Caperucita Feroz

The song 'Caperucita Feroz' by Orquesta Mondragon is a playful and metaphorical take on the classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. The lyrics are sung from the perspective of the wolf, who expresses a desire to be close to his love interest, referred to as 'mi amor' (my love), in order to see, hear, and speak to her better. The repetition of these lines suggests a persistent and perhaps obsessive longing to be near the object of his affection.

The wolf's intentions are further revealed through the lyrics that speak of embracing with claws and kissing with teeth, which evoke the wolf's animalistic nature and hint at a more primal and possibly dangerous desire. This juxtaposition of romance and predatory instinct creates a sense of tension and intrigue, as the listener is left to wonder about the true nature of the wolf's feelings. The mention of buying a ring, a cake, and a yo-yo, followed by the wish to dance a 'lindo rock & roll,' adds a whimsical and surreal touch to the song, contrasting the more menacing aspects of the wolf's character.

Ultimately, the song culminates in the wolf's declaration of wanting a never-ending night where both can 'devour' each other, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for a passionate encounter. The use of the word 'devour' ties back to the wolf's predatory nature, but in the context of the song, it seems to symbolize an intense and consuming love. 'Caperucita Feroz' plays with the themes of desire, danger, and the duality of human nature, all wrapped up in a catchy and danceable tune.
