La Parrandera


Hoy estoy sufriendo me mata un dolor
Hoy estoy sufriendo me mata un dolor
Porque mi negrita solo me dejo
Porque mi negrita solo me dejo
Solo me dejo porque mi negrita

Si me ven sufriendo no me tengan pena
Si me ven sufriendo no me tengan pena
Lo culpa la tiene esa parrandera
Lo culpa la tiene esa parrandera
Esa parrandera la culpa la tiene

Siéntate a mi lado ingrata mujer
Siéntate a mi lado ingrata mujer
Que ahora es que tengo ganas de beber
Que ahora es que tengo ganas de beber
Ganas de beber que ahora es que tengo

Siéntate a mi lado ven acá mi nena
Siéntate a mi lado ven acá mi nena
Que adonde hubo fuego las cenizas quedan
Que adonde hubo fuego las cenizas quedan
Las cenizas quedan que adonde hubo fuego

En la línea abajo yo me enamore
En la línea abajo yo me enamore
Dicen las mujeres que vulva otra vez




Dicen las mujeres que vulva otra vez
Que vuelva otra vez dicen las mujeres.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of El Chaval's song La Parrandera speak of heartbreak and loss caused by his significant other. The opening lines describe the singer's intense pain brought about by his lover leaving him. However, he doesn't want anyone's pity, and he attributes the cause of his breakup to a party girl or "la parrandera." This character is blamed for causing problems within the relationship due to her love of partying and recklessness. Despite the heartache, the singer still longs for his former love and asks her to sit next to him. He declares that he has a newfound desire to drink and that "the ashes remain where there was once fire," meaning that their love could still be rekindled. The song ends with a throwback reference to where their love story began, with other women urging the singer to return to his lover.


Overall, the song portrays a classic tale of heartbreak and conflict within a relationship, due to external influences. The use of a parrandera character also adds an element of social commentary on the impact of party culture on personal relationships.
