Cualquiera Va
Nelson Henriquez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es mucho lo que hay que andar.
De tu casita a la mía
Es mucho lo que hay que andar.
Pero por una cosita cualquier va
De madrugada, cualquiera va.
Cualquiera va, de madruga′.
Ella era media gamba.
Ella era medio gordita,
Ella era media gamba.
Pero si baja la guagua cualquiera va
De madrugada, cualquiera va.
Cualquiera va, de madruga'.
De la cocina al columbo es mucho lo que hay que andar.
De la cocina al columbo es mucho lo que hay que andar
Pero por una cosita cualquiera va
De madrugada, cualquiera va.
Cualquiera va, de madruga′.
De tu casita a la mía
Es mucho lo que hay que andar.
De tu casita a la mía
Es mucho lo que hay que andar.
Pero por una cosita cualquier va
De madrugada, cualquiera va.
Cualquiera va, de madruga'.
The song "Cualquiera Va" by Nelson Henriquez has a fun and playful tone, with lyrics that speak to the idea that love conquers all, even distance and obstacles. The repeated phrase "De tu casita a la mía/Es mucho lo que hay que andar" highlights the distance between the two lovers' homes, but the chorus reassures us that for the right motivation, anyone will make that journey, even in the wee hours of the morning.
The second verse describes the physical appearance of the woman, emphasizing that she is not conventionally beautiful but that doesn't matter because if she's willing to go out with him, he doesn't care what she looks like. The repetition of "media gamba" is a playful way to describe her body, highlighting that she is not perfect but is still attractive to him.
The final verse again references a long journey, this time from the kitchen to the "columbo" (possibly a colloquial term for a bathroom or outhouse). The emphasis on distance and effort makes the point that love requires sacrifice, but as the chorus reminds us, it's worth it.
Overall, "Cualquiera Va" celebrates the idea that love knows no boundaries, and that even if things are not perfect, if there is a connection between two people, they will find a way to make it work.
