Barata y Desconton

Trolebus's song 'Barata y Desconton' paints a vivid and gritty picture of a chaotic street brawl in a neighborhood. The lyrics are filled with colloquial language and slang, capturing the raw energy and violence of the scene. The song starts with a casual request for cigarettes, setting a seemingly mundane tone before quickly escalating into a violent confrontation. The mention of 'ese buki' who didn't pay attention and subsequently got beaten up sets the stage for the ensuing chaos.

The narrative unfolds with a group of people, referred to as 'flota regandalla,' attacking a young man who then calls for backup from his own gang. The detailed descriptions of the fight, including biting, kicking, and using various objects as weapons, highlight the brutality of the encounter.

The song's language is raw and unfiltered, reflecting the harsh reality of street life.

As the brawl intensifies, another gang from a neighboring area arrives, armed with sticks and chains, to join the fray. The arrival of the 'caguamos' adds another layer of complexity to the conflict, showing how quickly violence can escalate and draw in more participants. The song culminates with the arrival of the police, referred to as 'tirantes' and 'granaderos,' who attempt to restore order with batons, further contributing to the chaos. The repeated phrase 'abaratan la colonia a puro macanazo' (they cheapen the neighborhood with pure baton blows) underscores the destructive impact of the violence on the community.
