Perdido En Un Barco

Maná's song 'Perdido En Un Barco' takes listeners on a surreal and sensual journey aboard a cruise ship. The protagonist finds himself on a seemingly ordinary trip to the Caribbean, but quickly realizes that the ship is anything but normal. The lyrics describe a scenario where the only passengers are women, creating an atmosphere of both confusion and excitement. The protagonist is caught in a whirlwind of emotions, unsure if this is a stroke of luck or a bizarre mistake. The repeated question, 'oh que va a suceder, con tanta mujer,' highlights his bewilderment and anticipation about what might happen next.

The chorus, 'Perdido en un barco, perdido en sus brazos,' captures the essence of the protagonist's experience. He feels lost, not just physically on the ship, but also emotionally and sensually in the presence of so many women. The imagery of 'coco y piel tostada' and 'figuras van desnudas bien bronceadas' evokes a tropical paradise filled with allure and temptation. The protagonist's visceral reactions and accelerated heartbeat reflect his intense attraction and the overwhelming nature of his surroundings.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's initial confusion gives way to a sense of surrender. He feels 'devorado' and 'desahuciado,' yet he finds a solution in embracing his situation and staying on the ship with all the women. The playful and repetitive 'Ole-ola-o-no perdido en un barco' in the final chorus underscores his acceptance and enjoyment of this unexpected adventure. Maná's 'Perdido En Un Barco' is a vivid and captivating exploration of desire, confusion, and the thrill of the unknown, set against the backdrop of a tropical cruise.
