Que Ves?
Divididos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

El wawa de Troilo no quiere arrancar
falta envido y truco, chiste nacional
"Estamos en vena" grita el mayoral
Y pagas el vale un día después

¿Qué ves? ¿Qué ves cuando me ves?
Cuando la mentira es la verdad
La prensa de Dios lleva poster central
El bien y el mal definen por penal
fía "la chapita' porrón en palomar
cruzando la vía pa' poderla pasar





¿Qué ves? ¿Qué ves cuando me ves?
Cuando la mentira es la verdad

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Divididos's song Qué ves? can be interpreted as a commentary on the state of Argentine society, with its references to popular games like envido and truco, the national joke, and the mayoral shouting "We're in the vein", alluding to drug use. The verse "El wawa de Troilo no quiere arrancar" is a reference to the famous Argentine tango composer Aníbal Troilo, and his wawa, a type of accordion-like instrument. The fact that the wawa doesn't want to start can signify the difficulty in starting something new or expressing oneself in society.


The chorus, "¿Qué ves? ¿Qué ves cuando me ves? Cuando la mentira es la verdad" translates to "What do you see? What do you see when you see me? When lies are the truth". This can be interpreted as a commentary on the prevalence of falsehoods in society, especially in media and politics. The following verse, "La prensa de Dios lleva poster central El bien y el mal definen por penal", can be seen as a criticism against religion, which often presents a black-and-white view of morality and condemns those who deviate from it.


In summary, the song Qué ves? is a powerful critique of different aspects of Argentine society, from drug use to religion and media. It highlights the difficulty in expressing oneself truthfully and the prevalence of falsehoods and rigid moral codes that can hinder individual freedom.
