DJ
Rabanes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Esto no es para todos los DJs
Esto es para esos manes que se la tiran de hot
Y no salen ni en Corn Flakes, you know?
Quickly quickly baby shake
Qu� es lo que le pasa a la cara de �inga DJ
Quickly quickly baby shake, stupid, stupid, stupid
Si la fiesta es mala dime que te pasa DJ
Solo estas poniendo pura vaina inentendible
Quitame ese ingles y ponme en español
Mi musica latina que sï tiene sabor
Si la fiesta es mala dime que te pasa DJ
Solo estass poniendo pura vaina inentendible
Quitame ese ingles y ponme en español
Mi m�sica latina que es la nueva sensaci�n
Yo estuve en un party antes de ayer, llegu� con mi querida
Me top� a mi mujer, ese no es el asunto, eso no es lo que es
La vaina comenz� cuando llegaba el DJ
Pon�a puro speak english y la gente no entend�a qu� carajo era lo que el disco dec�a
El ingl�s sin barrera nadie lo ten�a lo dejaron en la casa mira lo que suced�a
Pa� fuera... come on, come on... pa� tu casa...
Bien fuck up.. bien en off
(coro)
Un... dos... tres... el tocadisco ponlo al rev�s
Si t� no entender... echa para atr�s la cinta del cassette
Ponte lo que t� quieras pero que sea en espa�ol
Ponte latino music que s� tiene sabor
Ponte lo que t� quieras pero que sea en espa�ol
Las damas en el party, quieren pura diversi�n
(coro)
Yo estuve en un party antes de ayer, llegu� con mi querida
Me dej� mi mujer, ese no es el asunto, eso no es lo que fue
La vaina se form� cuando yo era el DJ
Atenci�n todo el mundo para la pista!!
Se va a formar el guaganc� con style
Original Sargent MacClean en el mando... detonando
Quiero que goze ahora latino, quiero que dancing toda la raza
Las se�oritas whappin� conmigo, one two three los Rabanes en la casa
Si las fiesta es mala dime qu� te pasa
Est� la fiesta en panga entonces qu� pasa
Si la festa es mala dime qu� te pasa
One two three los Rabanes amenzan
The Rabanes's song DJ is a comment on the lack of understanding and appreciation for Latin music at parties, particularly those hosted by DJs who only play English-language music. The song kicks off with a critique of DJs who boast about their skills but don't deliver the goods. The lyrics sarcastically question the skill of DJs who play incomprehensible music, saying that they are "not for everyone" and "tiran de hot" (act hot) without actually being popular. The chorus tells DJs to switch to Latin music that "tiene sabor" (has flavor) and to "quitame ese ingles" (remove that English) from their sets.
The second verse of the song recounts a personal experience of the singer at a party where the DJ was playing only English music despite the requests and protests of the crowd. The verse suggests that the guests could not understand the lyrics and ended up leaving, causing the event to flop. The song encourages the DJ to play Latino music that is fun and easy to dance to, with a call for a "guagancó" dance, and ends with a warning that the Rabanes band will take over if the party is boring. Overall, the song asserts the importance of cultural diversity in music and the power of Latino music to save a lackluster party.
