Cuerpo Cobarde
Los 50 de Joselito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Coro)(BIS).Yo traigo una pena que Dios me la guarde
(BIS). Que te pasa musa, musa que te pasa
(BIS). Entre lasa y tusa, entre tusa y lasa.
A cuerpo cobarde como se menea
(Coro)(BIS). Yo traigo una pea que Dios me la guarde
(BIS). Quien fue el que te dijo que yo no venía
(BIS). porque no tenia un sendero fijo
(Coro) (BIS). Yo traigo una pea que Dios me la guarde.
(BIS). Hombre parrandero no debe morirse
(BIS). Debe divertirse con su compañero
A cuerpo cobarde como se menea
(Coro)(BIS). Yo traigo una pea que Dios me la guarde
(BIS). La puerca conmigo y yo con la puerca.
(BIS). La puerca me gruñe y yo
(Coro)(BIS). Hay que puerca.
A cuerpo cobarde como se menea
(Coro)(BIS). Yo traigo una pea que Dios me la guarde.
The lyrics of Los 50 de Joselito's song "Cuerpo Cobarde" depict a man who is dealing with a deep and painful sorrow, while trying to find solace in nightlife and partying. The line "a cuerpo cobarde como se menea" speaks to his fear and anxiety, which he tries to mask by putting on a brave face and dancing away his troubles. The chorus, which repeats the line "Yo traigo una pena que Dios me la guarde" (I carry a sorrow that may God save me from), further emphasizes his burden, as well as a sense of resignation or acceptance of his fate.
The verses also reflect the man's conflicting emotions - on the one hand, he is trying to move on and maybe even find joy in his life again (as reflected in the lines "hombre parrandero no debe morirse" - partying men should not die, and "debe divertirse con su compañero" - should have fun with their friend). On the other hand, he is still hung up on a past lover or relationship, and may even be in denial or disbelief that they are no longer together (as seen in "quien fue el que te dijo que yo no venía porque no tenía un sendero fijo" - who told you I wasn't coming, because I didn't have a fixed path?).
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a man who is struggling with heartbreak and loss, but is trying to cope in his own way, even if it may not be the most healthy or productive way.
