Pobrecito Mi Patron
Alberto Cortez and Facundo Cabral Lyrics

The lyrics of Alberto Cortez and Facundo Cabral's song, Pobrecito Mi Patron, showcase a unique perspective on poverty and wealth. The first two lines of the song states, "Yo no se quien va mas lejos, La montaña o el cangrejo", which translates to "I don't know who goes further, the mountain or the crab". This opening line suggests that even though both the mountain and crab may seem different, they both have the power to continue moving forward. Similarly, the rich and the poor may seem different, but they both have their own unique ways of making progress.

The chorus of the song, "Pobrecito mi patrón piensa que el pobre soy yo", translates to "My poor boss thinks that I am the poor one". This line showcases the irony in the relationship that the wealthy and the poor share, where the wealthy often misunderstand the struggles of the less fortunate. The song suggests that wealth is not the most important thing in life, and that there are other factors, such as support and perseverance, that are crucial to progress. The song concludes with the line, "Que me importa ganar diez si se contar hasta seis", which translates to "What does it matter if I make ten if I can only count to six", suggesting that wealth is not valuable if it doesn't lead to progress or success.
