Cigarrito is the diminutive form of cigarro (cigarette), meaning "little cigarette." Diminutives are common in Spanish and often add a sense of endearment or casualness, even to something like a cigarette.
In this song, the repeated use of cigarrito sets a relaxed, almost intimate tone, as the singer describes lighting up and unwinding. It's an interesting word because it highlights a common linguistic feature in Spanish while being central to the song's theme of stress relief.
Ready to chill out with a little help from a cigarrito [small cigar]?
"El Cigarrito" by LOS INQUIETOS DEL NORTE is all about kicking back and letting go of stress. The lyrics describe lighting up a cigarrito and having some whisky to relax, saying, "voy a echarme un cigarrito deblacle vo un whisky para el estrés" [I'm going to have a little cigar, a whisky for the stress]. The song talks about how good it feels as the smoke takes over, making everything feel like it's in slow motion and spinning, "en el tiempo en cámara lenta y que todo me da vuelta se siente bien" [in slow motion and everything spins, it feels good]. It's a fun, hazy journey into relaxation, where the worries of the world just fade away.
