Clodomiro El Ñajo

The song 'Clodomiro El Ñajo' by Luis Enrique Mejía Godoy is a humorous narrative that tells the story of a character named Clodomiro Artiaga, nicknamed 'El Ñajo'. The song sets the scene in the Barrio La Reinaga, where Clodomiro works as a poorly paid security guard at Cleto Urrós's pharmacy. The lyrics describe Clodomiro's daily life, his personality, and his unique way of remembering things by setting them to music.

The chorus of the song, which repeats Clodomiro's name and asks where he is going so seriously, is followed by his response about going to watch a soccer game and his struggles with love life, which he humorously compares to a cat fighting on its back. This gives us a glimpse into Clodomiro's character, portraying him as a simple, relatable person with everyday concerns. The song's humor is evident when Clodomiro forgets the words to his 'musical trick' for remembering tasks, only recalling the tune, which leads to a comical situation at the hardware store.
