Significado de Girlfriend/boyfriend (feat. janet)

collapse icon

La canción "Girlfriend/Boyfriend", interpretada por Blackstreet y con la colaboración de Janet Jackson, se enmarca dentro del género R&B y fue publicada como parte del álbum "Another Level" en 1996. Esta pieza destaca tanto por su ritmo pegajoso como por sus letras audaces que abordan la ambigüedad en las relaciones modernas.

El significado de la letra se centra en una dinámica complicada entre dos personas involucradas románticamente. A medida que transcurre la canción, se evidencia el conflicto interno de los protagonistas, quienes lidian con el acoso afectivo de sus respectivas parejas. El uso repetido de frases como "I can't handle it" subraya la incapacidad de gestionar la presión emocional que estas relaciones ejercen sobre ellos; están atrapados entre el deseo y la necesidad de romper con un vínculo tóxico.

Las variaciones de género entre “girlfriend” y “boyfriend” reflejan no solo una dualidad en el amor, sino también una crítica a los estereotipos asociados a las relaciones heteronormativas. Además, hay un componente de ironía presente cuando los personajes afirman estar enamorados, mientras al mismo tiempo buscan distancia. Este contraste puede considerarse un comentario sobre cómo las modernidades sociales complican el amor en tiempos donde las conexiones superficiales son más comunes que nunca.

Un aspecto interesante es cómo Blackstreet aborda temas típicos del amor y el desamor con un lenguaje explícito y crudo. La letra es franca acerca del deseo físico y también revela inseguridades emocionales, lo cual añade profundidad al relato del amante atormentado e insatisfecho. Las metáforas utilizadas sugieren una lucha constante entre lo físico y lo emocional: por un lado buscan satisfacción momentánea ("blowin' up my beeper 'cause she ready to bone"), mientras que por otro son llevados a reflexionar sobre lo dañinas que pueden ser esas conexiones.

En cuanto a datos curiosos, "Girlfriend/Boyfriend" se convirtió en todo un éxito en su época, logrando colarse en las listas de popularidad gracias a su mezcla seductora de R&B contemporáneo con influencias hip hop. La producción estuvo marcada por características distintivas del sonido característico de Blackstreet: armonías vocales elaboradas, ritmos contagiosos y una producción bien pulida. La colaboración con Janet Jackson no solo aportó star power al proyecto sino que también ofreció una visión femenina poderosa dentro de la narrativa presentada.

La recepción crítica fue generalmente positiva; muchos alabaron particularmente la habilidad del grupo para fusionar melodías suaves con letras provocativas sin perder autenticidad. En este sentido, "Girlfriend/Boyfriend" sirve como un ejemplo paradigmático donde temas relevantes para los jóvenes —como obsesiones poco saludables— son tratados desde un ángulo realista pero accesible.

En conclusión, "Girlfriend/Boyfriend" trasciende ser una simple canción romántica; es un vistazo profundo a las complejidades del amor contemporáneo donde deseo e incomodidad coexisten. Blackstreet logra capturar esta dinámica compleja con ingenio lírico y una producción irresistible que resuena incluso años después de su lanzamiento original.

Letra traducida a Español

Blackstreet, JJ
Vamos allá
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Sí, qué pasa

Qué tal novia?
Qué tal novio?
Oye, presenta a mi novia
Presenta a mi novio
Esta es mi novia
Este es mi novio
Entonces, qué tal novia?
Entonces, qué tal novio?
Sí, ya sabes, uh-huh, qué pasa?

No puedo quitarme a esta chica de encima
Dale un poco de amor que no sabe cómo actuar
Se está enfadando porque no la quiero de vuelta
No sabía que la cosa era así con ella
Ahora tengo que vigilar lo que empaquemos
Esta chica es una atracción fatal
Quizás porque tiene algo que desabrochar
Ella no sabía que yo lo hacía así, por eso

-1-
Novia en el teléfono
Me llama todo el día por teléfono
Haciendo sonar mi beeper porque está lista para liarse
Me jugó una vez, no me dejará en paz

Sigue enviándome mensajes, llamándome, acechándome, siguiéndome
Diciéndome que me ama,
Pero mi novia dijo: simplemente manejarlo.
No puedo manejarlo.
Simplemente maneja esto.
No puedo manejarlo.
Simplemente mándame un mensaje.
No puedo manejarlo.
Uh, contesta JJ una vez.

No puedo sacarlo de mi cabeza.
Estaba haciendo al chico jugar a verdad o reto.
Llámame al teléfono aquí es donde estoy.
El chico dijo: cariño eres mi favorita.
Son las 2 AM y él ha vuelto otra vez,
Brazos en su cintura y en medio de mi camino,
Planeando qué hacer mientras yo mezclo,
Ya hay un poco de picante en esto.

-2-
Novio en el teléfono
Me llamas todo el día por teléfono,
Haciendo sonar mi pager porque está listo para liarse,
Me jugó una vez y no me dejará solo.

Sigue enviándome mensajes, llamándome, acechándome, siguiéndome,
Diciéndome que me ama,
Pero mi nene dijo; simplemente manejalo.
No puedo manejarlo.
Simplemente hazlo.
No puedo manejarlo. < br/ > Simplemente hazlo. < br/ > No puedo manejarlo. < br/ > Simplemente hazlo. < br/ > No puedo manejarlo.

Uh, uh sí; apaga las luces; se va a poner muy oscuro.
No eras inteligente; empezaste a liarte con Ja con tu corazón.
Si lo rompí no me odies; agradécelo bebé.
Si mi mundo fuera tuyo te volvería loco.
Porque amo lo que hago; como hacerlo contigo nenes y pronto.
Habla con tus lágrimas hasta que sientas que tienes algo que demostrar.
Y sin nada que perder veo como juegas con esto.
Tienes asuntos conmigo; solo asegúrate de saber que estamos por diversión libre.


Sí sé que estabas perdida; la primera mordida te sorprendió.
E-V-E; chica de piel caramelo vale mucho.
Y antes de tocarte mejor retírate.
Si quieres correr mejor despídete.
Muéstrame algo; los diamantes y las pieles no son nada.
Impresioname ; dame una Hummer , crees que estoy bromeando?
Gran gato con gran arma listo para entrar,
Con una sola vez vas a gritar "¡maldita sea bebé! ¡estoy atrapada!".


Por qué seguirías viniendo hacia mí?
Una vez sufrí un golpe y me di cuenta de que no juego.
Cuál es el trato mami?
Quién te obligó a soportar la ironía de?
Follarme y hacerme alguna cosa compartiendo la coca conmigo.


Sí solías hacerme dar vueltas,
Todas tus ex-chicas solían molestarme.
Cariño nunca fui una mentira,
Tu juego sexual me deja temblando (sin duda).
Cómo puedes negar esta locura?
Shhh ;no hace falta hablar ; sólo vení a Blackstreet
