Around & Around / Zapatos de Gamuza Azul
Los Piojos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goin' round and around
Yeah reelin' and a rockin
What a crazy sound
And they never stopped rockin
Till the moon went down
Well it sounds so sweet
I had to take me a chance
I just had to dance
Started movin' my feet
Oh! a clappin' my hands
I said....
Yeah at twelve o'clock
Yeah the place was packed
Front doors was locked
Well the place was packed
Andwhen the police knocked
Those doors flew back
I said... Puedes matar
Y el asesinar
Todo mi dinero
Me puedes robar
Coches nuevos
Puedes chocar
Pero por favor
No me pises ya nunca mis zapatos
Zapatos de gamuza azul
Y no me pisen jamás mis zapatos
De gamuza azul... (repite)
Zapatos de gamuza azul oh oh oh (repite)
The lyrics to Los Piojos's song, "Around & Around/Zapatos de Gamuza Azul," are about a wild party where the music and dancing never stop. The singer describes the scene as a joint that's "rockin" and "reelin' and a rockin" with a "crazy sound." The party keeps going until dawn when the "moon went down." Despite the chaos, the singer feels the music is so sweet that he had to take a chance and dance. The party was so packed that even the front doors were locked, but when the police arrived, the doors flew back open.
The second half of the song introduces a different theme, with the singer addressing a potential threat to his prized possession: his blue suede shoes. He pleads with the listener not to kill, steal, crash cars, or ever step on his shoes. These lyrics bring a new dimension to the song, as they shift the mood from the upbeat party atmosphere to a more personal plea.
Overall, the song is a mix of fun and serious messages. The first half celebrates the joy of music and dancing, while the second half uses a symbolic object to remind us of the importance of our personal belongings.

I said the joint was rockin
I exclaimed that the party was lively and boisterous
Goin' round and around
Everybody was dancing in circular movements
Yeah reelin' and a rockin
Everyone was enjoying and swaying to the music
What a crazy sound
The music was so unique and outrageous
And they never stopped rockin
The music went on without any pause
Till the moon went down
The party continued until late in the night
Well it sounds so sweet
The melody sounds effortlessly melodious
I had to take me a chance
I was compelled to join in the festivities
Rose out of my seat
I stood up from my chair gracefully
I just had to dance
I felt an irresistible urge to move my body to the music
Started movin' my feet
I began dancing with my feet rhythmically
Oh! a clappin' my hands
I was applauding joyfully with my hands
Yeah at twelve o'clock
It was midnight
Yeah the place was packed
The venue was filled with people
Front doors was locked
The entrance was inaccessible
And when the police knocked
The law enforcement officers arrived and knocked on the door
Those doors flew back
The doors opened quickly
I said....
I declared my opinion
Puedes matar
You may kill me
Y el asesinar
And assassinate me
Todo mi dinero
All my money
Me puedes robar
You may steal from me
Coches nuevos
New cars
Puedes chocar
You can crash them
Pero por favor
But please
No me pises ya nunca mis zapatos
Don't ever step on my shoes
Zapatos de gamuza azul
Blue suede shoes
Y no me pisen jamás mis zapatos
And never step on my shoes again
De gamuza azul...
Of blue suede...
Zapatos de gamuza azul oh oh oh
Blue suede shoes
