Por Qué
Tego Calderon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porque me gusta la bomba repiquen barriles
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
Loco baja de esa nube que te va a caer
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
Eh, ¿por qué tú crees, por qué tú crees? Maldad feo ullele
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
Porque me gustan las bombas, alle
Africano boricua, africano con su ache
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
Por qué no, por qué no, por qué no explíquenme (dígame)
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
Porque basta ya de abusos ya yo me canse
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
Porque yo hablo con las manos como Eliel ('tá bien)
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
Tambien paso gordito dale cacha, atrásale, atrásale
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
Eh como que por que,como que por que, que fue yo soy así
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
Somo los samaramambiche ¿acaso tú no me ve', es que no me cree'?
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
Fue que se pusieron brutos y los escocote (jaja)
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
Es que yo bebo ron caña mezclado con el genease, ok?
(¿Por qué, por qué?)
The song "Por Que" by Tego Calderon is a conversation between two friends, Toño and Tego, about a recent break-up Toño is going through. Toño is feeling lost and melancholic after his girlfriend, Ariana, leaves him. He seeks solace in alcohol and turns to Tego for advice and, most importantly, another bottle to ease his pain. Tego tries to cheer him up and convince him that Ariana was not worth his time and tears, and that he should move on with his life. The refrain "Pide otra botella, los consejos se pagan" (Ask for another bottle, advice has a price) emphasizes the idea that, in times of despair, friends will always be there to lend an ear and a shoulder, but the price to pay is often a physical one, such as excessive drinking.
The lyrics highlight the theme of heartbreak and the need for companionship during difficult times. The conversation between Toño and Tego illustrates the importance of friendship and support in overcoming emotional turmoil. The verses also reveal the cultural significance of alcohol as a coping mechanism for problems related to relationships and life in general. In this regard, the song captures the essence of Puerto Rican culture and its people's way of dealing with pain and sorrow.
