Vinilo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A DOS VEINTE VA CORRIENDO EL CAMIÓN
NO LO VES, NO LO VES

ACOMPAÑADO DE ESE RARO SEÑOR
NO LO VES, SACO DE PIEL

BAILANDO RÁPIDO ESTÁ EN EL SALÓN
CON UNA FLOR, CON UNA FLOR

ESE SACO NO LE QUEDA MAL
SE LO DIÓ EL RARO SEÑOR

PERO LE PIDIÓ UN FAVOR
Y FUE CONTRA RELOJ
QUE NECESIDAD
LO QUEMÓ EN EL CALLEJÓN

TODO EL MUNDO DE PIE
FALLECIÓ EL CAPITÁN
TODO EL MUNDO DE PIE
NO LO VES, NO LO VES

LA CANA LO ENCONTRÓ EN EL CALLEJÓN
Y SE RIÓ, SE RIÓ

SABÍA BIEN POR QUÉ TODO TERMINÓ
FUE POR UN SACO Y UNA FLOR

PERO EL CAPITÁN DECÍA
QUE NO SIRVE DE NADA
CRECER DESDE ABAJO
CUESTA MUCHO TRABAJO

PERO EN EL FUNERAL
YA CON LOS OJOS DE MÁRMOL

PIDIÓ ANTES DE SUBIR
MIRÁNDOSE LAS MANOS QUE,

Overall Meaning

En "El Capitan," Vinilo tells the story of a man who meets his tragic end because of a simple request he granted. The song sets the scene with a truck rushing down the road, accompanied by a strange man in a leather jacket. The man is later seen dancing fervently with a flower in his jacket, which was given to him by the man in the leather jacket. The song then takes a dark turn, as we learn that the strange man asked a favor of the singer, which he reluctantly granted, and it resulted in the burning of the man in the alleyway. The lyrics suggest that the Captain, as he was called, tried to avoid the difficult task of climbing the social ladder by succumbing to the whims of the strange man, which ultimately led to his demise.

Vinilo's lyrics are rich with symbolism and metaphor, making them open to interpretation. For example, the leather jacket worn by the strange man could represent something dangerous, as leather is often associated with toughness and coolness. Additionally, the flower in the Captain's jacket may represent beauty or innocence, which is tragically destroyed when the Captain is burned in the alleyway. The lyrics seem to convey a message about the dangers of taking shortcuts in life and avoiding the hard work required to achieve success.
