Son Ardores

Los Morancos, a comedic duo from Spain, are known for their humorous and satirical songs that often touch on everyday life and common experiences. In their song 'Son Ardores,' they tackle the universally relatable issue of stomach discomfort with a light-hearted and comedic approach. The lyrics describe a person suffering from severe stomach pains, humorously speculating on various causes such as eating something bad, consuming spoiled seafood, or indulging in a night of heavy drinking with friends. The exaggerated concern and the sound effects ('Ssssffffff') add to the comedic tone, making the listener both empathize and laugh at the situation.

The chorus, 'Son ardoooreees,' emphasizes the intensity of the stomach pains, describing them as something that 'kills,' 'overwhelms,' and is 'very bad.' This hyperbolic language is a classic comedic technique, amplifying the severity of the situation to absurd levels for humorous effect. The repetition of the word 'ardores' (which means 'burns' or 'pains' in Spanish) drives home the discomfort while maintaining a playful tone.

In the latter part of the song, the advice to 'stop crying' and take a box full of Almax (a brand of antacid) or bicarbonate of soda adds another layer of humor. The suggestion to 'change that little face' implies that the person's expression of pain is both dramatic and amusing. The song concludes with a playful farewell, '¡hasta luego lucas!!,' a common Spanish phrase meaning 'see you later,' which wraps up the comedic narrative on a light note. Through 'Son Ardores,' Los Morancos manage to turn a mundane and uncomfortable experience into a source of laughter, showcasing their talent for blending humor with everyday life.
