El Taxista
LA ENERGIA NORTEÑA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fui lavaplatos, mesero y cocinero
Peón y albañil, ayudante de mecánica
Un mil usos cualquiera
Pero ahora les quiero contar cuando era taxista
Un día un joven me abordo y me dijo
!Ey chófer! písele al gas
Párese por favor, voy a comprar flores para mi amor
Y fui manejando
a su mando y el cantando seguí
si si si manejando y el silbando con sus flores
En cuanto llegamos a la dirección
me dijo que lo esperara y corrió a buscarla
Después de unos minutos
aquel león que llevaba yo de pasajero
regreso convertido en el mas pequeño ratón -Y me dijo!
Ey chófer. Dele otra vez, me equivoque esta calle no es
Dígame a que lugar, lejos de aquí
vaya sin preguntar
Y fui manejando, y el llorando con sus flores,
segui si si si manejando y el tirando lindas flores
In "El Taxista," LA ENERGIA NORTEÑA tells a story of a taxi driver who has held many jobs in his life, including dishwasher, waiter, cook, day laborer, mechanic's assistant, and a jack-of-all-trades. He recalls a particular day when a young man boarded his taxi and instructed him to step on the gas urgently. It transpires that the young man had missed his lover so much that he wanted to buy her flowers. He sang along to the music as the driver maneuvered the car, and when they got to their destination, he asked the driver to wait while he delivered the flowers to his lover. However, upon his return, the once confident young man was now reduced to tears, requesting the driver to take him away from the street and far from that place without any questions asked.
The song depicts the taxi driver's reminiscence of his past, which is filled with various odd jobs. The song also emphasizes the simplicity of life and how it is the little things, such as buying flowers for a loved one, that can bring true joy. Driving the young man around and watching him transform from a confident lion to a timid mouse within a few minutes, the driver remembers to be grateful for the small things in life.
