Aquella Chica
Los Fresones Rebeldes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La soledad envuelve a aquella chica
Que está en la barra medio tirada,
Pendiente sólo de su pensamiento
Que el diablo sabe en dónde está.

Los popis ni la miran y si lo hacen
Sólo critican con ironía.
Y aquella chica sigue en su galaxia
La mar de triste, aunque no se note por su expresión.

Parece un osito de peluche
Que sacó alguien de la basura.
La pisan sin querer y no responde
No tiene huesos, es de algodón.

Qué terrible balance estará haciendo
Si aún no ha cumplido los viente años.
Todo el mundo parece divertirse
Y también ella aunque no se note por su expresión.

No te preguntes por aquella chica,
Todo es mentira, está actuando.
Hoy le tocaba el turno a Janis Joplin
Y ella es esclava de su papel.

La gente son comparsas en su vida
Que ella recicla en cada instante.




Tendrías que verla sin maquillaje,
Es tan distinta, aunque no se note por su expresión.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Fresones Rebeldes's song Aquella Chica describe a young woman at a bar, enveloped in solitude and lost in her thoughts. The singer notes that the surrounding "popis" (a Spanish term for hyper-fashionable young people) do not pay her any mind, and if they do, they do so with mockery. Despite her apparent aloofness and sadness, the woman seems to find consolation in her own internal world; the lyrics refer to her as being lost in her "galaxy".


The song contrasts the perception of the woman by others with her internal reality, highlighting that appearances can be deceiving. The singer seems to feel empathy for the woman, observing that "all the world seems to be having fun" while she remains isolated, but also suggesting that perhaps she is performing a role in her own life as the Janis Joplin of the moment. The lyrics ultimately suggest that the woman is more complex and multifaceted than she appears, and that those who take the time to look beneath the surface may be surprised by what they find.


Overall, Aquella Chica is a poignant and insightful song that explores themes of isolation, disillusionment, and self-expression. Its lyrics offer a revealing glimpse into the inner world of its protagonist, and its call for empathy and understanding is as relevant today as it was when the song was first released in 1996.
