Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como te meas
Yo cargo una pea
Que dios me la guarde
Que te pasa musa
Musa que te pasa
Que te pasa musa
Entre laza y cruza
Entre cuza y laza
A cuerpo cobarde
Como te meas
Yo cargo una pea
Que dios me la guarde
Hombre parrandero
No deben morirse
Hombre parrandero
No deben morise
Para divertirse
Con su compañeros
Para divertirse
Con su compañeros
A cuerpo cobarde (cobarde)
Como te meas
Yo cargo una pea
Que dios me la guarde
A cuerpo cobarde
Como te meas
Yo cargo una PEA
Que dios me la guarde
Quien fue el que te dijo
Que yo no venia
Quien fue el que te dijo
Que yo no venia
Por que no tenia
Un sendero fijo
Porque no tenia un sendero fijo
A cuerpo cobarde
Como te meas
Yo cargo una PEA
Que dios me la guarde
A cuerpo cobarde
Como te meas
Yo cargo una PEA
Que dios me la guarde
The song "Cuerpo Cobarde" by Gualberto Ibarreto talks about a man who is not afraid to party and have a good time. The phrase "a cuerpo cobarde" suggests that the man is brave, even in the face of death. He carries a "pea" (a small bottle of liquor) with him that he hopes God will protect him from. The song also includes references to a muse who seems to be causing trouble, as well as a warning that a partying man should take care to not die too soon, so that he can continue to have fun with his friends.
The first verse of the song makes it clear that the man singing is not afraid to live life to the fullest, even though he knows that his partying might cause problems for him in the future. He has accepted this risk and is willing to take it on. The repetition of the phrase "a cuerpo cobarde" emphasizes the man's bravery and willingness to take risks.
The second verse includes a reference to a muse, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for inspiration or creativity. The muse seems to be causing problems for the man, but the repetition of the question "musa que te pasa?" suggests that he is not afraid to face these challenges head-on.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a man who is not afraid to have fun and take risks, even though he knows that this lifestyle might be dangerous. The repeated phrase "a cuerpo cobarde" emphasizes the man's bravery and willingness to take on challenges.
