Los Amigos Invisibles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que estuviste en Urumita
y no quisiste hacer parranda
Te fuiste de mañanita
sería de la misma rabia (bis)
En mis notas soy extenso
a mi nadie me corrije (bis)
mañana sábado, día e´ la Virgen (bis)
Me lleva el o me lo llevo yo
pa' que se acabe la vaina (bis)
Ay ! Morales a mi no me lleva
porque no me da la gana
Moralito a mi no me lleva
porque no me da la gana.
Qué cultura, que cultura va a tener
un indio chumeca
como Lorenzo Morales
que cultura va a tener si nació en los cardonales (bis).
Morales mienta mi mama
solamente pa' ofender (bis)
para que él también se ofenda
ahora le miento la de él. (bis)
Me lleva el o me lo llevo yo
pa' que se acabe la vaina (bis)
Ay Morales a mi no me lleva
Porque no me da la gana
Moralito a mi no me lleva
Porque no me da la gana
Moralito, Moralito se creía
que el a mí, que él a mí
me iba a ganar
Y cuando me oyó tocar
le cayo la gota fría (bis)
Al cabo e´ la compartía
el tiro le salió mal (bis)
The song "Asomacho" by Los Amigos Invisibles is a lively, energetic fusion of different styles, including Latin pop, funk, and jazz. The lyrics are in Spanish and are full of wordplay and wit, which can make them challenging to interpret, particularly for non-native speakers. However, upon closer inspection, it seems clear that the song is about a group of friends who are getting ready to play music together on Saturday, but one of them, Moralito, is not quite into it. He bailed on a party in Urumita, which makes the others annoyed. They make fun of him for being culturally limited and tease him about his lack of musical talent. However, when they start playing, Moralito realizes that his friends are better than he thought, and he falls in line. The song is full of playful jabs, but it also ultimately celebrates the joy of music and friendship.
The lyrics are particularly interesting because they use a lot of Colombian slang and cultural references that might be unfamiliar to non-Spanish-speaking listeners. For example, "Urumita" is a town in northern Colombia, and "parranda" is a party involving traditional Colombian music. "Chumeca" describes a person who is not very sophisticated, while "gota fría" is a type of Colombian music characterized by complex rhythms. The song also references the Catholic holiday of the Day of the Virgin, which is celebrated in many Latin American countries.
