Vacaburra (Every Breath You Take)

El Informal's song "Vacaburra (Every Breath You Take)" is a humorous and satirical commentary on the challenges of living with a partner who has an insatiable appetite. The lyrics describe a relationship that has deteriorated over time due to one partner's excessive eating habits. The song opens with the narrator reflecting on the years spent together and questioning why they got married in the first place. The initial attraction and sensuality have been overshadowed by the partner's gluttony, which has turned them into a caricature of their former self.

The song uses vivid and exaggerated imagery to depict the partner's eating habits, mentioning traditional foods like fabada, chicken, and coffee, and highlighting the absurdity of their constant snacking. The narrator's frustration is palpable as they lament the loss of their previous lifestyle, where they could go out and enjoy life. Now, the partner's excessive weight prevents them from even leaving the house. The repeated plea to "deja de comer" (stop eating) underscores the narrator's desperation and helplessness in the face of their partner's uncontrollable appetite.

The chorus and subsequent verses employ a mix of humor and disdain, using terms like "vacaburra" (a playful insult combining 'cow' and 'donkey'), "cachalote" (sperm whale), and "focamonje" (a derogatory term for a gluttonous person) to emphasize the partner's transformation. The song's tone is both comedic and critical, reflecting the narrator's exasperation and disgust. Ultimately, "Vacaburra (Every Breath You Take)" serves as a satirical exploration of how unchecked gluttony can strain relationships and alter the dynamics between partners.
