Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el campo y tiene
Una motosierra que va
Derribando el bosque para
Conbertirlo en leña
Los vecinos de mi prima hagan
Una buena suma ella
Metroruma
Ya viene la motosierra otro
Arbol derribara con su
Filosa cadena hasta el
Viento cortara
Ya viene la motosierra
Otro arbol derribara
Con su filosa cadena
Hasta viento cortara
Los muchachos en
El campo huchen de
La motosierra pues
Palo que se atraviesa
Ella lo convierte en leña
Carlito handa muy
Contento y no encuentra
Nada malo el busca la
Motosierra para que
Le corte el palo
Ya viene la motosierra
Otro arbol derrivara
Con su filosa cadena
Hasta el viento cortara
Ya viene la motosierra
Otro arbol derrivara
Con su filosa cadena
Hasta el viento cortara.
The lyrics of A Mi Manera by Puerto Rico All-Stars discuss the destructive impact of modern technology on nature. The singer talks about his cousin who lives in the countryside and has a chainsaw that she uses to cut down trees and turn them into firewood. The neighbors of the singer's cousin make a good profit from the firewood that she provides them with. However, the singer expresses concern about the destruction caused by the chainsaw as it cuts down trees and leaves behind a barren land.
The chorus highlights the recurring theme of the chainsaw's destructive power. The singer warns the kids in the country to stay away from the chainsaw as it easily turns anything in its path into firewood. Carlito, one of the singer's associates, is portrayed as being unaware of the devastation caused by the chainsaw and is excited to use it to cut down a tree. The song's message centres on cautioning individuals on the unintended consequences of technology on natural resources.
Overall, the song is a critique of the destruction of nature caused by modern equipment and draws attention to the need to practice sustainable development to preserve the natural environment.
