Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Higale! Ohopa!
El galeón español llego con la jr. Palacios, sigue!
Estaba yo recordando junto al mar,
en una tarde tibia del sol,
La historia que mi abuelo solía contar
de aquel viejo Galeón Español.
imponente navegar,
hacia el cielo su palo mayor,
en el timón su bravío capitán
embriagado de salitre y ron.
Coro:
El Galeón Español llegó,
dejando una estela en el mar,
el Galeón Español llegó,
dejando una estela en el mar.
Al aire su bandera,
su estampa señera,
su mundo ha de conquistar.
Al aire su bandera,
su estampa señera,
tu mundo ha de conquistar.
El Galeón Español llegó,
dejando una estela en el mar,
el Galeón Español llegó,
dejando una estela en el mar.
Al aire su bandera,
su estampa señera,
su mundo ha de conquistar.
Al aire su bandera,
su estampa señera,
tu mundo ha de conquistar.
Esooo, para volverse loco, con sabor.
Aanda!
He!
Loco, loco
Así me llamn la gente
Por quererte tanto
Eres mí amor imposible
Eres mí amor imposible.
Eres linda patrona
También besa como ninguna,
Mi vida te pertenence
Yo soy humilde peón.
Una voz en la montaña
En la noche escucho
Tan lejana y triste
Es la voz de mama
Agua que no es de beber
Dejala correr
Agua que no es de beber
Dejala correr
Agua que no es de beber
Dejala correr
Agua que no es de beber
Dejala correr
y sigue, sigue la jarana compadre, con la junior palacios.
Y llego la arañita..
Si te pica esa arañita
te vas a poner a llorar
si te pica esa arañita
te vas a poner a llorar
yo corriendo ire pa´tu casa
para poderte consolar
yo corriendo ire pa´tu casa
para poderte consolar
yo no quiero que a ti te pique
no me gusta verte llorar
yo no quiero que a ti te pique
no me gusta verte llorar
No debiera jugar con ella
pa´que no te vaya a picar
No debiera jugar con ella
pa´que no te vaya a picar.
Ayayai la arañita te va a picar
Ayayai y vas a ponerte a llorar
Ayayai la arañita te va a picar
Ayayai y vas a ponerte a llorar.
Ayayai la arañita te va a picar
Ayayai y vas a ponerte a llorar
Ayayai la arañita te va a picar
Ayayai y vas a ponerte a llorar.
The lyrics of L.A. Transit's song Agua De Beber paint a vivid imagery of a story being recollected by the singer by the ocean. The story revolves around a magnificent Spanish galleon that the singer's grandfather used to talk about. The ship is described as an imposing vessel with its main mast pointing towards the sky, captained by a brave and daring captain who was intoxicated with salt water and rum. The chorus talks about how the Spanish galleon left a trail in the sea, as it sailed across the ocean, carrying its flag high and with a noble purpose to conquer the world. The chorus is repeated with a change in the third line, as the singer talks about the Spanish galleon with nostalgia.
The second part of the lyrics shifts gears, and the singer talks about how much he loves someone who is seemingly unattainable. His love is impossible, and he is called "loco" by people because of it. He calls his love his patrona, and even though he is a humble peon, he is ready to do anything for her. A brief shift in tone happens when the singer talks about a voice he hears in the night, which happens to be his mother's. The lyrics conclude with the singer warning someone not to play with a spider, as it might sting them.
Overall, the lyrics of Agua De Beber contain various themes like nostalgia, unattainable love, and caution. The description of the Spanish galleon and the singer's memories of his grandfather make for compelling imagery. The conclusion of the lyrics with a warning about the spider seems unexpected but adds a layer of caution to the narrative.
