Serian Las Dos

The song "Serian Las Dos" by Banda Machos is a narrative that unfolds in the early hours of the morning, depicting a scene where the singer is with his beloved, sitting by the window. The arrival of the girl's father, who accuses the singer of being a thief, introduces a conflict. The singer's response is one of self-assuredness, as he declares himself to be 'machito' (a little man) and 'parrandero' (a party-goer or reveler). This response suggests a pride in his lifestyle and a refusal to be shamed or intimidated by the father's accusation.

The chorus of the song reflects on the singer's past and present circumstances. He reminisces about times when he had the means to support and provide for his partner ('cuando tube y te tube te mantube y te di'), but now he admits that he no longer has the resources or the ability to do so ('hoy no tengo ni mantengo ni te tengo ni te doy'). This change in his situation leads him to advise his partner to find someone else who can fulfill those needs. The repetition of this sentiment emphasizes the singer's acceptance of his current state and his detachment from the responsibilities of a provider.

The song, performed by Banda Machos, a group known for their banda music—a genre that combines traditional Mexican music with brass and percussion instruments—captures the essence of Mexican cultural themes such as machismo, revelry, and the changing dynamics of relationships. The lyrics convey a message of living in the moment and recognizing when it's time to let go, all set to the upbeat and lively rhythm characteristic of banda music.
