Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Esta noche traigo ganas
de darme una borrachera
con mis amigos hoy quiero
tomar hasta que amanesca
Vamos por unas heladas
esa traidora chaparra
quizo jugarme a la gacha
Quizo tumbar al rey de oros
dandole vuelo a la hilacha
ya me llegaron los chismes
que cualquier wey la apapacha
Ya andando ya bien picados
se me hincha la gana
le llevare serenata
Le cantare las canciones
mancornadora, y la chancla
y si me salen tus hermanos
hasta a ellos les parto el alma
Esa traidora chaparra
quizo jugarme a la gacha
Quizo tumbar al rey de oros
dandole vuelo a la hilacha
ya me llegaron los chismes
que cualquier wey la apapacha
Ya andando ya bien picados
se me hincha la gana
le llevare serenata
Le cantare las canciones
mancornadora, y la chancla
y si me salen tus hermanos
hasta a ellos les parto el alma
The lyrics to "El Rey de Oros" by Industria del Amor tell the story of a man who wants to indulge in a drunken night with his friends. However, his plans are interrupted by a woman called "chaparra" who he refers to as a traitor. Apparently, she wanted to deceive him and ruin his reputation as "El Rey de Oros," which translates to "The King of Gold."
Despite the betrayal, the man decides to confront his problems head-on by going to serenade "chaparra" and sing songs that talk about unfaithful women and the power dynamics within a relationship. Hinting at possible violent behavior, he says he will even take on "hermanos" or brothers if they try to intervene.
The song touches on themes of alcoholism, pride, violence, and machismo. The singer's obsession with proving his dominance and machismo at any cost is worrying and can be seen as problematic. It sends a message that violence towards women and other men is acceptable and reinforces gender norms that emphasize male aggression.
