Boogaloo
Sergio Pangaro & Baccarat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No se si deba decirtelo, cariño
Pero no he encontrado nada mas profundo aún
Todo lo que leíste
Todas las películas que viste
Todo fue directo a tu cara
Si pensas que el alma no se ve
Se ha dicho tanto que las apariencias engañan
Y por supuesto que engañarán
A quién sea tan vulgar como para creerlo
Tu marca en mis labios me da un sabor a cada cosa que digo
Si pensas que el alma no se ve
El alma si se ve y puede combinar muy bien
No es verdad lo que dice él
Es verdad lo que haga
No es verdad lo que dice él
No!
No es verdad lo que dice él
Lo que haga
Como un payaso de gala
No es verdad
No, no, no es verdad lo que haga.
The lyrics of Sergio Pangaro & Baccarat's song Boogaloo talk about appearances, the soul, and the truth. The first verse suggests that the singer may be preoccupied with his physical appearance, but he hasn't found anything deeper yet. He tells his lover that everything she has read or watched has affected her deeply. In the chorus, he challenges the popular notion that appearances are deceptive, stating that the soul is visible in one's eyes. He adds that his lover's mark on his lips gives a unique flavor to everything he says, implying that her influence is omnipresent in his life.
The second verse continues the theme of appearances versus reality, stating that appearances can deceive only those who are naive enough to fall for them. The singer seems to believe that actions speak louder than words and that one's deeds determine the truth of a situation. At the end of the verse, he declares that he will not act in accordance with what someone else says but will instead do what he thinks is right. The repetition of the phrase "No es verdad lo que dice él" (It's not true what he says) at the end of the song reinforces the sentiment that actions speak louder than words and that appearances can be deceiving.
