Los Rabanes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aunque muchos disimulan no nos pueden imitar
Quien grito revolución,
Quien dijo no va a llegar,
Si te sientes sometido,
No te dejes arrastrar
Digo si conoces a Claribel,
Ella si te jode pero la afloja también,
Ella casi siempre sale en televisión,
Eso te digo yo, I am, I have, caiman and everybody
Eso lo digo yo, algo muy especial

Llevala pa dentro,
Llevala pa dentro, llevala pa dentro
Que después no me arrepiento (x2)
One time, two time, three times,
One time one time
Digo si conoces una tal Soraya,
Ella anda contigo pero me soba la vaina.
Vivo si conoces la discriminación,
Ella se disfraza y te cambia de color.
Eso te digo yo, I am, I have, caiman and everybody
Eso lo digo yo, algo muy especial

The song "Panamá" by Los Rabanes is a celebration of the diverse and unique culture of Panama. The lyrics acknowledge the country's struggles with revolution, repression, and discrimination, but also highlights the resilience of its people. The title itself reflects the pride the band has in their home country, and the song blends various musical genres to create a distinct Panamanian sound.
The opening lines assert the band's dominance in the national music scene, stating that although others may try to imitate them, they are the true "bomba nacional" (national bomb). The lyrics then reference the historical struggles of Panama, from the call for revolution to the ongoing issue of discrimination. However, the song does not dwell on these challenges, but rather celebrates the uniqueness and resilience of Panama's people. The chorus is an upbeat fusion of reggae, punk, and calypso, inviting listeners to join in the celebration of their country's culture.
The verses also include references to specific individuals, adding a personal touch to the song. Claribel, for instance, is described as someone who can be both tough and compassionate, while Soraya is called out for pretending to be someone she's not. These characters add a sense of reality to the lyrics, making them more relatable to listeners.
Overall, "Panamá" is a joyful celebration of all things Panamanian, from its music to its people to its diverse cultural origins.
