A Esa Gran Velocidad
El Haragán Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voy a intentar una tonada
Que se parezca a Pink Floyd
Una dulce carcajada
Ahogada en humo y alcohol.

Lo que pasa es que es
Solo un mal rocanrolero
Él es solo un mal rocanrolero
Con las palabras amontonadas
Ebrias, locas.

El no respira, fuma
El no come, bebe
El no vive, muere.

A esa gran velocidad
Un impacto seria fatal
A esa gran velocidad
Un impacto sería fatal.

Morir así seria inusual
En un joven no es normal
Mi vida está en mis manos
Un descuido seria fatal.

Veo un camino en mi vida
No sé a donde va
No sé a donde va.

Voy a acabar esta tonada
Es la canción de un perdedor
Esta dulce carcajada
Y cantar en ultimo rock.

Lo que pasa es que es
Solo un mal rocanrolero
Él es solo un mal rocanrolero
Con las palabras amontonadas
Ebrias, locas.

A esa gran velocidad
Un impacto seria fatal




A esa gran velocidad
Un impacto sería fatal

Overall Meaning

In "A Esa Gran Velocidad" El Haragan sings about the life of a struggling rock and roll performer who is drowning in alcohol and smoke. The lyrics convey a sense of rebellion and despair as the singer seems to be living fast and hard with little regard for his own life. The first verse features the singer attempting to create a song that emulates the legendary Pink Floyd. He then sings about the singer of the song who is just a "bad rock and roll singer" with slurred and crazy words. The singer is not eating, breathing air to stay alive, but smoking to keep on with the show. He is sliding towards death at breakneck speeds.


The chorus emphasizes the danger of living life so recklessly. The singer warns that death is just one miscalculation away when you're living at such high speeds. As the song progresses, the lyricist reveals that the singer is a young man, unusual in how he chooses to live his life. He acknowledges that his life is in his hands and that he must be careful not to accidentally meet a fatal end. The singer does not know where his life may take him; however, he is determined to embrace his identity as a loser in rock and roll, with lyrics and laughter that are both sweet and poignant.
