Soy un desastre = "I'm a disaster"




" Solo han pasado, algunos dias
todo a cambiado, con tu partida
hay platos sucios, en la cocina
Y un perro triste, que no te olvida
Hoy me doy cuenta, que me haces falta
y me pregunto, que pasaria
Si derrepente, tu te marcharas
para siempre, de mi vida

Soy un desastre cuando tu te vas de casa
en el armario ya no encuentro las corbatas
Soy un desastre y ya no se lo que pasa
ya estoy cansado de comidas enlatadas
Soy un desastre y sin ti yo estoy perdido
tus vacaciones estropean mis sentidos
soy un desastre y me siento confundido
quiero decirte que ya basta de caprichos
soy un desastre, soy un desastre
soy un desastre, soy un desastre sin ti
soy un desastre, soy un desastre
soy un desastre, soy un desastre sin ti

This song translates to "I'm a disaster" and says

It's only been a few days
everything's changed since you went away
There's dirty plates in the kitchen
and a sad dog that can't forget you
Today I realize that I need you
And I ask myself what were to happen
If suddenly, you went away
Forever from my life

I'm a disaster when you're not home
I can't find my ties in the closet
I'm a disaster and I don't know what's the matter
I'm getting tired of eating canned food
I'm a disaster and without you I am lost
your vacations spoil my feelings
I'm a disaster and I'm feeling confused
I want to say that it's enough now of your child play
I'm a disaster, I'm a disaster...etc




You guys get the point..This song dates back to 1985 from Mexican pop group TIMBIRICHE, same teen group that eventually spawned Paulina Rubio, Thalia, Sasha, Edith Marquez, Bibi Gaytan and many others. At the time most of them were between 12-15 years old and the one singing the song was a 14 year old Diego Schoening

I can't even begin to discuss how WRONG this song is. Look at the lyrics, they're incredibly sexist and shallow. The song is being sung by a TEEN group whose fanbase was juvenile. What message is this giving to kids. "Oh look girls! This is the role you will play when you grow up! You get to be a doormat!". I mean if this song is supposed to be about missing somebody, why the shallow lyrics? Was this a joke?

You'd be surprised how many people love this song yet never realize it's the Chauvinist anthem.
