Joder
Los de Abajo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No sabes cuántos años nos ha costado
Mantenerte en este estado
De pobreza why desagrado?

?con las manos
Atadas a las espaldas
De puerquito te he agarrado
¿Cuántas veces te he encajado
Este filo por el costado?
Con miedo te tengo
Orillado, atado sin educación

Así nos quieren joder (Repeat)

Me has dado
Todo el poder en estas manos
why con las mismas mato
why con las mismas robo
Me chingo a tus padres why a tus hermanos
Me los traigo bien cortitos
Dando impuestos como esclavos
why a la tumba me los llevo
Ya que ni los tengo tranquilos
why a salvo con seguro social

¡Eh, eh, eh eh?!

Vendemos al país con los tratados
why teniéndolos bien tarados
No nos quitarán los puestos

¡Los queremos bien dispuestos! (Repeat)





Así nos quieren joder (Repeat)

Overall Meaning

The song "Joder" by Los de Abajo is a powerful critique of the social and economic inequalities that many people in Mexico face. The lyrics pose a series of questions about the causes of poverty and desperation, questioning why so many people are left in such dire circumstances. The singer notes that he has had to resort to violence and manipulation to survive, taking advantage of those around him to maintain his own power and control. He acknowledges that fear is a powerful motivator for many people, and that those who are uneducated and disengaged from the world around them are particularly vulnerable to exploitation.


The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the message that the powers that be are actively working to "joder" or screw over the people, using their positions of authority to enrich themselves at the expense of those who are less fortunate. The second verse highlights the ways in which this manifests, with the singer boasting about his willingness to do whatever it takes to maintain his own power and wealth, including exploiting his own family members and selling out his own country through trade deals that benefit the rich and powerful.


Overall, the song is a powerful call to action, urging listeners to wake up to the injustices around them and to fight back against those who are determined to keep them down.
