Prebostes Taraos

Mama Ladilla's song 'Prebostes Taraos' is a satirical and critical commentary on societal and political issues, particularly focusing on the absurdity of certain laws and the incompetence of those in power. The narrative begins with a character named Macario, who encounters a woman named María. She invites him to join her, and they end up using a substance referred to as 'cera' (wax). This substance causes Macario significant discomfort, leading him to leave and seek refuge in a bar, only to be repelled by the pervasive smell of the same substance.

The lyrics then shift to a broader critique, highlighting how widespread the use of 'cera' has become, symbolizing a larger societal problem. The phrase 'Todo cristo fumando cera, estafada España entera' suggests that everyone is engaging in this behavior, and the entire country feels deceived. The mention of paying '10.000 pelas' for 'media vela' (half a candle) underscores the sense of being cheated or shortchanged, reflecting broader feelings of disillusionment and frustration.

The song's chorus directly blames the 'prebostes taraos' (crazy bigwigs) for these issues, criticizing their foolishness and incompetence. The lyrics argue that it is nonsensical to prohibit the cultivation of a plant, implying that such laws are irrational and counterproductive. The term 'milikis' at the end, a colloquial term for military personnel, suggests that the authorities' heavy-handed approach to solving these problems is equally misguided. Through its humorous and irreverent tone, 'Prebostes Taraos' delivers a powerful message about the failures of those in power and the absurdity of certain societal norms and regulations.
