Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi muchachita, me está diciendo
que quiere ir a bailar
Y yo le digo, que no me sale
si a ella no la llevo yo
Ella me dice, que tiene un novio
y yo le digo que así no riego
y queme de rumbear
Abuelo no quiero ser, muchachita,
abuelo no quiero ser, todavía
Abuelo no quiero ser, muchachita,
abuelo no quiero ser, todavía
Chévere que esperes, ¡hay muchachita!
chévere que chévere, ¡deja de gozar!
chévere que esperes, todavía no busques eso
chévere que chévere, deja de rumbear
Abuelo no quiero ser, ¡chévere!
Abuelo no quiero ser, ¡hay que chévere!
Abuelo no quiero ser, te repito
Abuelo no quiero ser, dame un chancecito
Chévere que esperes, ¡muchachita!
chévere que chévere, ¡hay todavía no!
chévere que esperes, ¡dame una esperita!
chévere que chévere, ¡muchachita!
Abuelo no quiero ser, ¡sí!
Abuelo no quiero ser (te lo pido por favor, te lo pido)
Abuelo no quiero ser
Dame un chance
deja de vacilar
Estoy muy joven para ser abuelo
¡A dormir!
Señoras y señores, les presento a mi muchachita
¿A ella le podemos dar besitos?
¿Le podemos dar regalitos? Ok
¿Le podemos dar cariñito? Ajá
¿Y otras cositas de noche? Ah ah... ¡fuera!
(Chévere que esperes
Chévere que chévere)
Soy rumbero
De Juanchito a Nueva York
Dame un break-in
Dame una esperita
Abuelo no quiero ser, te lo pido
Abuelo no quiero ser, te lo repito
Abuelo no quiero ser, muchachita
Abuelo no quiero ser, una esperita
Soy rumbero
Soy salsero
Dame una esperita
Hay mi muchachita
Sí señor: Alexis Lozano
¿Qué cómo? ¿Qué baila?
Qué qué qué qué
Guayacán
Hay dame un chance
Dame un break-in
En la casa no hace falta nada
Vuelvo y te repito
No quiero ser
Muchachita
Dame una esperita
¡que no!
The song "Muchachita" by Guayacán Orquesta is a fun and upbeat salsa tune about a young girl who wants to go out dancing. The first verse starts with the singer's "muchachita" (little girl) telling him that she wants to go out dancing, but he is hesitant to take her if he can't be the one to take her there. She then tells him that she has a boyfriend to go dancing with, but the singer advises against it, telling her not to take risks and that he doesn't want to become an "abuelo" (grandfather) just yet. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes this point, with the singer exclaiming that he doesn't want to become an "abuelo" while the "chévere" (cool) background singers urge the girl to wait and not start partying too early.
The second half of the song is more playful, with the singer introducing his "muchachita" and asking the audience permission to give her kisses, gifts, and affection. However, he quickly changes his tune and warns her not to expect anything more than a chance and a break-in (opportunity) to dance. The song closes with more repetitions of the chorus and the singer repeating his desire not to become an "abuelo" just yet.
Overall, "Muchachita" is a lighthearted and fun salsa song that encourages young people to wait and enjoy their youth without making risky decisions that could lead to early parenthood or other consequences. It also features some clever wordplay, with the repeated use of "chévere" and the playful rhyming between "muchachita" and "abuelo."
