Tocando en la lava me tome unos tragos
Tocando en la lava me tome unos tragos

The song "El Puente Seco" by Fefita la Grande is a story of a man who had some drinks while playing music in Lava, and then had a failure while arriving at Santiago. The lyrics "tocando en la lava me tome unos tragos" suggests that the singer is a musician playing in Lava, and he had a few drinks while playing. However, he faced failure while arriving at Santiago, as suggested by the line "ay tuve al fracasar al llegar a Santiago." This line shows that the singer had high hopes of achieving success while arriving at Santiago, but it did not happen. He then finds himself in a difficult situation as he encounters a man who wants to harm him, as suggested by "en el puente seco se me arrimo un guapo, y tuvo al matarme donde callo saco."
The reference to Máximo Silverio, who is a good friend of the old Fefa, is mentioned in the song. Fefa is the nickname for Fefita la Grande, which suggests she may be referring to herself, and Máximo Silverio is her friend. The line "máximo Silverio a mí me lo dijo, de la vieja Fefa yo soy buen amigo" suggests that Máximo Silverio knows Fefa very well and thinks highly of her, which also implies that she is an influential person in her community. The last two lines "y Chelo Miami salió pa pa fiesta, que ante de llegar reservó su mesa" tells us that Chelo Miami is a person who likes to have a good time and is well-prepared, as he reserved his table before arriving at the party.
