Él Se la Robó
Gaiteros de Pueblo Santo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de cornamentas en la frente de maridos y esposas, cuando sus parejas se
arriesgan a ser infieles, Juancho Miguelito nos solo debía cargar en el pecho con
un corazón destrozado como mango maduro que cae del cogollo de un árbol;
sino con la vergüenza de mirarse al espejo con tan particular adorno, la mirada
acuchilladora de sus paisanos y la incomodidad de no caber de pie por ninguna
puerta. Aun así, dias después al llegar a la orilla del Muchajagua, se percató que
también su canoa la pechichona, había sido robada por Pedro, hijo único de
El desespero y despecho de Juancho Miguelito lo llevó hasta el comando de la
policía y los folios aún guardan las líneas dolorosas del singular denuncio.
Jamás lo volvieron a ver, los más viejos dicen que fue cargado por error en un
camión atiborrado de toros miura con tumbo a las tierras de un tal Arturo
Cumplido.
The lyrics of "Él Se la Robó" by Gaiteros de Pueblo Santo explore the themes of betrayal, shame, and consequences in the small town of Pueblo Santo. The song paints a vivid picture of a community rife with mysteries, one of which involves a peculiar phenomenon - the growth of horns on the foreheads of unfaithful spouses.

This imagery of the mango falling from the tree symbolizes the weight of his guilt and the inevitability of his actions leading to a downfall. The lyrics also mention the discomfort of facing judgment from his fellow townspeople and the physical limitations imposed by his newfound adornment. This conveys a deep sense of isolation and remorse experienced by Juancho Miguelito as he grapples with the consequences of his betrayal.
The narrative takes a twist when Juancho Miguelito discovers that his canoe, "la pechichona," has also been stolen by Pedro, the son of Matilde known for his expertise in stealing other people's chickens. This revelation adds another layer of misfortune and betrayal to the singer's already troubled situation. It further emphasizes the idea that actions have repercussions, not just for the individuals directly involved but also for those around them. The intertwining of personal and communal consequences underscores the interconnectedness of relationships within the community of Pueblo Santo.
The lyrics culminate in Juancho Miguelito's desperate attempt to seek justice by reporting the theft to the police, only for him to mysteriously disappear thereafter. The mention of being mistakenly loaded onto a truck bound for unknown lands adds a sense of finality and tragedy to the tale of Juancho Miguelito. His fate remains shrouded in uncertainty, leaving the listener to ponder the consequences of his actions and the enduring impact of betrayal within the intricate social fabric of Pueblo Santo. Overall, "Él Se la Robó" masterfully weaves together themes of infidelity, shame, and retribution, offering a poignant reflection on the complexities of human relationships in a small, insular community.
