Cri-Cri is known as the "grillito cantor" or "the singing cricket". He is a character created by Francisco Gabilondo Soler in his childhood and may even be considered "his inner personality"
The character became so famous and gave its author such renown, that it became a second name for Gabilondo. In the mid part of the 20th century he became the most recognizable singer of children's songs in Spanish. Gabilondo's dedication to this segment of the population has been greatly admired, comparable to Walt Disney in his honest approach to making life fun for those who are getting started in life.
¿Cómo Le Va?
Cri-Cri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
iba doña Ardilla
con una sombrilla azul,
entre la fragancia de los pinos
y el perfume de eucalipto y abedul.
Corre que te corre, pizpireta,
siempre tan coqueta
cuando en su camino
se presenta la ocasión
de entablar conversación.
–¿Cómo le va, señor Venado?
¿Cómo le va, qué tal ha estado?
Espero en Dios que esté usted muy bien,
y su mamá y su papá también.
–¿Cómo le va, señora Ardilla?
¿Qué linda está con su sombrilla!
Cuénteme usted alguna novedad.
¿Cómo le va? ¿Cómo le va? ¿Cómo le va?
Salta que te salta por el bosque,
iba doña Ardilla
con una sombrilla azul,
entre la fragancia de los pinos
y el perfume de eucalipto y abedul.
Corre que te corre, pizpireta,
siempre tan coqueta
para poner atención,
cuando en su camino
se presenta la ocasión
de entablar conversación.
–¿Cómo le va señor Conejo?
Usted jamás se pone viejo.
Es un milagro que se deje ver.
Dígame usted dónde se fue a meter.
–Pues ya lo ve: aquí engordando
y así, así, la voy pasando,
gracias a Dios muy bien. Y usted, ¿qué tal?
¿Cómo le va? ¿Cómo le va? ¿Cómo le va?
The lyrics to "¿Cómo Le Va?" by Cri-Cri depict a man asking a woman how she's been and offering to give her a good time. He reassures her that he won't hurt her and encourages her to make better decisions in her life regarding relationships. The man is confident in himself and his ability to please her. He uses language that is sexual in nature, but also shows an interest in her as a person, stating that he likes her fragrances and wanting to know if she wants to spend the night with him. The song is ultimately about a man trying to seduce a woman and making her feel good.
The lyrics of "¿Cómo Le Va?" may be interpreted as objectifying and disrespectful towards women, as the man's approach is very focused on sexual advances and disregards any emotional connection.
