Emilio José Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E pouco mh mh mh mh
X2
Chove de máis, toda a xente dentro
E ninguén fóra
Aquí en Quins
Todo o que podes facer e colle-lo coche
E ir ó Bershka, ó Springfield
Polo Centro Comercial porque
Se non tes farlopa
Se non fumas non gastas un can
E podes vivir unha auténtica experiencia trascendental
John Coltrane nas Burgas
Veu e foise, todo o que dixo foi
Que ba-su-ra
Esta é unha provincia case tan grande coma Madrid
E veñen de Madrid a decidir
Só e só, arredor do sol
Deberías fartarte pero vése que non
Nesta nación rural aínda hai choio por facer
Ourense moito uh, uh, ah, ah
E pouco mh mh mh mh

Jazz e droga, eso é o imprescindibel para estar de moda
Seis kg de MD, hachís, speed
Quixen mil feixes cheos de coca
Ey, oíches?

The lyrics to Emilio José's song Ourense offer a commentary on life in the city of Ourense, a province located in the northwest region of Spain. The song starts with the repeated phrase "Ourense moito uh, uh, ah, ah / E pouco mh mh mh mh," which loosely translates to "Ourense with a lot of (energy)/ And little (else)". This repetition sets the tone for the rest of the song, which portrays the city as being somewhat lacking in excitement and opportunities.
The first verse describes a situation where it is raining heavily, and everyone is forced to stay indoors. The singer laments that there is not much to do in the town of Quins, except drive to the local mall and do some window shopping. The phrase "Se non tes farlopa / Se non fumas non gastas un can" implies that there is a prevalent drug culture in Ourense, and that those who don't partake are at a loss for ways to pass the time. The phrase "John Coltrane nas Burgas / Veu e foise, todo o que dixo foi / Que ba-su-ra" suggests that even the presence of a famous jazz musician in town doesn't make up for the overall lack of excitement.
The second verse takes a more cynical tone, depicting Ourense as a "rural nation" where there is still much work to be done. The singer seems to suggest that people who come from outside to try to improve the city, including those from Madrid, don't really understand the realities of life there. The final lines of the verse ("Deberías fartarte pero vése que non / Nesta nación rural aínda hai choio por facer") suggest that there is still much room for improvement in Ourense.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a city that is somewhat lacking in excitement and opportunities, but still retains a unique character and charm.
