Hola Mamoncete
Ilegales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El guarda en su bolsillo todo lo que vas a buscar
Hola mamoncete qué haces por aquá
Buscas algo que comprar
Comerciante libre de impuestos en la clandestinidad
No hace falta que digas nada, ya sabe lo que vas a buscar
Hola mamoncete qué haces por aquá
Con su mano en el arma espera en la entrada del bar
No le importa si es bueno o malo, el negocio no da para má¡s
The lyrics to "Hola Mamoncete" by Ilegales tell the story of a shady dealer who waits outside a bar for customers, ready to sell them whatever they are looking for. The opening line describes the man as bald-headed, which suggests that he may be older or more experienced in his trade. The second line implies that he has everything his customers might want hidden away in his pocket, likely drugs or other illegal goods.
The chorus, "Hola mamoncete qué haces por aquá, buscas algo que comprar," translates to "Hello little man, what are you doing here? Looking for something to buy." This further emphasizes the power dynamic between the dealer and the customer - the dealer is in control and knows what the customer wants before they even speak.
The third verse adds a layer of danger and violence to the situation, stating that the dealer is armed as he waits for customers. It also suggests that he is willing to do whatever it takes to stay in business, regardless of whether or not the goods he sells are harmful or illegal.
Overall, "Hola Mamoncete" paints a picture of a seedy underground market where people seek out goods and services that are not available through legal channels. The lyrics suggest that this trade is dangerous and unpredictable, with the dealer holding all the power.
