Celoso
Los Bukis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y unos labios muy rojos
Hoy ando todo al revés y me salió lo celoso
Hasta dicen por ahí que soy un escandaloso
Todos me han de perdonar
Pero es que mi chaparrita
Para mí es y será de todas la más bonita
A mí no me importa que digan
Cuando vas conmigo que soy un celoso
Porque antes de ti no había nadie
Que hiciera sentirme feliz y orgulloso
Todos me han de perdonar
Pero es que mi chaparrita
Para mí es y será de todas la más bonita
Y no la puedo dejar ni un momentito solita
A mí no me importa que digan
Cuando vas conmigo que soy un celoso
Porque antes de ti no había nadie
Que hiciera sentirme feliz y orgulloso
The lyrics of Los Bukis' song "Celoso" express the singer's jealousy and protectiveness over his "chaparrita," or shorty, who has captured his heart with her brown eyes and red lips. The singer admits that he can be a bit of a drama queen, but he cannot bear to leave his love alone for even a moment. He is willing to put up with others' judgment of his jealousy because she is the first person who has made him truly happy and proud.
The song captures the intensity of young love and the irrationality that often comes with it. The singer is willing to be labeled as "celoso," or jealous, in order to protect his love and keep her by his side. It is a universal feeling that many can relate to, as we have all felt an overwhelming desire to keep our loved ones close.
The song also reflects the traditional gender roles within Latin culture, with the man being the protector and provider for his "chaparrita." Despite this, the singer's love for his partner is evident and celebrated, stating that she is the "most beautiful" above all others.
Overall, "Celoso" is a passionate love song that portrays the intensity and protectiveness that can come with young love.
