DISCÍPULOS DE OTILIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y por cojones lo tengo que dejar
a Cartagena vestido de marino,
los calzoncillos manchados de marrón.
Si tú me dices ven Ay, Ay, Ay,
el perro del sargento no me deja respirar
los coroneles, los generales
y el puto estado no me deja de agobiar.
y por cojones me van a secuestrar
durante un año to mosqueado
al puto ejército me voy a alimentar.
The lyrics of "Y tan panchos" by Discípulos de Otilia describe the singer's willingness to leave everything behind if their lover asks them to. The first verse uses the phrase "Si tú me dices ven, lo dejo todo" which means "If you tell me to come, I'll leave everything." The singer emphasizes their commitment by saying "y por cojones lo tengo que dejar" which translates to "and I have to do it by force." They then mention a specific location, Cartagena, and describe themselves as dressed like a sailor with dirty underwear.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Si tú me dices ven, Ay, Ay, Ay" and adds a new element to the story. The singer talks about a sergeant's dog that won't let them breathe. They also mention feeling pressured by military officials such as colonels and generals, as well as the government.
The last verse continues with the theme of leaving everything behind for their lover. The singer mentions that if they were to leave, they would be kidnapped and forced to spend a year in the military. Although they would be worried during that time, they would continue to feed their commitment to their lover.
