Adiós Papá
Los Ronaldos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
nos iremos a casa de tu papá
llamaré a la puerta, nos esconderemos
tiraremos piedras para no quedar bien
Y cuando piensen quién ha sido le diremos que no,
no han sido tus amigos, allí nadie quedó.
ya no sabes qué hacer
Adiós papá, adiós papá,
consíguenos un poco de dinero más (x2)
más dinero
Contarás las noches largas como serpientes
dormiras debajo de la cama otra vez
y todo el mundo escucha lo que les vas a decir
para decirte que está mal, para decirte no está bien
ya no sabes qué hacer
(x2)
Adiós papá, adiós papá,
consíguenos un poco de dinero más (x2)
más dinero
Esta noche voy a cogerte bien
nos iremos a casa de tu papá
llamaré a la puerta, nos esconderemos
tiraremos piedras para no quedar bien
Y cuando piensen quién ha sido le diremos que no
no han sido tus amigos, allí nadie quedó
ya no sabes qué hacer
Adiós papá, adiós papá,
consíguenos un poco de dinero más (x2)
más dinero
The lyrics to Los Ronaldos's song "Adios Papa" describe a sense of rebellion and desperation by a couple who are seemingly struggling financially. The song talks about a plan to go to the girl's father's house, sneak in and hide, and then throw stones to cause a disturbance, ultimately blaming it on someone else. This plan is fueled by their need for more money, which is repeatedly mentioned throughout the song. The couple is depicted as feeling backed into a corner, as they desperately count the nights and try to come up with a way out of their financial situation.
The repeated chorus of "Adios Papa, consíguenos un poco de dinero más" (Goodbye Dad, get us a little more money) is a clear indication of the couple's state of mind. The lyrics suggest that their need for money has pushed them to act recklessly and without regard for the consequences, as they plan to cause a disturbance and blame it on someone else. The end of the song repeats the verse about going to the father's house, but this time it includes the line "cuando volvamos ya tendremos más" (when we come back, we'll have more), indicating that they hope to find some sort of solution to their financial problems.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a couple in a desperate situation, willing to take risks and act against social norms to improve their situation. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the urgency of their need for money and highlights the many challenges that they are facing.
