Uyuyuy
Pedropiedra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Flor de día, Alelí
A la deriva, por ahí
No te importa, ni menos hoy

Golpearé, golpearé, golpearé, golpearé
Entraré, entraré, entraré, entraré

Pistolero, ¿a dónde vas?
Con esa ropa, a matar
Esta noche, es para ti
Flor de día, Alelí

Quiero ver lo que hay
Escondido en lo que dai'
Quiero verte, pero verte de frente

Uyuyuy, ayayay
No lo que hubo ni habrá
Bastará para ponernos de acuerdo bien

Por el cielo, del Paraguay
Corre el agua, sin parar
En el cerro, se ve tu hogar

Como se hunde
Obviamente en el mar

Estimado diario:
Hoy es un día especial
Mis amigos en el patio
Me están invitando a jugar

Madre mía ya no llores
Si me quiero portar mal
Me quedaría a vivir en tus tetas
Pero tengo que trabajar

Quiero ver lo que hay
Escondido en lo que dai'
Quiero verte, pero verte de frente

Uyuyuy, ayayay
No lo que hubo ni habrá
Bastará para ponernos de acuerdo bien

Golpearé, golpearé, golpearé, golpearé
Entraré, entraré, entraré, entraré

Uyuyuy, Ayayay
Pistolero, ¿A dónde vas?
Corre el agua por el cerro del Paraguay

Overall Meaning

The song Uyuyuy by Pedropiedra is a playful and whimsical commentary on life and the pursuit of happiness. The lyrics are poetic in nature and are sung in a unique and catchy manner. The song starts with the mention of a flower blooming during the day, a "Flor de día, Alelí," and drifting aimlessly, signifying life that is full of surprises and uncertainties. The next line, "No te importa, ni menos hoy," loosely translates to "You don’t care, not even today." This portrays the nonchalant attitude that one should adopt towards life and its many obstacles.


The chorus, "Uyuyuy, Ayayay," is repeated throughout the song and seems to represent the unpredictability of life. "Quiero ver lo que hay / Escondido en lo que dai' / Quiero verte, pero verte de frente," translates to "I want to see what is hidden in what you give / I want to see you, but face to face." This line is about exploring the unknown, stepping out of one's comfort zone, and facing life head-on.


The song also references the concept of work and play, with lines such as "Madre mía ya no llores / Si me quiero portar mal / Me quedaría a vivir en tus tetas / Pero tengo que trabajar." This roughly translates to "My dear mother, don't cry / If I want to behave badly / I will stay and live in your breasts / But I have to work." These lines capture the struggle between the desire to have fun and the necessity of working to maintain a livelihood.


Overall, Uyuyuy is a song that celebrates the playful and unpredictable nature of life while also acknowledging its challenges and obstacles.
