Payaso Andrés

Guardarraya's song "Payaso Andrés" paints a vivid and surreal picture of a fantastical world where societal norms are turned on their head. The lyrics describe a place where the usual rules don't apply, and humor is both a blessing and a curse. The story begins with a book of untouchable jokes so dangerous that those who hear them laugh uncontrollably until they die. This sets the tone for a world where the unexpected is the norm, and the boundaries of reality are constantly shifting.

In this world, the sky is filled with fruits instead of stars, and societal roles are reversed. The most respected individuals are sex workers, and the most macho figure is a transgender person. Authority figures are depicted as animals with high moral standards, further emphasizing the topsy-turvy nature of this universe. The central character, Payaso Andrés, is a clown who navigates this bizarre landscape with a brave pig as his steed. He is described as somewhat intransigent and unashamed, embodying the chaotic spirit of his world.

Payaso Andrés has many acquaintances but only a few true friends, along with several doubts and a single fear. Together, they travel the galaxy, carrying hope and heart in their hands. The song delves into themes of alienation and nonconformity, as Andrés is shunned for his eccentric behavior and inability to lie. Despite this, he continues his quest for the book of untouchable jokes, symbolizing a search for meaning and understanding in a world that often seems nonsensical. The song's whimsical and imaginative lyrics invite listeners to question their own perceptions of reality and societal norms.
