Intro Maradó
Los Piojos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
en casi su mejor gambeta
que ni los sueños respeta
tan lleno va de coraje
sin demasiado ropaje
y sin ninguna careta
Dicen que escapó este mozo
del sueño de los sin jeta
y ataca a los más villanos
sin más armas en la mano
que un "diez" en la camiseta.
The lyrics of Intro Maradó by Los Piojos are an ode to one of the greatest footballers of all time, Diego Maradona, who is known for his incredible skill and determination on the field. The song describes Maradona as someone who has escaped from a dream and is now using his incredible abilities to take on the most powerful and villainous opponents with nothing more than his jersey, number 10.
The opening line "Dicen que escapó de un sueño" (They say he escaped from a dream) implies that Maradona's greatness is almost mythical, as though he was too good to be true. However, the next line "en casi su mejor gambeta" (in almost his best dribble) confirms that his skill is indeed real and awe-inspiring, even in his imagination.
The lyric "que a los poderosos reta y ataca a los más villanos" (he challenges the powerful and attacks the most villainous) highlights Maradona's unrelenting spirit of rebellion and defiance against those who would try to stop him. He is described as wearing "sin demasiado ropaje y sin ninguna careta" (hardly any clothing and without any disguises), suggesting that he is not afraid to expose his true self to the world and fight with all his might.
Overall, the song is an homage to Maradona's incredible talent, courage, and perseverance on and off the field.
