Cumpleaños Feliz
Mamá Ladilla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuchillas en el flan,
cicuta en el faisán,
tornillos en el pan.

Verruga en el pezón,
patada en el riñón,
especie en extinción.
Mordisco de caimán,
gobierno talibán,
canción de Llorlli Dan.

Frenazo en el calzón,
secuestro en el avión,
rotura de condón.

Latidos en la sien,
relleno en el sostén,
choque frontal de tren.

Mojón en el jardín,
maestro de latín,
disco rallao de Queen.

Fuego en el almacén,
cornudo en el Belén,
ratón en la sartén.

Moco de Mr Bean,
señor con peluquín,
emanación de orín

Enterradores glam,
veneno de alacrán,
cancelación de plan.

Rotura de tendón,
visita de gorrón,
cartón de Don Simón.

Abuela de Froilán,
deposición de can,
composición de Onán.

Castigo en el rincón,




colirio de limón,
tu cuerpo en el cajón.

Overall Meaning

The song "Cumpleaños Feliz" by Mamá Ladilla has a highly sarcastic tone and paints a picture of various unpleasant situations that one might encounter on their birthday. The lyrics use a series of contrasting images - on one hand, conventional birthday celebrations, and on the other hand, unpleasant and even grotesque experiences. The lines "Cuchillas en el flan, cicuta en el faisán, tornillos en el pan" (razor blades in the flan, hemlock in the pheasant, screws in the bread) set the tone for the song, and from there it becomes progressively more absurd and dark. The phrases "Mojón en el jardín, maestro de latín, disco rallao de Queen" (a turd in the garden, a Latin teacher, a scratched Queen record) and "Abuela de Froilán, deposición de can, composición de Onán" (Froilán's grandmother, dog poop, Onan's composition) are examples of the bizarre and unexpected pairings that characterize the song.


The song is a commentary on the often-insincere nature of birthday celebrations and the pressure that people feel to make their birthday a "special day". By juxtaposing the bleak and the banal, Mamá Ladilla seems to be making a statement about the absurdity of trying to make one day stand out from the rest. At the same time, the song is a celebration of sorts - by acknowledging the darker aspects of life, the lyrics offer a kind of release and catharsis.


Overall, "Cumpleaños Feliz" is a wildly imaginative and irreverent song that delights in juxtaposing the grim and the mundane. The lyrics are full of surprises, and the shifting tone of the song keeps the listener engaged throughout.
