Is this a Spanish children song or what is it all about? (song in "Grasa" YT series)
I am a beginner learner of Spanish. Recently I've found a Spanish series on YT called "Grasa". I don't understand much from what they say, I only catch some words here and there, but I can still follow the story more or less with the visuals.

There is one recurring motive in this series - the song they sing to calm someone down. Every character in the movie seems to know it so I assume that it must be either a very famous song in Spain or some sort of children song maybe? Or is it just a made-up song for the series? Since my Spanish is still rather poor I can't really find it by putting lyrics into google. Can someone help? What is this song and how come every person in this series seems to know it?

Here is the timestamp of the video where they sing it for the first time:
@21:50

Answer

Hi Barbara, I really don't know the serie, but I found your question interesting, so I have checked the link.

The song is not any famous melody that I know, but I can help you with what the song is about.

I can be sure that is not a children song 😅. The song says: "I am a bad bet. The same person that leaves a party at the last moment. I always have answers but any of them is the correct one. I am only surviving, but I am losing the game. The death follows me and I am running, and it is close to catch me. And I am alone in my room. There is gunpowder in that corner. Gunpowder that gives me tachycardia in my heart".

I think this song is about drugs and crime, because of the content of the serie and what the lyrics of the song says. I can relate the word "pólvora" which means Gunpowder as Cocaine maybe. I am not pretty sure. But it is something like that.

I hope it can help you.

Have a good day/night!!
