Trae Pa' K Esa Yerba Güena

Melendi's song "Trae Pa' K Esa Yerba Güena" is a humorous and satirical take on the Christmas season and the idea of new beginnings. The lyrics are filled with playful and irreverent imagery, poking fun at traditional holiday themes and societal norms. The song opens with a reference to the arrival of Christmas and the Three Wise Men, who are traditionally known for bringing gifts. However, Melendi twists this by mentioning that some people receive coal for being bad, while others get into trouble with the neighborhood 'camellos' (a slang term for drug dealers).

The song continues with a visit to the Nativity scene, where the protagonist humorously describes an encounter that is far from holy. This irreverent take on a sacred scene is a clear indication of the song's satirical nature. The lyrics also touch on the idea of making New Year's resolutions, such as quitting smoking and avoiding bars, but with a twist. The protagonist acknowledges that while the new year brings a chance for change, the current night is still part of the old year, and thus, it's time to bring out the 'yerba güena' (good weed).

Melendi also takes a jab at contemporary political issues, mentioning that they no longer want Santa Claus because his 'president' is a 'borrego' (sheep), a term used to describe someone who blindly follows others. This likely refers to political leaders and their decisions, such as going to war. The song's playful and rebellious tone is a hallmark of Melendi's style, known for blending humor with social commentary. Overall, "Trae Pa' K Esa Yerba Güena" is a witty critique of holiday traditions, societal expectations, and political issues, wrapped in a catchy and entertaining package.
