Yaco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La edad del vicio del saca y mete
El tome y deme, de la bola al hoyo
La edad perfecta para irse pollo
En una borrachera no se como pasó
en que momento fue que el condon se me salio
plop! y toda la mica adentro
19 años no es buen momento
Tranquila ma que esta bronca se arregla
-Tengo dos meses de atraso no me ha venido la regla
Tranquila mi chiquita por que no se relaja
-Dos meses y medio y nada que me baja
Ah la vara ahora sí está peluda
Háblame muñeca te has quedado muda
-Que es ese papel que tienes bajo el brazo?
-Dice positivo es la prueba de embarazo
Esta vida esta muy dura para una criatura
Se te acaba la aventura y de pronto tu
Eres un chamaco criando a otro chamaco
Esta vida esta muy dura para una criatura
Se te acaba la aventura y de pronto tu
Eres un chamaco criando a otro chamaco
Y ahora pues te toca decidir si te casas
Si asumes la torta y te la llevas pa tu casa
Piensa bien las cosas decide lo mejor
Vea como sea ella es una menor
Ya sabes que te toca bretear como animal
Los party las guareras todo se va acabar
Las nenas, los lances, la buena ropa
Ahora tu dinero es para alimentar 3 bocas
Tu vida va a girar a 360
Te vas a endeudar y pagarás mil cuentas
Renta, cuna, coche, canastilla
Al principio todo brilla y después la pesadilla
Cuando la chiquilla se convierta en la esposa
Cuando sea la doña cambiará la cosa
Ya no será la chica sexy que tu conociste
Ya no será la niña dócil que tu te creíste
Esta vida esta muy dura para una criatura
Se te acaba la aventura y de pronto tu
Eres un chamaco criando a otro chamaco
Esta vida esta muy dura para una criatura
Se te acaba la aventura y de pronto tu
Eres un chamaco criando a otro chamaco
Pero tu primogénito alivia tu pesar
Cuando diga papá no te querrás cambiar
Por nadie, ya nada te será tan malo
Aunque por otro lado la vida te de palos
-Vámonos el sábado al Pueblo está de miedo
-Vámonos weon,- sorry compa es que no puedo
No puedo gastar plata, no puedo pagar taxi,
No puedo echarme un tapis, ni mierda puedo casi
Esta vida esta muy dura para una criatura
Se te acaba la aventura y de pronto tu
Eres un chamaco criando a otro chamaco
Esta vida esta muy dura para una criatura
Se te acaba la aventura y de pronto tu
Eres un chamaco criando a otro chamaco
The song "Chamaco" by Yaco tells a story about a 19-year-old boy and his 17-year-old girlfriend who find themselves in a tough situation. The first verse mentions their ages as being the perfect time for partying and reckless behavior, represented by the phrase "la edad del vicio del saca y mete" (the age of take out and put in). They end up having sex without a condom while drunk, and the girlfriend becomes pregnant. The rest of the song is about the struggles of being a young parent, emphasizing that the boy is also a child himself, represented by the repeated phrase "eres un chamaco criando a otro chamaco" (you're a kid raising another kid).
The lyrics also touch on the difficult decisions and responsibilities that come with parenthood. The boy must decide whether to marry his girlfriend and take care of their child or not. The song portrays the reality of being a young parent, where the freedom and fun of youth are replaced by the obligations and difficulties of raising a child. The chorus serves as a reminder that their lives have fundamentally changed and they must adapt to their new circumstances.
