La Bala
La Mosca Tse-Tse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Te toco la cintura
y tu cintura no me alcanza.
Te sacaste la ropa
y ya sin ropa no me alcanza.

Estuve con amigos
que ya no me dejan nada.
La música se mete
en lo profundo de mi alma.

Porque.
Hoy estoy para la bala.
Hoy estoy para la bala.

Los diarios son un fiasco
de mentiras solapadas.
La gente se amontona
cuando ya no pasa nada.

Te vi en el noticiero
justo cuando te tirabas.
Hay fiesta en lo del Gordo
y a mi no me importa nada.

Porque.
Hoy estoy para la bala.
Hoy estoy para la bala.

Vos no me conocés.
Vos no sabés,
lo que soy capaz de hacer.
Vos no sabés. Vos no sabés.
Si te miro y ya no sé más quien sos.

Te toco la cintura
y tu cintura no me alcanza.
Te sacaste la ropa
y ya sin ropa no me alcanza.

Estuve con amigos
que ya no me dejan nada.
La música se mete
en lo profundo de mi alma.

Porque.
Hoy estoy para la bala.




Hoy estoy para la bala.
Hoy estoy para la bala.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to La Mosca Tse-Tse's song La Bala describe a sense of apathy and detachment from the world around the singer. They touch the waist of the person they are with, but even that closeness does not satisfy them. They see the news, filled with lies and people only coming together when there is nothing else to do. They feel like they are meant for something more, something dangerous – "hoy estoy para la bala" which can be translated to mean "today I am ready for the bullet".


The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the idea that the singer is feeling particularly disconnected from the world today. They are restless and craving something more, something that takes them outside of their mundane existence. This idea is reinforced by the lyrics "te vi en el noticiero justo cuando te tirabas" which roughly translates to "I saw you on the news just as you were jumping off." This line conjures up imagery of someone jumping off a building, which reflects the singer's sense of restlessness and the desire for a release.


Ultimately, the song paints a picture of someone who is feeling disconnected and bored with their surroundings, and is looking for something to shake them out of their complacency. The meaning of the lyrics is left open-ended, allowing the listener to interpret them in their own way.
