Yerba Mala
Skapulario Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y sigues con tu vida al estilo del rock and roll
Tienes que descansar, te tienes que alimentar
Es lo que todos dicen bla bla bla bla bla
Yo me siento bien, nunca estuve mejor
Pero de todas formas el doctor me recetó
No puedo beber, no puedo fumar
Presten atención a lo que les quiero explicar
Mi medicina es el alcohol, la parranda y las mujeres
Hierba mala nunca muere
Si algo me va limpiar es mejor que ni me entere
Que me desgasto
Que me desnutro
Que un día de estos los pongo en luto
La pulmonía, que la influenza
Que la cerveza causa impotencia
En algo bueno sé que tengo la razón
Dicen que el vino es bueno para el corazón
Tal vez no soy Schwazenegger, ni me parezco a Hulk
Pero al menos sé que tengo un corazón de campeón
Hierba mala nunca muere
Mi medicina es el alcohol, la parranda y las mujeres
Hierba mala nunca muere
Si algo me va a limpiar es mejor que ni me entere
Hierba mala nunca muere
Mi medicina es el alcohol, la parranda y las mujeres
Hierba mala nunca muere
Si algo me va a limpiar es mejor que ni me entere
Estoy tirado en la camilla
Me están dando resucitación
De repente abro los ojos y sonriendo me dice el doctor
Hierba mala nunca muere
Mi medicina es el alcohol, la parranda y las mujeres
Hierba mala nunca muere
Si algo me va a limpiar es mejor que ni me entere
Hierba mala nunca muere
Mi medicina es el alcohol, la parranda y las mujeres
Hierba mala nunca muere
Si algo me va a limpiar es mejor
Que ni me entere
The lyrics to Skapulario's song Yerba Mala tell the story of a man who has received some bad news from his doctor, but chooses to continue living his life in the style of rock and roll. Despite doctors advising him to rest and take care of himself, the singer of the song insists that he feels better than ever. However, the doctor still gives him a prescription and warns him not to drink or smoke.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Hierba mala nunca muere" which translates to "bad weed never dies." The singer uses this phrase to describe himself and his chosen medicine of alcohol, partying, and women. He suggests that he doesn't want to know if something will eventually lead to his demise, as he would rather live life to the fullest without worrying about the consequences.
Through these lyrics, Skapulario is commenting on the hedonistic lifestyle that many people choose to live, despite the potential risks and dangers. The song encourages listeners to enjoy life and live in the moment, but also suggests that living a healthy lifestyle is important for one's longevity.
