Tijuana No Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si no das el trancazo tú
Te lo da el de la esquina, lo sabes
Si no das el trancazo tú
Te lo da el de la esquina, lo sabes

Pobre de ti, pobre de ti
Pobre de ti, pobre de ti
Si no das el trancazo tú
Te lo da el de la esquina, lo sabes
Si no das el trancazo tú



Te lo da el de la esquina, lo sabes

Pobre de ti, pobre de ti
Pobre de ti, pobre de ti

Estabas en la cárcel
Y nadie fue ni pa' darte una visita
Estabas en la cárcel
Y nadie fue ni pa' darte una visita

Pobre de ti, pobre de ti
Pobre de ti, pobre de ti

Estabas en la cárcel
Y nadie fue ni pa' darte una visita
Estabas en la cárcel
Y nadie fue ni pa' darte una visita

Pobre de ti, pobre de ti
Pobre de ti, pobre de ti

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tijuana No's song Pobre de Ti express the harsh reality of living in poverty and being trapped in a system that perpetuates inequality. The line "si no das el trancazo tú, te lo da el de la esquina, lo sabes" (if you don't hit hard, someone else will hit you harder) highlights the idea that in order to survive in a cutthroat world, one must be willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means resorting to violence. The repetition of "pobre de ti" (poor you) emphasizes the helplessness and despair that can come with being stuck in a cycle of poverty and violence.


The second half of the song focuses on the isolation and abandonment that can come with being incarcerated. The lines "estabas en la cárcel y nadie fue ni pa' darte una visita" (you were in jail and nobody came to visit you) highlight the loneliness and lack of support that many inmates face. The repetition of "pobre de ti" in this context emphasizes the idea that being imprisoned can be just as much a result of systemic failures as it is a personal failing.
