Vamos a Tomar

Nuevo Acceso's song 'Vamos a Tomar' is a vibrant celebration of living in the moment and enjoying life's simple pleasures. The lyrics paint a picture of a carefree lifestyle where the protagonist seeks to de-stress and unwind with friends. The act of 'tomar' (drinking) is central to this experience, symbolizing a break from the daily grind and a way to connect with others. The mention of 'botellitas' (bottles) and 'humaderon' (smoke) suggests a party atmosphere where relaxation and camaraderie are paramount.

The song also highlights the importance of friendship and community. The protagonist describes going to San Carlos with his 'homies' to have a good time, emphasizing the collective enjoyment and support within his social circle. The repeated phrase 'así la pasamos' (this is how we spend our time) underscores a shared experience of joy and celebration. The inclusion of 'corridos' (a traditional Mexican music genre) and 'bandona' (a large band) further roots the song in cultural traditions, adding a layer of authenticity and pride in their heritage.

Moreover, 'Vamos a Tomar' reflects a sense of gratitude and appreciation for life's pleasures, earned through hard work. The lyrics mention that nothing is given for free and everything comes with effort ('todo me costo con el sudor de mi frente'). This acknowledgment of hard work juxtaposed with the enjoyment of leisure time creates a balanced narrative of work and play. The protagonist's choice to live life 'al día' (day by day) and savor moments with a 'cerveza bien fría' (cold beer) encapsulates a philosophy of seizing the day and finding joy in the present.
