Rock de París
Upa! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que recien llegó de París
Con el pelo la mitad azul
La otra noche la invité a bailar
EL ROCK, EL POP
Se movia como loca
Me pego un combo en la boca, me mató
Nena yo le dije, qué es lo que hice mal
Nena, soy tu amigo lo sabes bien
Vamos dame un beso vamos a bailar
EL ROCK, EL POP
Me miró fijo a los ojos,
Se saco los pantalones y bailó
"Flaco los romances ya no son así
Besos y violines no se llevan más,
Dame una patada y yo te amaré
Muérdeme los labios vamos a bailar
EL ROCK, EL POP"
Yo no entendi nada
Le pegue una patada y me amó
Un poco de violencia y la conquisté
Golpes y mordiscos fueron nuestro amor
De la mermelada casi me olvidé
No mas poesía vamos a bailar EL ROCK, EL POP
Le pegaban a los hippies
Le pegaban a los negros en París.
These lyrics from Upa!'s song "Rock de París" tell the story of a friend who recently returned from Paris with half of her hair dyed blue. The singer invites her to dance and mentions how she moves wildly to the rock and pop music. However, in the midst of their dancing, she unexpectedly punches the singer in the mouth, causing his ultimate demise. Confused and hurt, he asks her why she would attack him so violently. He reassures her that he is her friend, but she then stares into his eyes, takes off her pants, and continues to dance. She tells him that romantic relationships are no longer like they used to be, and that passion now comes from violence rather than tender moments with kisses and violins. Intrigued, the singer follows her lead and kicks her, resulting in her love for him. They engage in a relationship fueled by violence, with punches and bites becoming their expressions of love. Towards the end of the lyrics, the mention of hitting hippies and black people refers to the violence prevalent in Paris during that time.
Overall, the song portrays an unconventional and intense love affair where violence becomes a bizarre form of connection and passion. The lyrics reflect a shift in romantic dynamics, suggesting that traditional notions of love and romance have changed, with aggression and physicality taking precedence.
