El Chorro
Los Auténticos Decadentes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya nadie lo pone en duda
Por maestría y calidad
Sos el capo del choreo
Punga tu especialidad
El terror de los bolsillos
Pero al pobre no afanas
Por un misero aguinaldo
No te me vas a ensuciar

Te das vida de magnate
La tenés y la tirás
Como llega el mango fácil
Vos así lo patinás
Por alergia al laburo
Elegiste esta profesión
Que el destino a vos un día
En tu vida te enseñó

Que alergia que te da
Si hablan de trabajar
Por eso vos te hiciste chorizo
No querés laburar

Sos folklore de este barrio
Personaje sin igual
Ni en las series de la tele
Te pudieron igualar
Si el choreo se hace deporte
Y al país representás
Estoy seguro que ese año
Salimos campeón mundial

Que alergia que te da
Si hablan de trabajar




Por eso vos te hiciste chorizo
No querés laburar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Auténticos Decadentes's El Chorro song are about a thief who has honed his craft to the point where he is considered the master of the art. He is known for his skill and quality in stealing, and his specialty is pickpocketing. He is feared by people who carry wallets but he never steals from the poor. He has made a career from stealing, and he is no stranger to splashing money around. He lives the life of a magnate, but he earns his money through easy means, which he spends extravagantly. He chose to be a thief because he has an aversion to work, and he has become an exceptional character in the neighborhood where he operates.
