Gracias

"Querido amigo, dos puntos:"

Gracias, tengo que darte las gracias
Porque sin ti yo no tendría "na"
Y sin embargo, un carro luce flama
En la puerta de mi casa,
Uff, de cero a cien como se pasa
Quillo, gracias porque yo también
Duermo entre cuatro paredes
Las del chalet que me compré
No sé, igual lo venderé,
Una pena que tu no lo puedas ni ver
Y eso que gracias a ti, me lo compré.
Ayer me encontré con tu madre
Está "destrozá" cada vez peor,
Y encima ahora
Es tu hermano chico el que roba
Tendré que hablar con él,
Seguro que ya compra,
Ella me dijo
Que perdiste unos veinte kilos
Que habias intentado suicidarte
Cuatro veces, ay… tu madre,
No entiendo a esa mujer,
Siempre llorando a mares,
Siempre gritando…
¡tú nos destrozaste!

Como llora tu mare siempre llorando mare
Como llora tu mare

¿qué valor tiene tu vida para ti?
¿seguirás destrozandote
Por dentro así?
Tu familia y amigos
Ya no pueden mas… (2)

Ok, esto es todo por ahora,
Ya te escribiré de nuevo
Cuando vuelva,
De vez en cuando
No viene nada mal un viajecito,
Sobre todo si es gracias a ti, drogadicto.
No molesto más,
Si sales vivo del centro
Ven a verme como antes
Cuando incluso podias andar,
Un abrazo, atentamente…
Tu traficante.

¿qué valor tiene tu vida para ti?
¿seguirás destrozandote
Por dentro así?
Tu familia y amigos
Ya no pueden mas… (2)
Y sigue enriqueciendo
A ese cabrón un poquito más.

Ay… tu madre,
No entiendo a esa mujer,
Siempre llorando a mares,
Siempre gritando…
¡tú nos destrozaste!

Como llora tu mare siempre llorando mare
Como llora tu mare

El no caer en la cuenta de lo que destrozas de ti y a tu alrededor
Quizás no sea lo peor,
El no caer en la cuenta de que cuando estás metido crees que el que no lo está es un perdedor,
El no caer en la cuenta de que tú
Lo has perdido todo,
Quizás no sea lo peor…
Date cuenta
De que gracias a ti
Se enriquece y rie de ti un cabrón.

¿qué valor tiene tu vida para ti?
¿seguirás destrozandote
Por dentro así?
Tu familia y amigos
Ya no pueden mas… (2)




Y sigue enriqueciendo
A ese cabrón un poquito más (2)

Overall Meaning

The opening line of Sergio Contreras's song, "Querido amigo, dos puntos" sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it is a letter from a drug dealer to a drug addict friend. The lyrics detail the drug addict's life and the consequences of addiction, from the gratitude he has for his dealer to the destruction he has caused in his own life and those around him. The singer expresses his gratitude to his dealer because without him, he would have nothing. He has a flashy car and a beautiful house that he purchased through drug money. However, he also mentions the toll that addiction has taken on his family and his relationships. His friend's mother is "destrozá", and his younger brother now robs. The addict himself has lost a significant amount of weight and has attempted suicide four times. The addict's family and friends are at a breaking point and can no longer cope with his addiction. The song ends with a warning to the addict that his continued addiction only serves to enrich his dealer, who is continuously profiting off of his misery.


The song sheds light on the devastating effects of drugs on not just the addicts, but also their families and loved ones. It presents addiction as a downward spiral that leads to destruction and chaos. The song is a powerful commentary on the drug epidemic and serves as a warning to those who may be contemplating drug use.

Ojalá la gente de espíritu débil q se refugia en las drogas, pidiera o buscará ayuda de una manera sana. Solo hay q ver los casos de hermano mayor, los chicos/as q salen siempre se enredan a causa de carencias emocionales.. Yo les daba esa droga a los hijos de los traficantes.. Ya verás como tomaban de su medicina aunque no tiene culpa pero hacen mucho daño

Alberto Bittan

Existe una cura para las drogas más heavys, se llama iboga, y es para salir, no para cronificare como metadona y otras sustancias. Fuerza a quien esté en ese infierno.

Lady Nora
