(llegó popeye)
Es el chico más fortachón... ajaja popeye
(Llegó popeye)
Este si parece ciclón... oye popeye
(popeye)
Mirén como quiere pelear
(popeye)
Nadie se le puede acercar

es preferible no provocar al viejo lobo de mar.

Vengan ya, no teman mas.
-Si no me provocan no les voy a pegar-
(Pero popeye)
Miren que picada le cae... wojo popeye
(Pero popeye)
Miren como quier pelear... oye popeye
(popeye)
Viene mas ponchado que un león... popeye
pues sus espinacas comió
es preferible no provocar al viejo lobo de mar.

Vengan ya, no teman más
-Si no me provocan no les voy a pegar-

[miralo ya llegó pesado, pesado]

(llegó popeye)
Por fin nos dejará respirar... ajaja popeye
(Llegó porpeye)
Dejense de tanto temblar... oye popeye
popeye
Todo susto ya terminó...poepeye
pues sus espinacas perdió
es preferible no provocar
al viejo lobo de mar

Vengan ya, no teman mas.

Por fin nos dejará respirar... ajaja popeye
(Pero popeye)
Déjense de tanto temblar... oye popeye

Overall Meaning

The song "Popeye" by Los Apson is an upbeat and humorous Spanish-language ode to the cartoon character Popeye the Sailor Man. The lyrics describe Popeye as the toughest and strongest guy around, someone who can't be provoked or messed with, and someone who loves to fight. The song urges listeners not to be afraid of Popeye as long as they don't provoke him, as he has a tendency to dish out punishment to those who cross him.

The lyrics also reference Popeye's love for spinach, as it is what gives him his strength and makes him even more formidable in a fight. The chorus repeats the message that as long as you don't provoke him, Popeye is someone to be respected and feared, but not necessarily feared in a negative way.
