chegusansandwich

Chegusan is a unique and playful slang term for 'sandwich', primarily used in Argentina. It's a portmanteau of 'che' (a common Argentine interjection) and 'sanguchito' (a diminutive of sandwich).

In the song, it highlights the cultural flavor of Argentina, where the artist comes from, and adds a touch of local authenticity and humor. It's a word that immediately signals a specific regional dialect and makes the lyrics more engaging.

In "#Ysya2020 Vol. 4 - Pasa Que Yo," YSY A takes us on a journey from his roots, a place where people say 'che' [a common Argentine interjection] and want everything now. He paints a vivid picture of his home, where a 'chegusan' [a large sandwich] is the go-to meal and breaking open a 'champagne' is how you celebrate. There's even a funny line about 'rompés un champú, protección capilar' [you break a shampoo, hair protection], playing on the similar sound of 'champagne' and 'champú'.

He contrasts this with his current reality, where the sea isn't blue, and prices for gas and electricity are sky-high. He touches on the struggle of making ends meet, especially with rent, and how true street smarts aren't found in online tutorials. YSY A also addresses the challenges of a world trying to 'encerrar' [lock us up] with a virus, declaring that he and his people won't be held back because they are 'mucho más' [much more] than that. It's a defiant and proud look at where he comes from and the resilience that defines him.
