Puerto Rico All-Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con una resaca del tamaño del estadio
Y siento el llamado de mi café curandero
Voy a la cocina pa' hacermelo bien negro
Dios mio que sorpresa, el café no lo encuentro
Se lo ha tomado la Tati, Gumersindo y Roberto
Me he quedado sin café, con los nervios no puedo
(Yo pensé)
(Yo pensé)
(Que tenia un poco e' café)
(Yo pensé)
(Yo pensé)
(Yo pensé)
(Que tenia un poco e' café)
Rabioso me voltee y ahí estaba Luisito
Que pa'l mercado se iba a comprar cafecito
Le di pa'que buscará del que hace abuelita
Y se fue corriendo pal' abasto de la esquina
Después de un cuarto de hora apareció mi pana
Con una docena de huevos y una bolsa de manzanas
Mi café se le ha olvidado, cy caray que desgracia
(Yo pensé)
(Yo pensé)
(Yo pensé)
(Que tu iba traer café)
(Yo pensé)
(Yo pensé)
(Yo pensé)
(Que tu iba traer café)
(Yo pensé)
(Yo pensé)
Que ibas a traer café
Porque ha llegado Roberto y Tati
Y acabaron con el
(Yo pensé)
(Yo pensé)
Pa' prepararme un guayoyo
Y acabo con ese rollo de la resaca
De una vez
(Yo pensé)
(Yo pensé)
Que tu eras mi pana
Trajiste huevo y manzanas
Y se te olvidó el café
(¿Cómo se lo toma usted?)
(Negro con leche)
El de abuela es el más especial
Más agradable para el paladar
c mi me parece
(¿Cómo se lo toma usted?)
(Negro con leche)
Café clarito o oscuro
Y eso yo se lo aseguro
Qué es lo que usted merece
(¿Cómo se lo toma usted?)
(Negro con leche)
Dos de azucar dos de cafe
Ya verá usted qué bueno es
La resaca desaparece
(Tranquilo que lo compraré)
(Del bueno que le gusta a usted)
(Tranquilo que lo compraré)
(Del bueno que le gusta a usted)
The lyrics of the song "Tú y Yo" by Puerto Rico All-Stars tell a story of someone waking up in the afternoon with a hangover and a strong desire for a cup of coffee. However, upon going to the kitchen, they discover that their coffee has been taken by others in the household. Frustrated, they ask their friend Luisito to go buy some coffee from the market, specifically the kind that their grandmother likes. However, when Luisito returns, he only brings eggs and apples, forgetting the coffee. The singer laments this forgetfulness, feeling disappointed that their friend didn't bring the very thing they needed.
The song plays with the theme of expectations and disappointments. The singer initially hopes to find coffee in the kitchen, only to realize it's been consumed by others. They then rely on their friend to bring them coffee, but their request is forgotten, leading to further frustration and disappointment. The lyrics also touch on the idea of relying on others and feeling let down when they don't fulfill our expectations.
