La
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se encontraba ya reunida la familia
Mari-pepa, Felícitas, Luz y Otilia
Y Camila, que alegraba la tertulia
Mientras Lupe daba al niño su mamila
Doña Cleta pidió un botella a Celia
Nos formó a los de confianza dos en fila
Después Amelia puso la vitrola
Y le tupimos a la danza, ahí, hechos bola
Había un cadete que celaba a Chelo
Mas la canija con Gaspar se daba vuelo
Después nos dieron sangüichitos de jalea
A unos ponche y a los tristes coca-cola
Como la gata pa' servir ni se menea
Pa' la cocina yo me fui con mi charola
Ahí me encontré con los amiguitos de Ofelia
Que a contrabando habían pasado su tequila
Nos aventamos una copas tras la pila
Y por poquito ya mero nos cae Amelia
Luego pidieron que cantara Lola
Y soportamos ya te doy la despedida
Después tía Cleta tocó la pianola
Pa' que no hablara le dimos buena aplaudida
Yo me hice fuerte y les canté una carta a Eufemia
Que me echo un gallo y un changuito me vacila
Que me le arranco, pero me detuvo Eufemia
Si no en el limbo ya estuviera haciendo fila
Pero ya estaba digerida la jalea
Pues la mujer del general me hacía la bola
Fue con el chisme la metiche de Carola
Y vino el viejo y que comienza la pelea
Se armó el relajo, sacó su pistola
Yo, precavido, me escondí tras la pianola
Vino la Julia, que llamó Lola
Y pa' la cárcel nos llevaron hechos bola
The lyrics of Pedro Infante's song "La" describe a small house surrounded by nature, where the singer lives with his dog and a cow. The house has a beautiful garden with vines, a jasmine shrub, and a fountain where a snail resides. The entrance has a hammock, and inside, there is a bed that smells like broom and is very clean. Additionally, there is a canary, a mirror, and a closet that the singer bought at a fair. However, despite the beautiful surroundings and the comfort of the house, the singer feels sad because there is no one there to share it with. He expresses his desire for a beautiful woman to join him in the house, and he believes that there is sadness in the house because she is not there with him.
The song's lyrics evoke a sense of tranquility and peace that comes from living in harmony with nature. The house is described with vivid imagery, and the singer seems to take pleasure in the simple things in life, such as the cow in the corral and the Virgen de Guadalupe in the living room. The singer's longing for companionship stands in stark contrast to the peaceful setting of the house, highlighting the importance of human connections and relationships.
