El Coconito Lyrics in English by Natalia Lafourcade, El David Aguilar

Gorgorea comes from the verb gorgorear, which means "to gurgle" or "to babble". It's an onomatopoeic word that evokes the sound of liquid or a gentle, bubbling noise.

In "El Coconito", the lyric "Gorgorea un coconito" paints a vivid, almost whimsical picture of a little coconut making soft, gurgling sounds, perhaps as it floats or is moved. It's a charming and less common verb that adds a unique sensory detail to the song.

Get ready to tap your feet to "El Coconito" by Natalia Lafourcade and El David Aguilar! This song is a playful and rhythmic journey, full of catchy repetitions and a bit of a cheeky story.

The core of the song revolves around the repeated lines: "Coni, coni, coconito / Coni, coni, qué caray / Yo le daba su maicito / Siempre sí, pero ahora no hay" [Coni, coni, little coconut / Coni, coni, oh my / I used to give him his corn / Always yes, but now there isn't any]. It sounds like someone is lamenting the loss of something they used to provide, perhaps to a little coconut or a small animal. Then, the lyrics take a funny turn, comparing a mama coconut feeding her calf to a sister feeding "the other ox his corn." It's a humorous and slightly suggestive image! The song then shifts to a classic love triangle scenario: "Cuando dos quieren a una / Y los dos están presentes / El uno cierra los ojos / Y el otro aprieta los dientes" [When two love one / And both are present / One closes his eyes / And the other clenches his teeth]. This blunt description of jealousy is really relatable and adds another layer to the song's playful narrative. It's a fun, lighthearted tune with a touch of everyday drama!
