Ska-P Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Las ocho de la manana
Ya suena el despertador
Yo soy el hombre resaka
Me casé con el alcohol

Me levanto de la cama
Tengo que ir a travajar
Ivaya mierda, qué putada
Quiero bailar ska

Quiero bailar ska
Gozo bailando ska

Son las nueve, estoy currando
Mi cabeza va a estallar
Un chupito de tequila
Y esto empieza a mejorar

Tengo ganas de pirarme

Ya no lo puedo aguantar
Es que nadia me comprende
Quiero bailar ska

Quiero bailar ska
Gozo bailando ska

Y de nuevo estoy borracho
Estoy perdido en qualquier bar
En el juego de la vida
Manana hay que trabajar
Lo he perdido casi todo
Mi novia no me aguanto
Y es que me huele el aliento
A whisky, cerveza y ron




Quiero bailar ska
Gozo bailando ska

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ska-P's "El Hombre Resaca Baila Ska" tell the story of a man who wakes up with a hangover and a love for alcohol. He begrudgingly gets ready for work, but all he really wants to do is dance ska. As his work day drags on, he drinks tequila to numb his headache and desires to escape and dance again. By the end of the day, he finds himself drunkenly lost in a bar, having lost almost everything, including his girlfriend. Despite everything, his love for ska remains.


This song is an exploration of addiction and escapism as well as a celebration of one's passions. The singer is unable to escape his reliance on alcohol and his love for ska, despite the negative consequences that result from both. It's a poignant and relatable portrayal of the struggle to balance one's vices and desires with the realities of life.
