Borrachos En La Esquina

Flema's song 'Borrachos En La Esquina' captures the raw essence of youthful rebellion and existential reflection. The title, which translates to 'Drunkards on the Corner,' sets the stage for a narrative that revolves around a group of young people who find themselves on the fringes of society. They observe passersby with a mix of curiosity and disdain, questioning their purpose and destination. The repeated imagery of 'signs of question marks printed on their faces' suggests a deep-seated uncertainty and a search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world.

The lyrics also touch on themes of defiance and confrontation. The line 'Ratis de mierda terminaran cogidos por lo Flema' is a direct challenge to authority, with 'Ratis' being a slang term for police. This rebellious stance is a hallmark of Flema's punk rock ethos, reflecting a broader discontent with societal norms and institutions. The band's name itself, Flema, which means 'phlegm,' further underscores their disdain for conventionality and their embrace of a raw, unfiltered expression.

Amidst this backdrop of rebellion, there is also a sense of camaraderie and escapism. The repeated chorus, 'Y nosotros, con lo chicos, nos tomamos un litro mas de vino,' highlights the bond between the group members as they share a moment of solace and solidarity over a bottle of wine. This act of drinking together is not just about intoxication but also about finding a temporary refuge from the harsh realities they face. The chant of 'Vino, vino, vino, vino, vino!!!' serves as both a rallying cry and a form of resistance, celebrating their unity and defiance in the face of an uncertain future.
