Cirujano Patafísico
Chucho Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo sólo quiero operarte, nena,
será coser y cantar,
verás que pronto crece en ti el amor,
tejido de felicidad.

Yo sólo quiero que me quieras,
darte una oportunidad,
tendrás el marcapasos del amor,

transplante de felicidad.

Yo sólo creo que estás enferma,
tendrás la Ciencia detrás,
verás el desarrollo del amor,
tejido de felicidad.

Tendrás el marcapasos del amor,
transplante de felicidad.

Soy médico, cirujano patafísico,
soy cirujano patafísico,
y creo que lo tuyo es un mal endémico
y yo lo voy a erradicar...

Sólo quiero operarte, nena,

yo sólo quiero que me quieras,
yo... soy cirujano patafísico.

Overall Meaning

In Chucho's song "Cirujano Patafísico," the singer plays the role of a quirky and eccentric surgeon who claims to have the cure for the woman's "disease" of not being in love. He promises her that he can operate on her and "sew and sing" to create a love that will grow within her like a happy tissue. He further encourages her to give him a chance to love her and assures her that he has the science behind him to help her develop a love that will bring her happiness. He plays with the technical term for a pacemaker, "marcapasos," using it as a metaphor for the surgery to implant love in her, promising to give her a "transplant of happiness."

The song's title, "Cirujano Patafísico," refers to the concept of "patafysics," a term coined by French writer Alfred Jarry in the late 19th century. It refers to a philosophy of absurdist science that deals with imaginary solutions and singularities beyond the realm of conventional science. The singer employs this concept to describe his unconventional and absurd approach to love surgery, adding a humorous and whimsical element to the song. The song is a metaphor for the power of love, which can heal and transform lives and make us feel better, even in the most difficult times.
