Un poco de diente por diente
calamaro andres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
urgente justicia divina,
porque viven en la casa de la esquina
no la podría incendiar y quedarme escuchando gritar
a toda la familia y oír el ruido de rotas derrotas.
Odio independiente, ojo por ojo, diente por diente,
entre tanta canción de amor quiero una de justicia y rencor
es el sabor de la venganza nacional
merecen un poco de dolor
Hay que respirar la historia
y cada tanto reviente alguno para conservar la memoria
abierta y que sangre sangre blanca y celeste
aunque cueste quebrar varias leyes y pecados capitales.
Desparramar los sesos de los bigotones
que para eso también son mortales
Pobre país, perdiste una generación de gente buena
vale la pena pensar que somos diferentes clases de animales
y exterminar con seriedad, con frialdad y devolverte la dignidad.
¡Ay país!
Acá solo deberías tranquilos sabiendo que existe
la respuesta del viento, el aliento doliente y el diente por diente
que sople el huracán y con él volar
el buque es de un coronel
y levantar la frente bestialmente
con un poco de diente por diente
con un poco de diente por diente.
The lyrics of Andrés Calamaro's "Un poco de diente por diente" touch upon themes of revenge, justice, and the desire for retribution against oppressive forces. The singer finds pleasure in imagining vengeance against a paramilitary group, seeking urgent divine justice for their actions. There is a sense of frustration knowing that they cannot directly cause harm to those responsible, but the desire to hear their screams and the sound of defeat is palpable.
The lyrics also express a strong sense of hatred and a call for an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth mentality. In a world where love songs dominate the airwaves, the singer longs for a song of justice and resentment, relishing in the taste of national revenge. The imagery of serving up cold dishes of retribution and inflicting pain on those deemed deserving adds a sinister edge to the narrative.
The lyrics delve into the importance of remembering history and the necessity of occasional explosions of violence to preserve collective memory. There is a call to shed the blood of oppressors, symbolized by the reference to spilling the brains of those with mustaches, asserting that even they are mortal. The idea of sacrifices being made to uphold values and dignity is highlighted in this passage.
The song further explores the notion of a country that has lost a generation of good people and the need to recognize the inherent differences between individuals when it comes to seeking justice. The singer advocates for the extermination of oppressors with seriousness, coldness, and a commitment to restoring dignity. The lyrics conclude with a plea to the country to remain calm knowing that there is a response waiting in the form of nature's forces, the spirit of resilience, and the principle of tit for tat, symbolized by the phrase "a little bit of tooth for tooth."
