Overall Meaning

The lyrics of El Último Ke Zierre's song Pobrecito tell a dark story of a person who wanted to see someone so badly that they went to the extreme of visiting a cemetery and unearthing the deceased individual. The singer expresses sadness and remorse for what they have done, as they observe the poor person who was buried there. They describe the body as "callao," which means silent, suggesting that the person is no longer able to speak or communicate. Furthermore, they describe the body as "podrido," which means rotten or decayed, providing a graphic image of the state in which they found the person.


The song's lyrics suggest a high level of desperation, as the singer is willing to undertake risky and illegal activities to see the person they desire. The final verse of the song provides a tragic image of the aftermath of these actions: "Y si yo muero pues ya que me muera / con mi pobrecito en mi raíz." In English, this translates to "And if I die, then let me die / with my poor little one in my roots." These lyrics communicate a feeling of hopelessness and despair, as the singer seemingly can't find comfort or connection with living people, and instead turns to the dead to seek solace.


Line by Line Meaning

El otro día lo quería ver,
I wanted to see him the other day,


fui al cementerio y lo desenterré,
So I went to the cemetery and unearthed him,


y me dio pena cuando lo observé,
And when I looked at him, I felt sorry for him,


el pobrecito estaba ahí callao, callao,
The poor guy was there, silent, silent,


y podido, podrido, podrido.
And he was all decayed, decayed, decayed.
