Hoy Todo Va Al Reves Lyrics in English by Antonio Orozco, Tote King
Cojo literally translates to "lame" or "limping". While it can refer to a physical disability, it's often used metaphorically in Spanish to describe something that is flawed, incomplete, or not functioning properly.
In the song, the lyric "el sistema sigue cojo" (the system is still lame/flawed) uses cojo to powerfully criticize societal structures. It implies that the system is broken, unfair, and unable to stand on its own, making it a striking and memorable word choice.
Hoy Todo Va Al Revés paints a picture of a world spinning the wrong way, where banknotes speak louder than conscience and even justice seems to read its own laws backward. Antonio Orozco’s passionate vocals mix with Tote King’s sharp rap to list everything flipped on its head: wars fought in the name of faith, courts hiding truths for rent, and tears that sound the same whether you look at them from the front or the back. The chorus hammers the point home – no matter how brightly the sun shines or how much love people still carry, “Aquí manda el dinero y luego el corazón” – first comes the money, then (maybe) the heart.
Yet the song is far from hopeless. By the time Tote King steps in, the track turns into an anthem of resistance: “Más corazón, menos dinero”. He calls listeners to raise their hands for the forgotten, smash the locks, and reclaim words thrown in the trash. The message is clear and catchy – if everything is backward, it is up to us to flip it again and put compassion back on top. Packed with soulful hooks and a punchy hip-hop edge, this song invites you to sing along, think twice, and maybe even help set the world the right way round.
