Los Piojos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no dejes que te den el tiro, cuando empezs a aletear.
Si vos quers estar libre, cuidate de mendigar,
que haya un hachazo en tu ojo, pero una flor en tu ojal... sin
Chac tu chac! Chac tu chac! Chac tu chac! tu chac chac!
Si vos quers estar libre, tomas cualquier elixir,
ella se hare visible, ella se hare sentir.
El rey es rey porque baila, pero se puede caer.
Chac tu chac! tu chac chac! chac tu chac! tu chac chac!
Si vos quers estar libre, si quers alto volar,
no dejes que te den el tiro, cuando empezs a aletear.
El rey es rey porque baila, pero se puede caer.
Bailars sobre la cscara de banana cuando?... cuando te pongas de pie.
Chac tu chac! tu chac chac! chac tu chac! tu chac chac!
The lyrics of Los Piojos's song "Chac tu chac" speak about freedom and self-care. The first stanza advises the listener to not let others bring them down when they are starting to spread their wings and fly high. The second stanza speaks about taking care not to beg for things and to have flowers in their lapel instead of being injured. The chorus "Chac tu chac" is a repetitive chant that seems to be a call to action, perhaps of confidence or power, and the following stanza talks about taking an elixir that will help the listener feel and see things in a new way. The last part of the song speaks about kings and the importance of dancing, but warns of being careful not to slip and fall.
Through the use of poetic language and imagery, Los Piojos conveys a message about the importance of being true to oneself and not giving up in the face of adversity. They encourage listeners to embrace their freedom, take care of themselves, and pursue their dreams, even if it means dancing on a precarious surface. The song is an uplifting and motivational piece that speaks to the human desire for autonomy and self-expression.
