Among their greatest hits -after their Three Souls era- "Triste Cancion" (based on Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane"), "Metro Balderas" (originally by Rodrigo Gonzalez), and "Piedras Rodantes" are probably the most known and have the quality of Anthems. Favorite bluesy songs such as "Oye Cantinero" and "ADO" belong to their Three Souls era, but are included in compilations and newer versions (from live concert recordings) abound.
Agua mi niño
El Tri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
División del norte y Avenida Coyoacán
Cervecería "La curva"
Cuando quieras embriagarte
Vas a conocer a Fidel
Él regentea este congal
Sirve botanas
Hace las cuentas
Hace las mesas
División del norte
Y Avenida Coyoacán
Cervecería "La curva"
Cuando quieras embriagarte
Y es que de repente
Me viene a la mente
Ese grito inconsciente
Que me sale del vientre y que dice
Agua mi niño
Agua mi niño
Agua mi niño
Agua mi niño
Y es que de repente
Me viene a la mente
Ese grito inconsciente
Que me sale del vientre y que dice
Agua mi niño
Agua mi niño
Agua mi niño
Agua mi niño
Tómate una
Tómate dos
Tres, cuatro, cinco o mas
Pero nunca pierdas la cuenta
Porque si la pierdes
Es que ya andas hasta atrás
División del norte
Y Avenida Coyoacán
Cervecería "La curva"
Cuando quieras embriagarte
División del norte
Y Avenida Coyoacán
Cervecería "La curva"
The song "Agua mi niño" by El Tri is a tribute to a popular drinking spot in Mexico City called "La Curva," located at the intersection of División del Norte and Avenida Coyoacán. The song describes the establishment, its owner Fidel, and the experience of indulging in alcohol and snacks there. The refrain of "Agua mi niño" is a humorous way of asking for more beer, as "agua" meaning "water" is often used colloquially to refer to beer or other alcoholic drinks.
Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes the importance of keeping track of how many drinks one has had in order to avoid getting too drunk. This cautionary note highlights the darker side of drinking culture and the potential consequences of losing control. However, the lighthearted and upbeat tone of the song suggests that the singer and his friends are enjoying themselves responsibly and appreciate the social aspect of drinking together.
Overall, "Agua mi niño" captures the spirit of a classic Mexican drinking establishment and the culture of conviviality and camaraderie that can be found there. The song portrays the pleasures and risks of alcohol in a way that is both humorous and insightful.
