Sargent Maravilla
Fito Páez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ese mono loco del perú
Con su trago al sol al despertar
Es la sal de nuestra vida
Somos socios del club
De los monos zulus
Pasan música nueva y vieja a la vez
Lo tenés que saber
Stanley siempre fue un superstar
Un insoportable rastaman
Stanley es el novio de mamá
El canalla se la lleva
Lejos, lejos del club_
Le hace cargar su cruz
Ella paga los tragos y no está bien
Stanley le hace creer
Que ella es su lady di
Y el su gran affaire
Oh!, vinicius va, el cuchi va
Vandera va, las chicas también van
Luisito va, violeta va
O chico va, y boggie tambien va
Y pablo va, gonzalo va
Y césar va a no desesperar
Liliana va, gustavo va
Los shakers van, fa, fa, fa, fa, farafafafafa
Sargent toca su blues
Sargent y los zulus
Sargent y mi mamá crearon poder
Y no me lo puedo creer
Sargent me hizo una hermana, qué lujo!
Algo me faltaba por contar
Sargent se quedó con mi mamá
Sargent se encargó de stanley
Y no lo vimos más
Y todo el club se puso a festejar
The lyrics to Fito Paez's "Sargent Maravilla" tell a story about a man named Sargent Maravilla, who became a shining light in their lives. He is described as a crazy monkey from Peru who likes to drink in the sun when he wakes up. He is the salt of their lives, and they are all members of the Zulus monkey club. They listen to both new and old music, and Sargent only accepts new members who wake up early like he does.
The song takes a turn when the singer introduces Stanley, a rastaman who is a superstar and the boyfriend of his mother. Stanley is described as a villain who takes advantage of the singer's mother, making her pay for his drinks and making her believe she is his lady di. The other members of the monkey club continue to party and enjoy life, with names like Vinicius, Violeta, and the Shakers being mentioned. But something changes when Sargent becomes involved in the situation, taking care of Stanley and the club celebrates. It is later revealed that Sargent took over the singer's mother and even gave him a sister.
The lyrics in the song tell a complicated story about the different characters and relationships involved, leaving some parts open to interpretation. The title of the song is a play on words, using "Sargent" instead of "Sargento" which means sergeant in Spanish. This could suggest that Sargent is not really a soldier, but instead a leader of the monkey club. The song's themes of family drama and the negative effects of toxic relationships are prevalent throughout.
