Discover the story of the song > Pedro Navajas – Rubén Blades

The lyrics tell the story of a man named Pedro Navaja who walks around the neighborhood with a knife hidden in his coat. He sees a woman struggling to earn money and puts his knife to her throat to rob her, but she pulls out a gun and shoots him. Despite the noise, no one goes to investigate and the only witness is a drunk man who steals from the bodies and walks away singing. The lyrics show how life can be unpredictable and difficult, and how karma can come back to hurt you.
