Gato por liebre
TOURISTA Lyrics

In TOURISTA's song Gato por Liebre, the lyrics tell the story of a person who has been deceived by a witch who brought bad luck into their life. The first stanza describes the morning when the person will finally be free from the curse. They will be in a cotton field, and when the church bells ring, the curse will leave them. The chorus mentions the witch who sold them "gato por liebre," a Spanish expression that means someone was tricked into accepting something of lesser value than they were promised. The person is wishing bad luck upon the witch who has deceived them.

The second stanza mentions the possessions the person has. They have money in a drawer, a drink made of pisco and lemon, crosses on their back, a map, and a truck. The mention of the "perro pirata" or the pirate dog adds a playful note to the lyrics. The person is about to leave for the South, hinting at starting a new chapter in their life or embarking on a journey. The chorus repeats, this time with the person stating that they are leaving towards the South.

The lyrics leave room for interpretation, and it's unclear who the person singing is or how they got involved with the witch. It's possible that the song is about overcoming a difficult period in their life or leaving behind someone who brought them bad luck and sadness. The chorus repeating towards the end of the song creates a sense of closure or a new beginning.
