Plata
Árbol Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

por lo menos para mi
el dinero es lo primero
plata plata plata plata plata quiero yo

por lo menos para mi
el dinero es lo primero
quiero que mis bienes
todo el tiempo esten en alza
tener mil 'rolls-royce'
y pesar oro en mi balanza
mi caddie de golf, un mayordomo y una esclava
un personal trainer, un sirviente, una criada

por lo menos ..

y poder comer manjares que nunca he probado
tener un castillo y usar hoteles muy caros
usar de papel higienico billetes raros
y poder tener asi, mi océano privado

por lo menos ..

quiero tener todos mis dientes de oro y diamante
para que todas conmigo asi quieran casarse
un parque de diversiones solo para mi
y antes de morirme que me guarden en un freezer
pero yo no tengo nada que comer
yo no tengo casa como podras ver




duermo en tu vereda y te pido a vos
que siempre que puedas me ayudes por favor

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Plata" by Árbol express an obsession with money and the desire for material possessions. The singer declares that money is the most important thing to them and that they want to accumulate as much of it as possible. They list various luxury items they want to own, including Rolls Royces, gold, and a personal staff. They also express a desire to eat exotic foods, stay in expensive hotels, and use money as toilet paper. The singer even fantasizes about owning their own private ocean.


However, in the final verse, the tone of the song takes a sudden shift. The singer reveals that despite their desire for luxury, they have nothing to eat or a place to live. They reveal that they sleep on the streets and ask for help from the listener. This sudden shift in tone reveals the emptiness and perhaps even the hypocrisy of the singer's obsession with wealth.


Overall, the lyrics to "Plata" explore the theme of the seductive power of money and the dangers of materialism. The song suggests that the pursuit of wealth may ultimately lead to emptiness and misery.
