Asturies borracha

Skama La Rede's song "Asturies borracha" is a satirical and rebellious anthem that uses humor and irony to critique various political and social issues in Spain. The lyrics are filled with references to significant events and figures, such as the election of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (ZP), Spain's exit from the World Cup, and the appearance of philosopher Gustavo Bueno on the reality show "Gran Hermano." Each of these events is met with the protagonist's decision to drink excessively, using alcohol as a means to escape the frustrations and absurdities of life.

The song's chorus emphasizes the protagonist's desire to drink to forget and drown out the things that bother them. This act of drinking becomes a form of protest and a way to cope with the disillusionment and dissatisfaction with the political and social landscape. The lyrics also highlight a preference for local Asturian culture and traditions, such as calimocho (a drink made with red wine and cola) and sidra (cider), over national symbols and institutions like the Spanish monarchy and the Constitution.

The song's rebellious spirit is further underscored by its call to action: to fight for a "drunken Asturias" rather than a militarized one. This line suggests a preference for a more carefree and liberated way of life, free from the constraints and pressures of the state. The repeated references to alcohol and drunkenness serve as a metaphor for freedom and resistance against the establishment, making "Asturies borracha" a powerful and provocative statement on the state of contemporary Spanish society.
