Deja de Fumar

Chabelos' song 'Deja de Fumar' is a heartfelt plea from a child to their father, urging him to quit smoking. The lyrics vividly describe the negative impact of the father's smoking habit on the child's well-being. The repeated imagery of the father as a 'chimenea' (chimney) and a 'dragon' emphasizes the overwhelming and harmful presence of smoke in their lives. The child’s plea is not just about the discomfort caused by the smoke but also about the deeper emotional and physical harm it inflicts on them.

The song uses simple yet powerful language to convey the child's desperation. Phrases like 'No puedo respirar' (I can't breathe) and 'Deja ese cigarro si me kieres de verdaad' (Leave that cigarette if you really love me) highlight the urgency and emotional weight of the request. The repetition of 'No es q a mi tambien me hace mal' (It's not just that it also harms me) underscores the shared suffering and the broader implications of the father's smoking habit on the family’s health and happiness.

Chabelos, known for their satirical and often socially conscious lyrics, use this song to address a common yet critical issue. The band's punk rock style, characterized by straightforward and sometimes raw expressions, is evident in the directness of the lyrics. 'Deja de Fumar' serves as a poignant reminder of the personal and familial consequences of smoking, urging listeners to consider the well-being of their loved ones and the importance of making healthier choices for the sake of those they care about.
