Leche En Polvo
Coz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leche en polvo americana, teta de mi rock and roll
Leche, que también es leche y es la que he mamado yo
Leche en superbombarderos, en plan colonización
Un tiro por la culata que les reventó el cañón
Curro para una multinacional, como cualquier inglés
Supositorios de "american way of life" te ponen a ti también
Zappa no es la Coca Cola ni yo la Virgen del Pilar
A ver si va a importar ahora en donde haya nacido Marx
Me acusan de hacer el juego al imperio anglosajón
Yo solo hago un canto nuevo, fruto de la rebelión
Trabajo para una multinacional, como cualquier inglés




Supositorios de "american way of life" te ponen a ti también
¡Oh, Yes! ¿Oyes?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Coz's song "Leche En Polvo" are a critique of American cultural imperialism and the way it infiltrates and dominates other cultures, in this case through the music industry. The title itself translates to "Powdered Milk" which can be seen as a metaphor for something artificial or fake, much like the cultural products that are being exported. The first line, "Leche en polvo americana, teta de mi rock and roll" which translates to "American powdered milk, the breast of my rock and roll" speaks to the idea that American culture, specifically American rock and roll, is the source and sustenance of this new cultural creation. However, the next line "Leche, que también es leche y es la que he mamado yo" which translates to "Milk, which is also milk, and is the one I have suckled" suggests that the singer recognizes the value of the original culture from which their own music has grown.


The song goes on to criticize the way in which this cultural imperialism is perpetuated, through corporate interests and the idea of the "American way of life". The line "Supositorios de 'american way of life' te ponen a ti también" which translates to "Suppositories of the 'American way of life' also affect you" suggests that even people outside of America are subjected to these cultural products, imposed upon them by multinational corporations. Ultimately, the song is a call to rebellion against this domination, with the singer stating "Yo solo hago un canto nuevo, fruto de la rebelión" which translates to "I only make a new song, fruit of rebellion".
