Song Meaning of “Me Llevo los Cueros” by Chivirico Davila
Me Llevo los Cueros by Chivirico Davila paints a picture of a man looking back on his life and how it has been. He is reflecting on his own journey and the accomplishments he has made as well as the struggles and lessons he has faced along the way. Throughout the song, he is also describing his resilience in the face of difficulties, and that no matter what happens, he will overcome any obstacle in his way and can withstand adversity “carrying his leathers”.
It seems to imply that he has faced a lot of hardship and complexity in the past but is still determined to move forward. It suggests that the past experiences have made him strong and capable of withstanding any storm he might encounter. This is why he takes with him “los cueros”, (leathers in English), which could be interpreted as a metaphor for his resilience when it comes to facing adversity.
In the chorus, he explains that although he is taking his experiences in life with him, he won’t let those influence him too much so he can appreciate the present. In other words, life is a journey that can sometimes be filled with struggles and challenge, but no matter how tough the road is, he is adamant to not allow his past to hold him back and is willing to forge his own path with determination and hope.
