Mi Deporte Favorito
Ilegales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aunque me llamen Don Juan el Cojonazos
Me inició mi profesora de francés
Y desde entonces no me puedo contener
Es mi deporte favorito, el adulterio
¿Qué le voy a hacer yo si a mí el amor nunca me toma en serio?
Cuando el alcohol me sube a la cabeza
Ligo en la forma más triste conocida
Utilizando la debilidad humana
Ni para el más imbécil es ningún secreto
Que la gente cambia sexo por un poco de cariño
Es mi deporte favorito, el adulterio
¿Qué le voy a hacer yo si a mí el amor nunca me toma en serio?
Cuando el alcohol me sube a la cabeza
Mi atrevimiento suple mi total falta de belleza
Aquí todo es muy solitario
Y sé que un día me apagaré
Esto sólo puede empeorar
Tarde o temprano la juventud empezará a faltarme
Sé que se acerca la última aventura
Se acerca ya mi eterna noche solitaria
Es mi deporte favorito, el adulterio
¿Qué le voy a hacer yo si a mí el amor nunca me toma en serio?
Cuando el alcohol me sube a la cabeza
Mi atrevimiento suple mi total falta de belleza
The lyrics to Ilegales' song "Mi Deporte Favorito" explore the theme of adultery and the singer's perspective on love and relationships. The opening lines introduce the singer as a shameless Don Juan, although he acknowledges that he is not highly regarded even among Don Juans. He reveals that he was initiated into this lifestyle by his French teacher and since then, he cannot control himself.
The chorus declares that adultery is the singer's favorite sport, as love never takes him seriously. When he consumes alcohol, it emboldens him and compensates for his perceived lack of physical attractiveness. He describes his approach to seduction as the saddest and most pitiful way known, taking advantage of human weakness. He laments that even the most foolish person knows that people trade sex for a bit of affection.
In the final verse, the singer expresses a sense of loneliness and acknowledges that he will eventually fade away. He believes that things will only get worse and that youth will eventually elude him. He senses that his last adventure is approaching and anticipates his eternal solitary night.
In summary, the lyrics of "Mi Deporte Favorito" delve into the singer's indulgence in adultery as a consequence of the love he feels is never reciprocated, fueled by alcohol and a desire to compensate for his perceived lack of attractiveness.
