Corto Y Ancho
Los Iberos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Siempre me puse lo corto y lo ancho
No consiste en el vestir y el vivir
Todos me dicen que soy buen muchacho
Y con eso soy feliz, corto y ancho en el vestir

Siempre comí de lo que hubiera
Siempre bebí lo que me dieran
Siempre vestí lo que tuviera
Siempre comí de lo que hubiera
Siempre bebí lo que me dieran
Siempre vestí lo que tuviera

INSTRUMENTAL

Siempre comí de lo que hubiera
Siempre bebí lo que me dieran
Siempre vestí lo que tuviera
Siempre comí de lo que hubiera
Siempre bebí lo que me dieran
Siempre vestí lo que tuviera

Corto y ancho, corto y ancho




Corto y ancho, corto y ancho
Corto y ancho, corto y ancho

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Corto y Ancho" by Los Iberos express a carefree and content attitude towards life. The phrase "Siempre me puse lo corto y lo ancho" can be understood as the singer's approach to life, where they choose to embrace a simple and easygoing lifestyle.

The repetition of lines like "Siempre comí de lo que hubiera" (I always ate what there was), "Siempre bebí lo que me dieran" (I always drank what they gave me), and "Siempre vestí lo que tuviera" (I always wore what I had) reinforces this laid-back and content approach to life.
