Que Anda Haciendo El Viejón

The song "Que Anda Haciendo El Viejón" by Grupo Exterminador is a heartfelt tribute to a father from the perspective of a son who deeply appreciates his father's presence and support. The lyrics, set in a scene of late-night revelry, express the son's pride and gratitude for his father, affectionately referred to as 'el viejon,' which translates to 'the old man' in a familiar and endearing way.

The song's narrative unfolds in a festive atmosphere, where the son invites others to recognize and honor his father's love and sacrifices. The repeated offering of a beer to 'el viejon' symbolizes the son's desire to celebrate his father's life and the joy of sharing a drink together as a sign of camaraderie and respect. The mention of a band playing music underscores the celebratory mood, suggesting that the father and son are enjoying a moment of bonding over shared tastes in music and entertainment.

The lyrics also touch upon the theme of parental love being priceless and beyond any material wealth. The son acknowledges the unconditional love his parents have given him, especially as he refers to himself as 'este borracho,' indicating a self-awareness of his own imperfections. The song concludes with a light-hearted nod to the mother's potential disapproval of the late-night drinking, yet it's quickly softened by the assurance that the father's love will appease her, highlighting the strong family bonds and the father's role as a peacemaker.
