Rayada
Onda Vaga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y darnos cuenta que a veces nos cuesta
Trágate las palabras y ahórrate las miradas
No te planches el pelo
Sacúdime ahí abajo, me gusta
Pelirrojas,
Lo que sea, una copa por la mitad
Me roza, me agarra
Me mima, me toca
Me sacude, me habla despacio al oido
Pero después se sonroja
¡Que boba!
Rayada
Estás rayada como una cebra
The song "Rayada" by Onda Vaga speaks of the confusion that can occur between two people in a romantic relationship. The lyrics suggest that sometimes the desire to express affection can be hindered by a lack of courage or vulnerability. The line "Trágate las palabras y ahórrate las miradas" (Swallow your words and save yourself the glances) indicates a hesitancy to open up and communicate openly.
However, in contrast to this hesitation, the song is also very physical in its language. "Trágame ahí abajo, me gusta" (Shake me down there, I like it) suggests a willingness to be physically close to the other person. The lyrics describe a back-and-forth between playful touch and moments of shyness or embarrassment.
The refrain "Estás rayada como una cebra" (You are striped like a zebra) refers to the confusion and feelings of disorientation that often accompany these interactions. The lyrics suggest a feeling of being lost or unsure of what the other person is thinking.

Whiskey on the rocks,
Lo que sea, una copa por la mitad
Whatever, a half-full glass
Me roza, me agarra
It brushes me, it grabs me
Me mima, me toca
It spoils me, it touches me
Me sacude, me habla despacio al oido

Pero después se sonroja
But then it blushes
¡Que boba!
What a silly one!
