El lavadero
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No sigas insistiendo
No sigas refregando
Pareces lavadero
Ya te lo dije
Mi amor no es de tu clase
Pa' mi no vales nada
A poco piensas
Que porque me dejaste
Me ando emborrachando
Pues te equivocas
Por que es por tu vecina
La que vive enseguida
Que me ando atarantando
Ya no te vueles
Tampoco me presumas
Que como lavadero
Tu ya no estas de moda
Pues ten en cuenta
Tus tiempos se ha acabado
Tu ya no eres la misma
Que andaba entre la bola
Vete muy lejos
Ya no me andes siguiendo
Ni te hagas la ilusión
Por que no puedo
Jamás interesarme
Por tus falsos amores
Ya me enfado tu amor
Ya no me enfades
No sigas insistiendo
No sigas refregando
Pareces lavadero
Ya te lo dije
Mi amor no es de tu clase
Pa' mi no vales nada
Ni de pilón te quiero
Desde muy lejos
Ya no me andes siguiendo
Ni te hagas la ilusión
Por que no puedo
Jamás interesarme
Por tus falsos amores
Ya me enfado tu amor
The song "El Lavadero" by Pedro Infante tells the story of a man who is tired of his girlfriend's constant nagging and attempts to pursue him. He compares her behavior to that of a laundry washer, hence the title of the song. The man tells his girlfriend that his love does not belong to her and that she means nothing to him. He further reveals that he is not drinking because of the breakup, but because of the neighbor who has caught his attention. The man tries to tell his girlfriend that she is past her time and no longer fashionable, thereby trying to drive home his point that he has moved on. In the end, the man warns the girlfriend to stay away from him as he is no longer interested in her false love.
The lyrics of this song reveal a universal truth about relationships that have lingered past their expiration dates. The man's use of the "lavadero" metaphor is a creative way of drawing attention to his girlfriend's tedious and time-wasting behaviors, which have become a nuisance to him. The revelation that he has moved on with someone else shows that sometimes, relationships just end, and people move on.
