Apañon
Maldita Vecindad Y Los Hijos Del Quinto Patio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Las patrullas sin dudar, buscando a quien apañar
Dentro de una Paco y Juan, alias monstruo y el silbar
Recorren por quinta vez, la guerrero y la merced
En la esquina ven cruzar, a la victima ideal
Juan acelera, Paco le dijo espera
Vamos a agarrar al infeliz como si fuera lombriz
Date la vuelta en U y échale la luz
Vamos Juan no lo dejes ir, que a la esquina quiere huir
Es un tonto iralo bien y Panchito ha de ser
Hey tu que haces aquí, caminando en la calle vestido así
Pues discúlpeme señor, pero yo no soy doctor
Y yo camino aquí, pues no tengo un grand marquis
Es un tipo cara de wey, y te burlas de la ley
Y te vamos a enseñar que la vas a respetar
Pégale aquí pégale alla uoh hu
En un sucio callejón, despiertas sin recordar
Nada de lo que paso, te duelen hasta los pies
No traes chamarra, no traes dinero
No traes zapatos y ya no traes pelo
Sales de ese callejón, corriendo!
The lyrics of "Apañon" by Maldita Vecindad Y Los Hijos Del Quinto Patio depict a scene in a city at night where the police are searching for someone to arrest. The group of young men in the song are watching the police trucks pass by, knowing that anyone could be the next victim. They spot a man who looks like an easy target, and chase him down with their own car, determined to catch him as if he were a worm. The man in question tries to explain that he is not doing anything wrong, but the young men do not believe him, and beat him up in a dirty alleyway.
On a deeper level, the lyrics are a commentary on the corrupt policing practices that are common in many parts of the world. The young men in the song are portrayed as bullies who enjoy using their power to hurt others, and their victim is an innocent man who just happens to look like an easy target. The lyrics suggest that this kind of violence and abuse of power is a normal part of life in the city, and that those who try to resist or speak out against it are likely to end up just like the victim in the song.
