Que Lo Que

Danny Ocean's song 'Que Lo Que' is a powerful anthem that addresses the social and political unrest prevalent in many parts of the world. The phrase '¿Qué lo que-lo que?' can be translated to 'What's up?' or 'What's going on?' and serves as a recurring question throughout the song, urging listeners to reflect on the current state of affairs. The lyrics highlight the pervasive sense of loss and frustration, with lines like 'Ya nadie tiene na' / Ya todo se perdió' ('No one has anything / Everything is lost') and 'El odio sí que nos jodió' ('Hate really screwed us over'). These lines underscore the destructive impact of hatred and division on society.

The song also calls for an end to violence and a move towards unity and respect. Phrases such as 'Ya no queremos má' / ¿No te da pena ya?' ('We don't want more / Aren't you ashamed yet?') and 'Respeta y deja respeta'' ('Respect and let respect') emphasize the need for mutual respect and understanding. The repeated question '¿Nos matamo' o nos unimo'?' ('Do we kill each other or unite?') serves as a poignant reminder of the choices we face as a society. It challenges listeners to consider whether they will continue down a path of violence and division or choose to come together in solidarity.

The mention of the police and soldiers, 'La policía tiene miedito' ('The police are scared') and 'La policía y los soldadito'' ('The police and the little soldiers'), adds another layer to the song's message. It suggests that even those in positions of authority are not immune to the fear and uncertainty that pervades society. By highlighting this, Danny Ocean underscores the universal nature of these issues and the need for collective action to address them. 'Que Lo Que' is a rallying cry for unity, respect, and a better future for all.
