La Ducati
Mima Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tu novia va a quemarte la Ducati
Porque te vió besándote con Kati
Te va a enseñar cómo calienta su amor

Ya compró gasolina por galones
En la bomba de la Máximo Gómez
y una caja
de Fósforo Sol

Y atrás de un árbol de Jabilla
Va a prenderle fuego a tu niña
quize decir moto amarilla
perdón

Ella que nunca ha sido Iluminati
soñó que el Papa en un Mazerati
la invitaba a tomar Gas Oil
E interpretó dicha señal
como que fuego hay que pegar
a tu transporte regular
tu motor

Ella que nunca ha sido vengativa
lo consultó con su mejor amiga,
María Marta la que es ejecutiva de Knor
Se presignó para poner los algodones en el mofle
Se arrodilló para prender la candela
Dos columnas de humo
llegan hasta el cielo
una blanca
una prienta
dos serpientes de fuego

Lo que tu novia no se imaginaba
era que la Ducati incinerada
le iba a salir en sueño
en pesadillas
y hasta en el arróz
Tu novia es ahora una iniciada
de los asuntos del fuego
y de la nada




y escucha la Ducati en su interior
Ñennnnn-ñennnnn, ñennnn-ñennnn…

Overall Meaning

The song La Ducati by Mima tells the story of a girl who is so hurt and angry after seeing her boyfriend kiss another girl that she plans to burn his motorcycle. She buys gallons of gasoline and matches, and hides behind a tree to light the fire. As she watches the bike go up in flames, she realizes that she has become someone capable of such destruction. She goes on to interpret a dream she had as a sign to set the motorbike on fire, seeking advice from her friend, who helps her carry out the act. In the end, the girl's anger consumes her, and she becomes haunted by the sound of the Ducati's engine in her head.


The lyrics of La Ducati are a powerful representation of the consequences of uncontrolled anger and how it can spiral out of control. The girl’s initial reaction and subsequent planning to destroy the motorbike not only represents her anger towards the boyfriend but also shows her lack of control over her emotions. The final image of the Ducati being heard in her head may suggest that she did not find the peace she was hoping to when she burnt down the bike. These lyrics therefore serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of acting impulsively out of anger and the repercussions of such actions.
