Vamos/Viceversa
Pato Machete Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tengo mi boom
Tengo mi boom
Tengo mi Boom y mi corazon
Esa lineas esas
Palmas esas
Prisas esas
Esos buhos entre las palabras
Mientras que la cuadra permanece despierta
Alguna casa permanece abierta
De la azotea hasta la banketa
Aja aja
Divisiones a las eskinas
Y las plazas sky
Lunes tardes
Razas estos pistos
Esas bandas
Esos primos
Esas bardas
Y por que no existe excusa mejor?
Que una platica dentro de un rol
Deslizandonos velocidad
En los de la ciudad de nuestra bendicion.
Esos pies esas
Piernas esas
Manos siga
Besa esos sueños
Tristezas
Esos logros
Flakezas
Mientras que la ciudad continua dormida
Y helada y ajena a la vía
Privada accion a cantina
Entrando saliendo
Esas
Lunas asi
Tiernas esas
Noches tardes
Secas esas calidad esas frescas
Son para esas celdas
Por que no habria de ser el modo?
Del estereo hacia el mono
El fara de cerca
Que eso no diga ...
Esas voces echiza
Necias esas
Fuerzas esta
Recia esos necios
Demencia
Deseo y escencia
Mientras que el mañana apareceria
Mientras que imperaria
El humo sigue de su vida
Pa siempre unidas
Esas bases echizas
Ruinas y sol
Bases echizas
Siglas esas libres
Continuas
Se ganaria
Da igual si por que no existe otra emocion?
Bajo esta solida reaccion
Resguardando hasta los cerros
Los caminos
Los siempre continuos
The lyrics of the song Vamos/Viceversa by Pato Machete talk about life in the city, where the singer describes the different elements and experiences that make up his world. The first verse starts off with the repetition of "Tengo mi boom y mi corazón," which translates to "I have my boom and my heart." The boom can be interpreted as the rhythm or beat of life, while the heart represents the emotions and feelings that accompany it. The next lines describe the sounds of the city, such as the crickets and owls, and the people who stay awake all night. The singer highlights the contrast between the open houses and the closed-off streets, where different races and groups of people coexist. The last few lines express the singer's excitement and anticipation for the night, where he describes the feeling of driving fast through the city, surrounded by the sights and sounds of his world.
The second verse talks about the physicality of the city, where the singer focuses on the movements and actions of different body parts. The city is described as sleeping, cold, and indifferent, while the people move around with their dreams, weaknesses, and achievements. The city is a place of constant motion, where people go in and out of bars and other establishments, and where the moon and stars provide comfort to those who wander around aimlessly. The last part of the song touches on the power of language and the importance of communication. The singer talks about the voices that possess different energies and forces, and the desire to continue on the journey, no matter what challenges may come their way.
Overall, the song captures the essence of living in a busy, fast-paced city, where the different elements of sound, movement, and language come together to create a unique and vibrant culture.
