Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y no me quisó llevar balajű se fué a la guerra
Le dijo a su compañera vamonos a navegar
A ver quien sale primero al otro lado del mar
Agarre su caballo y se le murio en el camino
Ariles y mas ariles, ariles de aquel que fue
Agarré su caballo y se le murió en el tren
Quiero decir y no quiero decir a quien quiero bien
Decir a quien quiero bien quiero decir y no quiero
Porque si digo a quien quiero ya van a saber a quien
Y eso es lo que yo no quiero decir a quien quiero bien
Ariles y mas ariles ariles de aquel que vino
Agarre su caballo y se le murio en el camino
Ariles y mas ariles ariles del mas que fué
Arrebato su caballo y se le murió de sed
Quien le pega a una mujer no tiene perdon de Dios
No tiene perdon de Dios quien le pega a una mujer
No tiene perdon de Dios quien le pega a una mujer
No tiene perdon de Dios si no le pega otra vez
Ariles y mas ariles ariles del jalitlan
Me picaron las abejas pero me comí el panal
Ariles y mas ariles ariles del jalitlan
Me picaron las abejas pero me comí el panal
The lyrics of Los Tres Ases's song "El Balaju" tell the story of a man named Balaju who goes off to war and does not take his loved one with him. Instead, he suggests they go sailing and compete to see who can make it across the ocean first. However, Balaju's horse dies on the journey, and he is left to continue on foot. The singer of the song struggles with wanting to express their feelings for someone, but ultimately decides to keep it a secret because they don't want everyone to know. The song ends with a reminder that hitting a woman is a sin.
While the meaning of the lyrics is somewhat cryptic, they explore themes of longing, secrecy, and violence. The character of Balaju seems to represent a sense of adventure and risk-taking, but his decision to leave his loved one behind ultimately leads to tragedy. Meanwhile, the singer is torn between their desire to express their affection and the fear of being judged by others.
Overall, "El Balaju" is a melancholic song with a haunting melody that captures the feeling of loss and regret. It is a classic example of Latin American folk music and has been covered by numerous artists over the years.
