Quitate de la via perico
No ve que ahi viene el tren!

Quitate de la via perico
Que ahi viene el tren
Y quitate de la via perico
Que ahi viene el tren.
Y luego no vaya a decir
Oye que a ti no te lo advirtieron
Pero luego no vaya a decir
Oye que a ti no te lo advirtieron

Pero que quitate de la via perico
Que ahi viene el tren
Y quitate de la via perico
Que ahi viene el tren, quitate perico...

(Si yo llego saber que perico era sordo
Yo paro el tren).

Perico Perico Perico Perico Perico por sordo
Lo mato el tren el pobre Perico.

Oyeme mariquini que si yo llego a saber
Que Perico era sordo paro el tren y no mato a perico.

Uy periquito mangua periquito manguan
Periquito manguan manganzon por sordo
Lo mato el tren al pobre Perico.

Epa Perico dale pa lante perico juega.

Maria lao buena mira que si yo llego a saber
Que perico era sordo paro el tren y no mato a perico

Perico Perico Perico Perico Perico Perico
Perico Perico por sordo
Lo mato el tren el pobre Perico .

Y a la orden ya mira que Perico estaba
Estaba comiendo caña en la via
Y no vio el tren el pobre Perico.

Periquito periquito periquito periquito periquito heva

Oye ismaelito junior viste por mas que se lo dije a Perico




Y se llamaba Perico
Que descanse en paz, que bueno!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Perico" by El Klan de Porfi talk about a warning to a person named Perico to get out of the way because a train is coming. The repetition of the phrase "Quitate de la via perico" emphasizes the urgency and importance of avoiding the train. The song also highlights the consequences of not heeding the warning, as it mentions that Perico, who is apparently deaf, ends up being killed by the train.


The lyrics also express regret and a sense of responsibility for not knowing Perico was deaf. The lines "Pero luego no vaya a decir, Oye que a ti no te lo advirtieron" suggest that the singer doesn't want to be blamed for not warning Perico. There is a mix of humor and sympathy in the narrative, as the chorus repeats the name Perico and acknowledges his disability but also mentions his demise.


Overall, the song "Perico" by El Klan de Porfi is a cautionary tale about the importance of heeding warnings and the tragic consequences that can result from not doing so. It also portrays a sense of remorse and reflection on the part of the singer for not being aware of Perico's condition and potentially being able to prevent the accident.
