Abajo abajo
Muevete chiquita
Que no ves que estan mirando
Arriba arriba
Abajo abajo
Mueve la cintura
Pa' delante y para un lado.
Linda vaquerita
Si te gustan los caballos
Si quieres montar
Yo te invito a jinetearlos
Mueve la cintura
Sin salirte de la silla
Y coqueta deja
Que te agarre la cintura
Linda vaquerita
Yo se que quieres domarlo
Yo te cuidare
Y te llevare hasta el cielo
Subete y en el
Ya no digas nada arriba.
Arriba arriba
Abajo abajo
Muevete chiquita
Que no ves que estan mirando
Arriba arriba
Abajo abajo
Mueve la cintura
Pa' delante y para un lado.
Linda vaquerita
Quieres sentir emociones
Ponte tu sombrero
Y yo te espero esta noche
Yo te recomiendo
No le digas a tu mami
Porque tu despues
Vas a tener algun reproche.
Linda vaquerita
Yo se que quieres domarlo
Yo te cuidare
Y te llevare hasta el cielo
Subete y en el
Ya no digas nada arriba.
Arriba arriba
Abajo abajo
Muevete chiquita
Que no ves que estan mirando
Arriba arriba
Abajo abajo
Mueve la cintura
Pa' delante y para un lado.
Arriba arriba
Abajo abajo
Muevete chiquita
Que no ves que estan mirando
Arriba arriba
Abajo abajo
Mueve la cintura
Pa' delante y para un lado.
Arriba arriba
Abajo abajo
Muevete chiquita
Que no ves que estan mirando
Arriba arriba
Abajo abajo
Mueve la cintura
Pa' delante y para un lado.
The song "Arriba y Abajo" by La Fe Norteña is an upbeat, lively tune with a catchy chorus that urges the listener to move their body. The lyrics describe a romantic encounter between the singer and a "Linda vaquerita," or beautiful cowgirl. The singer invites the cowgirl to ride horses with him, encouraging her to move her body and be coquettish. He promises to take care of her and show her a good time, but also warns her not to tell her mother. The chorus repeats the phrases "Arriba arriba, abajo abajo, muevete chiquita" ("Up up, down down, move it baby") as a call to action.
On some level, the song can be interpreted as a celebration of traditional Mexican customs and cowboy culture, as evoked by the image of the cowgirl on horseback. However, the lyrics also contain a somewhat predatory undertone; the singer is persistent in his pursuit of the cowgirl despite her potential reservations, and encourages her to be secretive about their activities. Ultimately, the song seems to be more about seduction and temptation than a celebration of cowboy culture.
Overall, "Arriba y Abajo" is a fun, upbeat song with a catchy chorus that encourages movement and dancing. However, its lyrics contain some problematic elements that should be considered in any interpretation.
