Mi Carro
Manolo Escobar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mi carro me lo robaron, estando de romería
Mi carro me lo robaron, de noche cuando dormía

¿dónde estará mi carro?. (bis)
¿dónde estará mi carro?. (bis)

Me dicen que le quitaron, los clavos que relucían,
creyendo que eran de oro de limpios que los tenía.

¿dónde estará mi carro?. (bis)

Donde quiera que esté, mi carro es mío,
porque en él me crié allá en el río
si lo llego a encontrar, vendrá conmigo,
en mi carro de amor, por el camino.

Le digo por el camino, hablando con los romeros,
que llevan sobre su pala, mi nombre 'grabao' a fuego.

En mi carro gasté, una fortuna
why en mis noches de amor, llevé la luna




preguntando busqué, por todas partes
why por fin lo encontré, sin aparejos.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Manolo Escobar's song Mi Carro express the singer's pain and distress over the theft of his beloved car while he was on a pilgrimage. The song starts with the repetition of the line "Mi carro me lo robaron" (they stole my car), emphasizing the singer's disbelief and shock at the situation. He wonders where his car could be, repeating the question several times, suggesting that the loss is inexplicable and deeply felt.


In the second stanza, the lyrics reveal some details about the theft. The singer mentions that the thieves removed the shiny nails from his car, mistaking them for gold. This detail adds to the emotional depth of the song, as the singer's attachment to his car is so strong that even the small details that made it unique are missed. The third stanza is more hopeful, as the singer declares that he will reclaim his car, stating that it is still his and that he grew up driving it. He sings of his intention to search for the car and bring it back to him, so he can continue to use it on his travels.


The fourth stanza contains a reference to the community in which the singer lives. He speaks about the pilgrims he encounters on his journey and tells them that his name is permanently "grabao' a fuego" (engraved in fire) on the spade they carry, suggesting that he is well known and respected in his community. The final stanza highlights the sentimental value of the car to the singer, as he speaks of the time and money he invested in it, as well as the memories he made while driving it, including nights spent under the moon. He concludes the song by declaring that he has found his car without any damage and is able to continue his journey in it.

Recuerdo escuchar esta canción cuando era niña con mi abuela. A ella le encantaba y siempre ponía su cinta en el cassette. Ahora soy yo la que le pone este vídeo cada día para que lo vea. Con 90 años, es la única canción que disfruta escuchando 🥰
