Los Iberos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
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 phrase "lo corto y lo ancho" refers metaphorically to the idea of not getting caught up in material possessions or societal expectations. It suggests that the singer is not concerned with what they wear or how they live, as these external factors do not define their happiness. They are described as a good person, and that alone brings them joy, regardless of their appearance or 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. The singer portrays a level of gratitude and acceptance, being satisfied with what is available and not seeking or desiring more. The instrumental section further amplifies the carefree and easygoing vibe of the song.
Overall, "Corto y Ancho" conveys the idea that true happiness does not come from material possessions or adhering to societal norms, but rather from embracing a simple and content way of living.

Mi primer tema aprendido con aquella guitarra 🎸. El otro era Hey Jude. Increíbles e inolvidables Iberos.
