In The Way
Tabaloko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aquesta nit pinta molt bé tota plena d’aquarel·les que rebassen del paper
Foscor de colors, cuixes i olors, tot amb alegria i líquid que trenca
Harmonies que suggereixen moviments de bogeria, gira la cantonada i mira
què si cou quin enrenou , cada quan hi són, diuen que aquí hi ha festa
On vas tan acabat, si això ara comença
On vas tan acabat, si això ara comença
Torna fes mitja volta i freqüenta les nenes del voltant
No em diguis que no tens esma, jo que em barallo amb burrassus nit i dia, perquè a tu no et falti la gresca
Només fins a tres quarts de nou, i demà recordaràs la cançoneta que diu:
If Tabaloko is in the way, aquí hi ha festa
If Tabaloko is in the way, aquí hi ha festa ...

The person is advised to stay and have fun instead, with the possibility of finding someone to accompany them in the supposed fun. The singer even goes on to suggest that the person they are addressing may have trouble keeping up with them because of how they party every night and day, in order to ensure that they don't miss the fun.
The song's verses are full of wit, with a chorus that reinforces the idea of the party in the face of any obstacle or challenge. In conclusion, "In The Way" is a song that captures the essence of a vibrant party scenario, with an allusion to the story of Tabaloko that is left to the imagination of the listener.
