Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
son el museo de toda la gente
cosas baratas que despiertan la atencion
entre los trapos why los camisones
la gente busca nuevas sensaciones
comprar barato da una extraña excitacion
busco,busco, busco entre los trapos
busco, busco, busco unos zapatos
busco, busco, busca algo barato
busca, busca, busca algo barato
busca, busca, busca algo barato
hay algo extraño en todo es te ambiente
cosas usadas con olor a gente
la calle 20 da una extraña vibracion
entre los muebles why los dependientes
he visto un cuadro, he visto unos pendientes
un cementerio de cosas de gran valor
busco,busco,busco entre los trapos
busco,busco,busco algo barato
busco,busco,busco unos zapatos
busco,busco,busco algo barato
busca,busca,busca algo barato
busca,busca,busca algo barato
In Fey's song "Busca algo barato," she sings about the allure of the cheap items found in the stores on 20th Street in Mexico City. She describes them as a "museum" for the people, full of cheap things that catch the eye among the rags and nightgowns. The people who come there are looking for new experiences, and the thrill of buying something cheap seems to create an "strange excitement" within them. Fey notes that there is something strange in the atmosphere of the place, perhaps the smell of the used items or the feeling of being surrounded by objects with a history. She describes the street as having a strange vibration, a place where one might find treasure among the furniture and the salespeople.
The catchy chorus, "busco, busco, busco algo barato," which translates to "I search, I search, I search for something cheap," is repeated multiple times throughout the song, highlighting the obsession with finding a great deal. Fey sings about searching through the rags for a pair of shoes, hoping to find something that catches her eye. She notes that there is a "cemetery of things of great value" among the cheap items, a poignant reminder of the transience of material possessions.

Hahaha well, no. No one is sure if Fey is a Satanic witch, but the lyrics of this song are surely very disturbing, to say the least

on Siento
Fey is a Satanic Witch. Everybody knows that in Mexico, and this is her most openly Satanic song. "Siento" was a focus of controversy in 2002 because of that reason
