Michael
Emmanuel Horvilleur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es como vos y como yo y como Michael
uuuuh
Tan fría como un esquimal
yo sé que estamos mal
como el paso de Michael para atrás
caliente como un carnaval, tu espuma me llegó
como el paso de Michael para atrás
pisamos la banana para atrás
uuuuuh
De qué video porno hablas? si yo filme el amor,
amor y la pasión entre los dos
hasta que llegó el final
me tuve que enterar mirándote en cadena Nacional
como el paso de Michael para atrás
pisamos la banana para atrás
uuuuh
Respeto no quieras bailar,
el traje lo alquilé, así que algún uso le voy a dar,
mirame desde tu sillón, te voy deslumbrar
con el paso de Michael para atrás
pisamos la banana para atrás
como el paso de Michael para atrás
Yo quiero ser tu bailarín y serlo por toda la eternidad (michael)
o un minuto solo en navidad (michael)
que mis piernas no paran de bailarte como si fuera Michael en luna llena.
Pisamos la banana para atrás
como el paso de Michael para atrás
pisamos la banana para atrás,
como el paso de Michael para atrás,
el paso de Michael para atrás
el paso de Michael para atrás
The lyrics in Emmanuel Horvilleur's song "Michael" appear to be a combination of references to Michael Jackson, a failed relationship, and sexual innuendos. The opening line compares the subject to both the singer and Michael Jackson, suggesting perhaps a shared sense of feeling like outsiders, different from the norm. The mention of being as cold as an Eskimo and as hot as a carnival hints at the highs and lows of passion and its destructive properties. The line "pisamos la banana para atrás" is a reference to a misstep, a mistake, or a reversal of fortune, much like the iconic Moonwalk performance Michael Jackson was known for.
The lyrics seem to imply a level of frustration and bitterness with a partner who may have cheated or misled the singer. The line "De qué video porno hablas? si yo filme el amor" suggests a lack of trust and honesty, perhaps due to infidelity or betrayal. The use of the phrase "cadena Nacional" in the same verse implies a sense of public humiliation or exposure for the singer, adding to the feelings of shame and anger. However, despite the sense of negativity, there is also a sense of hope and longing, particularly in the chorus where the singer wishes to be the partner's eternal dance partner, like Michael Jackson.
