Bam Bam
Rabanes Los Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Las muchachas hoy en día,
Viven pendiente a la moda
Las muchachas en la calle
Se arreglan bien a la moda
En busca de aquel piropo,
Que siempre las enamora
De la popular poesía,
(refrão:)
Si no tienes bam bam, no te van a mirar
Ninguno de los pelaos de la avenida central (2x)
Ay me gustan las guiales rudas, con explosiva figura
Me gustan las chicas rudas, que tienen sinvergüenzura
Y cuando toca Rabanes, siempre ellas haces sus travesuras
Y cuando toca Rabanes, ellas lo mueven con sabrosura
(refrão)
Ay, yo aprendo de las viejitas, enseño a las nuevecitas
Saboreo a las flaquitas, disfruto de las gorditas
Si Dios nos mandó mujeres, yo creo que todas son muy bonitas
Si Dios me premió con ellas las quiero a todas por igualitas
(Rap) Shake baby one-shake shake tu bam bam
I liked morena your big backside
El ritmo de moda se llama bam bam - A bailar
(refrão)
Ay algunas se ponen bravas porque nadie las piropea
Ay algunas muy arregladas y nadie las piropea
El hombre busca el pedazo, y no le importa como se vea
El hombre busca el pedazo, aunque sea prima de Betty la fea
Sin Bam Bam no te quieren mami,
Sin Bam Bam no te piropean
Sin Bam Bam no te quieren negra,
sin Bam Bam no... que va! (2x)
Ay mamá, un estilo diferente ya,
de crear un ritmo sin igual,
Muchchas a bailar
Ay mamá vénganse para la pista ya,
Que las quiero ver menear
toditas el bam bam bam bam
Bam bam todas muchachitas meneando el bam bam,
Disco de moda que vino a pegar
en las discotecas lo saben bailar
En las emisoras siempre number one
A bailar el bam bam a menear el bam bam
Sin Bam Bam no te quieren mami,
Sin Bam Bam no te piropean
Sin Bam Bam no te quieren negra,
Sin bam bam sin bam bam
The song "Bam Bam" by Rabanes is a commentary on the importance of style and fashion in the lives of young women. The lyrics describe how girls today are constantly focused on keeping up with the latest trends and looking good. They dress up in fashionable clothes, hoping to catch the eye of a man who will give them a compliment or a "piropo". The song suggests that without style and fashion, women may not be noticed or appreciated by men on the street.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "si no tienes bam bam, no te van a mirar" which translates to "if you don't have bam bam, they won't look at you". The bam bam referred to in the song is unclear but could be a reference to either fashion sense or physical allure. The verses go on to describe the singer's preference for women with a tough attitude and an attractive figure. The lyrics suggest a belief that all women are beautiful and should be appreciated, regardless of their body type or personal style.
Overall, the song critiques the societal pressure on women to conform to certain beauty standards and emphasizes the value of individuality and self-expression.
