En El 2000 Lyrics in English by Natalia, La Forquetina
Baboso literally means 'slobbery' or 'drooling', often used to describe someone who is foolishly infatuated or acting in a crude, unrefined way.
In this song, Natalia sings about not wanting "un tonto loco que sea baboso" (a crazy fool who is slobbery/foolish). It's a vivid and somewhat unusual word to find in lyrics, making it memorable and impactful. It perfectly captures the kind of undesirable person she's trying to avoid, adding a touch of playful disdain.
"En El 2000" feels like stepping into a time capsule set at the dawn of the new millennium, where Natalia turns a witty, side-eye lens on the expectations, contradictions, and social divides of modern Mexico. With playful name-drops (Ricky Martin, Gael García) and sharp observations about class, racism, and Friday-night party culture, she lists the kind of man she doesn’t want, calls out judgmental neighbors like “Martha la lombriz,” and watches her sister face single motherhood. All the while, the chorus reminds us that the planet keeps spinning, the nights grow colder without love, and everyone is still waiting to see “qué pasa en el siguiente día.”
Behind the humor lies a powerful coming-of-age declaration: “Ya no soy la infantil criatura… ahora siente el corazón.” Natalia sheds the innocence of childhood, embraces her own agency, and invites listeners to do the same. The song mixes social satire with personal awakening, leaving us dancing, thinking, and wondering what surprises the next day will bring.
