Cantando En El Baño
María Barracuda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cantando en el baño, me acuerdo mucho de ti
No se por que ha de ser alli, no se por que a de ser alli, alli, alli, alli, alliiiiiii
Y es que, cuando me baño, es que, pues yo me sobo, y es que, pues yo me acuerdo, y es que, te quiero mucho
Cantando en el baño, me acuerdo mucho de ti
Este es el corrido del caballo flaco
Que salio un domingo de Guadalajara
Pues llevaba a arriba a Don Agustin Lara
Esta imitacion del carnal agustin, es a su favor y por que es compadre mio, dice:
Hermanos del alma,
Esta vida ya no la veo como negocio,
Yo creo que unos meses mas,
Y prrrr, good bye.
Esta vida cada dia se me acorta
Y mi noche es larga, larga, larga
Ya no me importa si se me alarga o se me acorta
Ya no me importa si se acorta o se me alarga
Sufrir, sufrir esa es mi vida
Llorar, llorar esa es mi suerte
Estoy muy flaco para estar vivo,
Pero muy gordo para estar muerto
Y mientras yo soyoso
Como se rie el senor que entierra en el pozo
Cantando en el bano, me acuerdo mucho de ti
The lyrics of Maria Barracuda's song "Cantando En El Baño" express a sense of longing and affection for an individual. The line "Cantando en el baño, me acuerdo mucho de ti" translates to "Singing in the bathroom, I think of you a lot." The singer is reminiscing about their interactions with the person and how they miss them. The repetition of "alli" adds emphasis to the location of where they seem to miss the person the most - the bathroom. The singer describes their routine of showering and washing themselves, which reminds them of the person they're missing.
The second part of the lyrics switches to a different theme and style, telling the story of "El corrido del caballo flaco," which translates to "The Ballad of the Skinny Horse." The lyrics describe the story of a horse who is ridden by a nobleman and how even though the horse is thin, it is still able to carry the rider. The singer then goes on to speak of themselves, referencing the famous songwriter Don Agustin Lara in admiration. The lyrics express a sense of resignation towards life, with the singer stating that they no longer see their life as a business and will be leaving soon. The lyrics then talk about the singer's acceptance of their fate, with the line "sufrir, sufrir, esa es mi vida" translating to "suffer, suffer, that is my life."
