Discover the story of the song > Chicha Roja – La Yegros

The lyrics of "Chicha Roja" talk about a protagonist who is asking the "chichera" (a woman who sells "chicha roja," a traditional beverage) for some chicha. They promise to pay her later once the rain stops and the ground gets warm. The protagonist describes how they have stayed awake and lost control, having breakfast with the morning sun. They also mention the sound of cumbias and horns on the street corner, and how there is no promise of tomorrow or anything else.
