Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por ser un amante, un amante pobre
Ella maldijo mi nombre por ser un perro más duro que un roble
Ay pero yo no quiero trago
Yo no quiero más droga
Yo te quiero mujer
Vos sos lo que me ahoga
Yo no quiero rueda, yo no quiero más alcohol
Sálvame, vos sos mi última opción
Dice que siempre consigo dinero
Pa' drogas alcohol y pa'l putiadero
Y sé que siempre me lleva la fiesta semanas enteras y no me suelta
Ay pero yo no quiero trago
Yo no quiero más droga
Yo te quiero mujer
Vos sos lo que me ahoga
Yo no quiero rueda, yo no quiero más alcohol
Sálvame, vos sos mi última opción
Tanta mona me envenena
Tanta mona es mi condena
Tanta mona me envenena
Tanta mona es mi condena
Y pobre yo
me quedo acá, bailando sin poder parar
Pobre yo no puedo llorar y eso me duele mucho más
Tanta mona me envenena
Tanta mona es mi condena
Y tanta mona me envenena
Tanta mona es mi condena
Pobre yo no quiero trago
Yo no quiero más droga
Yo te quiero mujer
Vos sos lo que me ahoga
Yo no quiero rueda, yo no quiero más alcohol
Sálvame, vos sos mi última opción
Tanta mona me envenena
Tanta mona es mi condena
Tanta mona me envenena
Tanta mona es mi condena
Tanta mona me envenena
Tanta mona es mi condena
Tanta mona me envenena
Tanta mona es mi condena
Y pobre yo
The song "El Pobre 2" by Bajo Tierra speaks about a man who is in love with a woman who doesn't approve of him because he is poor and addicted to alcohol, drugs, and prostitutes. The woman curses his name and sees him as another dog harder than an oak tree. However, the man doesn't want these vices anymore; he wants the woman who suffocates him.
The chorus shows his desire to quit his addictions and be with the woman he loves. He pleads with her that she is his last hope to save him. In the second verse, he realizes that his addiction has controlled him for too long, and it's become his burden, his curse. The repetition of "Tanta mona me envenena, Tanta mona es mi condena" emphasizes the immense pain and destruction his addiction causes him.
The lyrics show the internal struggle of a man who wants to leave his addictions behind and the external judgment and pressure he receives from society. It's a reflection of the challenges and stigma that people living in poverty and addiction face. Bajo Tierra's lyrics provide a candid and emotional portrayal of a man's journey to break free from the bondage of addiction.
