Estoy Entre una Niña y el Hachis

The song "Estoy Entre una Niña y el Hachis" by El Gamito delves into the personal conflict of a man torn between his affection for a woman and his addiction to drugs. The lyrics candidly express the protagonist's dilemma, where he acknowledges his deep feelings for the girl ('Yo la quiero mucho ella') but also admits the strong hold that hashish ('el hachís') has over him. The song's title, which translates to 'I am between a girl and hashish,' sets the stage for this internal battle.

The artist goes on to describe the sacrifices he has made for the sake of the relationship, such as giving up cocaine ('Esta es una de las cosas que ya he dejado por la niña'), which was a difficult feat for him. Despite these efforts, the temptation of drugs remains a powerful force, as he confesses his lack of self-control when confronted with a joint ('Pero cuando veo un porro no me puedo controlar'). The repeated lines about knowing that a 'pitillo' (joint) won't satisfy him, yet still going to 'la valentina' or 'el polígono' to get drugs, illustrate the vicious cycle of addiction.

The song also touches on the emotional vulnerability that comes with romantic attachment ('Sin embargo, una niña me puede pirulear / Y mi corazón porreta me lo puede destrozar'). The use of 'pirulear,' which can mean to trick or deceive, suggests that the protagonist is aware of the potential heartbreak that could come from the relationship, comparing it to the destructive nature of his drug habit. Overall, El Gamito presents a raw and honest portrayal of the struggle between the desire for love and the grip of addiction.
