Viernes Social
Tito Gomez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
al jorge le mataron el perro
(carne con vidrio molido)
agonia supria imunda
(carne con vidrio molido)
seguro que fue el comisario
(la venganza es pura muerte)
que vive en la otra esquina
lo espero con un garrote
(la venganza es pura muerte)
atras de la ligustrina
estonces Ah...
(bis)
ala abuela la mandaron al asilo
(se comieron los ahorros)
casi nunca una visita
(se quedaron con la casa)
pero llegar al cumpleaños
(la venganza es agridulce)
lo juro por san la muerte
(la venganza es agua pura)
una torta con "cautrina"
(la vengaza es pura muerte)
cayo toda la familia
entonces Ah...
(bis)
The lyrics of Tito Gomez's song Viernes Social narrate two different stories that show the theme of retaliation or revenge. The first story is about Jorge, whose dog was killed with ground glass inside the meat. The singer suggests that the police commissioner who lives in the next corner is the one who did it and is now waiting for him with a wooden stick behind the Ligustrum hedge, intending to exact revenge in the form of death. The second story is about an old lady who was sent to a nursing home, with her family taking over her home and savings. However, when her family comes to visit her on her birthday, she gets her revenge by serving them a cake laced with "cautrina," which harms the entire family instead.
The theme of retaliation is prevalent throughout the song, with the message that what goes around comes around. The lyrics depict how people react violently or in other harmful ways when they feel wronged, and the resulting consequences that may affect the victimizer and those around them. The use of specific details, such as the name of the poison and the type of tree for the setting, adds to the realism and vividness of the stories.
