Te La Dan

Oconnor's song "Te La Dan" delves into the superficial allure of materialism and the societal pressures to conform. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the temptations that come with wealth and luxury, symbolized by "lindas niñas con su lindo culo" (beautiful girls with their beautiful asses) and "autos, lujos y tarjetas de oro" (cars, luxuries, and gold cards). These images represent the superficial desires that society often glorifies, enticing individuals with the promise of a better life filled with material possessions.

However, the song takes a critical turn with the repeated line "Pero aquí te la dan y vos te callás" (But here they give it to you and you stay silent). This phrase suggests a sense of resignation and compliance, highlighting how people often accept these superficial rewards without questioning the underlying costs. The lyrics imply that in exchange for these luxuries, individuals must endure silence and submission, losing their voice and agency in the process.

The song also touches on the struggle to maintain integrity in a world filled with daily lies and the fear of poverty. The line "Hace falta mucha buena leche para no trastabillar" (It takes a lot of good luck to not stumble) underscores the difficulty of navigating a society that prioritizes wealth over honesty. Oconnor's lyrics serve as a critique of the societal norms that pressure individuals to conform and the internal conflict that arises from trying to balance personal values with external expectations.
