Why?
Sam and Yuri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Limpiar el polvo hacer café
To be or not to be
Ayer lavar los platos vaya plan
Y tu, tu animal
Desparramado en el sofá
Ya esta bien holgazán
Porque no quieres ayudar
Ay que ver, ay que ver aguantar a esta mujer
Haciendo la colada y a la vez
Mientras vez en la tele Falcon Cres
Estoy mírame con el plumero y la sartén
Break dance y que un triunfador
Le das al whisky en el salón
Señor que plan trabajar
Para un atleta de sofá
Ay que ver, ay que ver aguantar a esta mujer
Entre mujer y marido
No tomes partido déjalo pasar
Entre mujer y marido
No tomes partido, ya se arreglaran
Hacer la compras
Pasear a un perro
Medio tonto y calcular
Si me alcanzará con la miseria que me das
Después soportar
La suegra lengua de caimán
Y tu siempre tu
Pendiente del partido vaya plan
Ay que ver, ay que ver aguantar a esta mujer
Entre mujer y marido
No tomes partido déjalo pasar
Entre mujer y marido
No tomes partido, ya se arreglaran
The lyrics of Sam and Yuri's song "Why?" talk about the frustrations and struggles of being in a relationship. The song speaks from the perspective of a partner who feels that they are doing most of the work in the household while their spouse seems to be constantly lounging on the couch, watching TV, and drinking whiskey. The first verse shows the partner doing tasks like cleaning, making coffee, and washing dishes while their significant other does nothing to help. The chorus offers a sense of exasperation as the partner laments, "Ay que ver, ay que ver, aguantar a esta mujer" which translates to "Oh, I have to see, I have to see, put up with this woman".
The second verse expands on the frustrations, painting a picture of the partner doing the laundry while their spouse watches television, then compares the two activities in a humorous way by juxtaposing "doing laundry and at the same time, watching Falcon Crest on TV" with "me, looking at you with a feather duster and a frying pan, breakdancing". The verse also mentions whiskey and a slack lifestyle, further highlighting the difference between the partner's hard work and the spouse's lack of motivation. The final verse adds yet another layer to the relationship problems, including a difficult mother-in-law, and the partner's constant feeling of being short-changed in the relationship, both financially and emotionally. The chorus repeats the message that sometimes it's better to simply avoid taking sides and wait for things to work themselves out on their own.
Overall, the lyrics of "Why?" paint a relatable picture of the challenges of being in a relationship, where one partner feels that they are doing much more than the other, and neither is quite sure how to bridge the gap. The song is a lighthearted reminder that sometimes it's necessary to take a step back and trust that things will work out in the end.
