Empieza La Función Lyrics in English by Dani Martin
Función literally translates to "function" or "performance." While it can refer to a general function, in the context of entertainment, it specifically means a show or performance.
In this song, the phrase "Empieza la función" (The show begins) is a powerful and evocative way to announce a new beginning or a significant moment. It suggests a dramatic unveiling, inviting the listener to witness what's about to unfold, making it an enticing word to feature.
Have you ever felt like people want you to stay the same, even when you've grown and changed? That's exactly what Dani Martin is singing about in "Empieza La Función" [The Show Begins]. He kicks things off by talking about how some people miss his old singing style, saying things like "Que falta algo, de cuando era más chaval" [That something's missing from when I was younger]. It sounds like he feels judged, admitting, "Es tu juicio, el que manda siempre en mi cabeza" [It's your judgment that always rules in my head].
But then he turns the tables! He challenges those critics, telling them, "Escúchame, tú no eres el que eras. Te has vuelvo más cobarde y menos fiera" [Listen to me, you're not who you were. You've become more cowardly and less fierce]. It's a pretty bold move! He explains how he found solace in music, saying "Me agarré a un piano y me tendió su mano" [I grabbed onto a piano and it offered me its hand]. This song is all about him finding his voice again after a tough time, going back to basics, and now he's ready to perform, declaring, "Cállense toros que empieza la función" [Quiet down, bulls, the show begins]! It's such a powerful way to say he's back and ready for whatever comes next.
