Los Patanes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuentame como te ha ido
Si has conocido la felicidad
Cuentame como te va
Yo por aqui muy bien
Y tu por alla bien pisada

Ahora les voy a contar
Algo que me sucedio

Yo que la queria tanto
Pero se fue y me dejo
Queria hacerse famosa
Queria ganarse un grammy
Y salio a probar su suerte
Avion destino a Miami

Cuentame como te ha ido
Si has conocido la felicidad
Cuentame como te va
Yo por aqui muy bien
Y tu por alla bien pisada

Dice que se siente bien
Que Miami es la locura
Pero le falta su Guate
Los patanes y el miercoles de cumbia
Dice que tiene dinero (mentira)
El carro que ella soño (si pues)
Pero no encuentra en Miami
Lo que en su Guate dejo
Y ahora me llama llorando

Dice que no encuentra el modo
Que no se...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Patanes's song Cuentame are about a conversation between two friends who haven't seen or spoken to each other in a long time. The singer initiates the conversation by asking the other person how they've been and if they've found happiness. The second verse is a personal anecdote about the singer's former lover who left him to pursue fame and success in Miami. The listener is then asked again about their well-being, to which they respond positively. The final part of the song is the singer's ex-girlfriend reaching out to him to express her regrets about leaving and not being able to find the same fulfillment in Miami that she left behind in her hometown.

The song is a reflection on the pitfalls of ambition and the cost of pursuing fame and fortune. At its core, it's a story about the importance of staying grounded and remembering where you came from. The lyrics suggest that happiness is not something that can be easily found, especially if one gives up everything they have for fame and success. In this sense, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of chasing dreams without considering the impact it has on one's personal life and relationships.
