no estoy mintiendo con lo que digo
Solo te empeñas en lastimarme los sentimientos y en tus castigos
solo se ha visto lo que me ha pasado por no comprender
y resolver este problema como a ti te da la gana
Tu eres la ley y a mi me llaman el presidiario
tu eres el rey y yo aqui siendo tu fiel esclavo
Oiga señora ley, mire señora ley, atienda señora ley, señora ley
. Usted dice que me quiere y asi no se quiere a nadie
(Porque me castiga señora ley)
- Si usted sabe que yo nunca le hice daño
- Aqui me tiene usted cumpliendo años
- No me castigue mas, no me haga sufrir
- Porque de esa manera no se puede vivir
- Porque me castiga señora ley
- Y asi no se quiere a nadie
(Porque me castiga señora ley)
- En una celda escondido
- Un presidiario gritaba
- Porque estoy aqui metido
- Si yo nunca le he hecho nada
- Yo se que soy inocente
- Me hicieron mala jugada
- Como usted me quiere a mi
(Asi no se quiere a nadie)
- Como me tratas comadre
- Mejor no me quieras na'
- Prefiero estar en la calle
The song "Piraguero" by Conjunto Clasico tells the story of someone who feels hopeless and burdened by the punishments they are receiving from the law. The lyrics express the singer's frustration with being mistreated and misunderstood while pleading for mercy and understanding. The first verse talks about the hopelessness the singer feels, with their understanding of the situation clashing with the punishment they are receiving. They feel that instead of being understood, they are being deliberately hurt. The next verse refers to the power dynamic between the singer and the law, with the law being referred to as the "queen" and the singer being called a prisoner. The repeated refrain of "oiga señora ley, mire señora ley, atienda señora ley" emphasizes the singer's desperate attempts to reach out to the law for mercy and help.
The chorus continues to plead for mercy, with the singer declaring that they are innocent, yet they are still being punished. The line "asi no se quiere a nadie" emphasizes the pain and suffering inflicted by the punishment. The second verse draws attention to the injustice experienced by the singer, who is imprisoned despite having done nothing wrong. They feel that they have fallen victim to a malicious scheme by unspecified others. The final lines show the singer's impatience with their mistreatment, stating that they would rather be on the streets, than be subjected to the inhumane treatment of the law.
