Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No esperes que yo te lleve
Esa sopita en botella
Ni que te compre ese pardo
Ni que te dé esa mesada
Acurrala de abutín
Si quieres sentir la vida bella
Lalararalaa
Oye
Mira muchacho
Tienes los cables cambiaos
Tiene el cerebro tostao
Tú lo que estás es tururato
Si quieres un consejo
Acurrala de abutín
Si quieres poder llegar a viejo
Eh, pero no esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
Yo no te doy la mesada
Ya tú no sirves pa' nada
Vive bien
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
Eh, se te fue la cocinera
Ya tú no puede con ella
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
Eh tienes los cables cambiaos
Y tu cerebro tostao, óyelo
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
Eh, yo no te compro ese pardo
Yo no te doy la mesada
Vive bien
No esperes mi socio
Esa sopita en botella
The lyrics of "La Sopa En Botella" by Celia Cruz and Johnny Pacheco talk about not relying on others to provide for you and to take responsibility for your own life. The song is framed around the metaphor of a "sopita en botella," or soup in a bottle, which represents the idea of relying on handouts or easy solutions instead of working hard and finding your own way. The lyrics warn against this mentality, stating that if you want to truly enjoy the beautiful life, you need to take control and make things happen for yourself.
In the first verse, the singer tells their friend not to expect them to provide the "sopita en botella" or to buy them things or give them money. Instead, they encourage their friend to take control and find their own way to achieve success and happiness. The second verse is directed at a young man who seems to be struggling and not making good choices. The singer advises him to take responsibility for his life and make the most of it, rather than relying on others.
Overall, the song has a strong message of self-reliance and personal responsibility. It encourages listeners to work hard and take charge of their lives, rather than waiting for handouts or relying on others to provide for them.
