Reina de La Mantequilla

La Cabra Mecánica's song "Reina de La Mantequilla" is a gritty and raw exploration of human desires, struggles, and the often chaotic nature of life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who is grappling with various forms of excess and deprivation. The opening lines, "Me gustan las niñas con el culo gordo / mi verde sonrisa, joder a matar... / tengo los bolsillos rotos," set the tone for a narrative steeped in hedonism and financial instability. The mention of "bolsillos rotos" (broken pockets) suggests a life of economic hardship, while the crude appreciation for physical attributes hints at a superficial pursuit of pleasure.

The song delves deeper into the protagonist's internal turmoil with lines like "Preñado de cuervos, absuelto de infiernos / y un hígado hambriento que por más que cuido / siempre quiere más." Here, the imagery of being "pregnant with crows" and having a "hungry liver" symbolizes a life burdened by dark thoughts and insatiable desires. The liver, often associated with excess drinking, underscores a theme of self-destructive behavior. The phrase "se lo está chupando todo" (it's sucking everything) further emphasizes the draining nature of these vices.

In the chorus, the protagonist's desperation is palpable: "Vamonos gorda, vas a ser mía / métele duro reina de la mantequilla." This plea to the "reina de la mantequilla" (queen of butter) can be interpreted as a metaphor for seeking comfort or escape in a person or substance. The song's raw and unfiltered language, combined with its vivid imagery, creates a powerful narrative about the struggles of balancing desire and despair, making it a compelling piece that resonates with the chaotic and often harsh realities of life.
