifer Lo, en persona tira pa'tras.
Anaconda, el libro es peor.
Jennifer Lo, en persona tira pa'tras.
Anaconda, el libro es peor.
Cenas,
Cines,
Aterriza como puedas.
Cenas,
Cines,
El diablo sobre ruedas.
Jennifer Lo, en persona tira pa'tras.
Cenas,
Cines,
Anaconda, el libro es peor.
El diablo sobre ruedas,
Jennifer Lo, en persona
Anaconda, ... peor.
The lyrics of "Cenas y Cines" by Chico y Chica describe the experience of going out to dinner and a movie, with references to various popular culture figures and works. The opening lines mention Jennifer Lopez and the book "Anaconda" as things that are not worth experiencing, perhaps suggesting that the singers are unimpressed by mainstream pop culture. They then mention the difficulty of finding a table at a restaurant and the fact that sitting in the front row of a movie theater is not necessarily ideal.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Cenas, Cines, no te defines" and "Cenas, Cines, no se si te sale a cuenta," which could be interpreted as questioning whether going out to dinner and a movie is really a defining experience or worthwhile use of time and money. The bridge of the song includes references to people staring and feeling paranoid, as well as a humorous jumble of celebrity names including Susan Sarandonga and Rosy de Palm.
Overall, the lyrics of "Cenas y Cines" seem to be poking fun at the idea of going out for a night on the town and questioning whether it's really worth it. The references to popular culture and the slightly absurd tone of the song suggest that it's not meant to be taken too seriously.
