Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Raja De Tu Falda by Estopa from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

It was a silly, hot afternoon

One of those that the sun burns your forehead

It was the summer of '97

And I was dying to see you

My only idea was to win you over

It was to take you anywhere

That day I played at the bar with no name

And there I hoped to find you

I put on some tight little pants

The concert T-shirt

Come on, Josele, head for the car

Because tonight we'll eat it up

And as I passed by your street, there you were

Waiting at the bus stop

Munching on that lollipop with style

What a vice, what a vice!

I don't know what hit me in the back

When I saw the slit of your skirt

That a Seat Panda swerved in front of me

And it chewed up the bumper of my Ford Escort

Chorus 1

Because of the slit of your skirt, I

Had a crash with a Seat Panda

Because of the slit of your skirt, I

Had a crash with a Seat Panda

10:40 post meridiem

Verse 2

We arrived late, that doesn't change

And the guy in the joint is pissed

Because there's still nothing set up

And the crowd that keeps pouring in

And I plug in that keep plugging in

My brother tests that keeps testing

Does this get heard or not get heard?

Amid the people's heat, soul of the ambience

The dazzling spotlights are very powerful

The audience in front very expectant

Hot, hot!

Suddenly the door opened

While I was grabbing the guitar

And my legs trembled

On seeing again the slit of your skirt

Chorus 2

Because of the slit of your skirt, I

I snapped three strings of this guitar

Because of the slit of your skirt

I broke three strings of this guitar

Verse 3

And now time has gone by

It seems like it was yesterday

Since you disappeared from the concert

I haven't seen you again

I no longer remember your eyes

Not even your gaze

I can only remember the slit of your skirt

Chorus 3

Because of the slit of your skirt

I've gotten obsessed and I go from bar to bar

Because of the slit of your skirt

I had a crash with a Seat Panda

Because of the slit of your skirt

I had a crash with a Seat Panda

Because of the slit of your skirt

I had a wreck with a Seat Panda

SONG MEANING

Hot asphalt, buzzing guitars, and a dangerously tempting skirt slit: La Raja de tu Falda is Estopa’s hilarious confession of how one tiny detail can scramble all common sense. On a sweltering summer afternoon in 1997, the singer heads to a bar gig, spots the girl of his dreams licking a lollipop at the bus stop, and gets so distracted by the cut in her skirt that he smashes his Ford Escort into a humble Seat Panda. Later, the same hypnotic memory makes him snap three guitar strings mid-concert, proving that desire can be as chaotic as it is thrilling.

Behind the humor and the catchy rumba-rock beat, the song paints a vivid portrait of youthful obsession: that moment when a single image feels larger than life and every mishap becomes a legendary anecdote. Years later, he no longer remembers her eyes or her smile, only that unforgettable slit in her skirt – a witty reminder that sometimes the smallest things leave the deepest mark.
