Despacito
La Zurda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Despacito cae el mundo boca abajo
Y cae tan despacito que ese camino se hace fulero.
Dicen que en Europa estan mucho mejor.
Y como no van a estarlo, si se llevaron todo el oro.
En America latina hay gran dolor.
Porque fue siempre explotada, para construir este mundo hoy.
Despacito cae el mundo boca abajo
Y cae tan despacito que ese camino ya esta fulero.




Overall Meaning

The song Despacito by La Zurda is a politically-charged track that comes with lyrics that are deeply insightful. The song talks about how the world is falling apart slowly and how the path ahead is not so bright. The opening lines of the song "Despacito cae el mundo boca abajo" translates to "the world is falling upside down slowly" which essentially means that the world is changing in a negative manner and nobody is noticing the same.


The lyrics go on to talk about how Europe is better off as compared to South America because they have all the wealth, having supposedly taken everything that belongs to the latter. South America, on the other hand, is scarred by exploitation that has been carried out here and has been used to construct the world that we live in today. The song Despacito cae el mundo boca abajo stresses on how the downfall of the world is happening slowly but surely and without any prior notice.
