Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Al fondo, a la derecha
Tras la barra del bar
Chicas duras y apretadas
El tatuaje de los años
Escrito en la cara

Nunca tienen novio
O sí, que más da

Dicen haber visto
Muchos árboles pasar
Fuman, beben
Y hablan con los hombres
Creen que saben seducir

A través de los años
Lo saben todo de ti
De hoteles y camerinos
Siempre están ahí
Fuman, beben
Y hablan con los hombres

Al abrigo de la madrugada
Sin nada que decir
En las noches cansadas
No tienen prisa por partir

Las chicas del Roxy
Fuman, beben
Y hablan con los hombres

Las chicas del Roxy
Qué barbaridad.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Loquillo Y Trogloditas's song Las Chicas Del Roxy depict a group of tough and tight girls behind the bar at Roxy, a popular nightclub. The tattoo of time is written on their faces, and they never seem to have boyfriends or care about anyone else's opinion. They believe they can seduce any man that comes their way, and they smoke, drink, and talk to the men who visit them with ease. They have been around for years and boast of knowing everything about various hotel rooms and dressing rooms where they have been with the men they've seduced.

There is a sense of mystery pervading the song, and the girls appear to be self-reliant and independent. They don't mind being alone and don't have any urgency to leave in the tired nights. They seem to hold all the power and knowledge while the men that come to them are portrayed as weak and vulnerable. The use of phrases like "qué barbaridad" enhances the feeling of awe and admiration for the girls' confidence and knowledge.

Overall, the song portrays these girls as strong, self-reliant, and powerful women that hold all the power over men. It's a song that celebrates their independence and confidence in being able to seduce anyone they choose.
