Don’t ya get tired of them talking about us
We talk bad and we talk good
You are just making us more famouse
Just love my fans, I even love the hatters you know
Im use to it
[Coro:]
Sometimes it just feels that
If we weren’t Aventura,
Trabajo en la fritura,
You wouldn’t speak of us.
And all these girls all love us –
Do they really really love us?
Cause in school it wasn’t like this
Y hoy todo cambio
No me conoces solos escuchas mi voz.
You don’t know me,
You haven’t spoke to none of us.
Como te atreves a llamarme comparon.
Yo soy humilde tengo buen corazon.
Para llegar a la fama
Tienes que ser un campeon.
We’ve been booed out of stage
And look at us.
You can’t stop us you can’t fade us.
I love my fans but fuck the haters.
This industry is full of hate and love.
Hoy me siento ser el mas popular,
Pero no olvido mi barrio.
Holla back mi gente hermosa
Que tanto quiero;
Dominicano, Puertorriqueño.
Gracias a Dios, gracias a Mami,
Gracias Papa
[Coro:]
Sometimes it just feels that
If we weren’t Aventura,

Cause in school it wasn’t like this
Y hoy todo cambio
Because of you we’re number one –
Que me ames o me odies
Because of you we’re number one –
And we’ll be together always
Because of you we’re number one –
Los envidiosos listen up.
We invented this style.
[Speaking:]

[Coro:]
Sometimes it just feels that

You wouldn’t speak of us.
And all these girls all love us –
Do they really really love us?
Cause in school it wasn’t like this
Y hoy todo cambio

Yeah man
Yo mikey pictures us if we were something else
Will they still follow us
Yo lenny what if you had to find another job man
I think people won’t look at us the same dog
Yo what if henry was flipping some burgers dog

Or picture me as a po-po and stuff like a seargent like jonny
Man they will body slam you man
Nigga try to play me and shit
Yo but whatever love us or hat us
Thats right we aventura , always will be
Nine years now , nine years dog
Still going stong , they don’t know that though
Now they do
This is likes gods project
Reflecting on Fame and Authenticity
“Gracias” by Aventura is a heartfelt reflection on the realities of fame, the duality of being adored and criticized, and the importance of staying grounded. The band addresses both their supporters and detractors, acknowledging that while success has brought them to the spotlight, it also comes with its fair share of judgment and envy. Through a blend of English and Spanish lyrics, Aventura opens up about their humble beginnings and the challenges they’ve faced, expressing gratitude for the fans and their roots. The song is both a thank you and a candid statement about the pressures and misconceptions that surround a popular group.
Gratitude and Staying True
The chorus highlights a sense of disbelief at how drastically their lives have changed since their school days. Despite the attention and love from fans, the group questions the sincerity behind their newfound popularity. They emphasize their humility and the significance of their background, never forgetting where they came from. The song ends with a playful yet serious contemplation of what life would be like without music, reinforcing the importance of staying true to oneself and one’s community, regardless of fame.
