La Pulquería Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And en mi barrio you better don't play.
Trabajo sendin'souls al Diablo
Y vivo livin'fuera de la ley.
"Hi mister! he venido a matarle".
Suena the sound of a gun en su head.
Se monta big kilombo en la calle
Y La Huesuda vive a por él.
Oigo que dice una voz.
Cuando la vuelva a encontrar
Esta vez puedo ser yo.
Hoy la muerte me esquiva otra vez.
En sus brazos no me quiere ver.
Hoy La Pelona me canta esta rola.
Ahora soy yo a quien lleva de la mano.
La banda shoot me down su pistola
En primavera y con doce veranos.
"No te quería llevar".
Oigo que dice una voz.
Cuando la vuelva a encontrar
Esta vez puedo ser yo.
Hoy la muerte me esquiva otra vez.
En sus brazos no me quiere ver.
"No te quería llevar"
Oigo que dice una voz.
Cuando la vuelva a encontrar
Esta vez puedo ser yo.
Un día voy a volver.
Te llevo lejos del sol.
Entonces vas a entender
Que hoy bailarás a mi son.
Hoy la muerte me esquiva otra vez.
En sus brazos no me quiere ver
The lyrics to La Huesuda by La Pulqueria tell the story of a criminal who lives outside the law, sending souls to the devil. He is a "ratero" (thief) growing into a "sicario" (assassin) who is feared in his neighborhood. One day, he shows up to kill someone and a gun is placed to his own head. Chaos erupts on the street and La Huesuda, the personification of death, comes for him. The lyrics then feature a repeated line of "No te quería llevar" (I didn't want to take you) which suggests that perhaps the character had a chance to avoid death but didn't take it. The second verse takes a different turn - the singer is shot down by a gang's pistol in the springtime, at only twelve years old.
The third and final verse returns to the original story, with the singer once again evading death. He hears La Pelona, another name for death, singing this song just for him. The line "En sus brazos no me quiere ver" (In her arms she doesn't want to see me) echoes the idea that death has been trying to claim him, but he has been avoiding her grasp. The story concludes with the character feeling confident that one day he will return and take someone far away from the sun, indicating a desire to escape the troubles of his current life. Despite a potentially bleak storyline, the energetic and upbeat music of the song perhaps suggests a sense of resilience and defiance in the face of death and danger.
