Quién da un peso por mis sueños
El Tri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmmmm yeah

Después de oír el radio
Y ver la televisión
Le eche una hojeada a los periódicos de hoy
Y vi que las gentes viven tristes
Viven con temor
Vi que los ricos se hacen pobres
Mientras yo soy un un anate soñador

Quien da un peso por mis sueños
Por mi forma millonaria de vivir
Mi riqueza se compone de una flor
Es así como disfruta un soñador

Ohí por las noticias
Que el mar se va a secar
Y que el popocatepetl esta a punto de estallar
Y yo me siento tan dichoso
De ser un feliz
Un loco peligroso vagabundo y soñador

Quien da un peso por mis sueños
Por mi forma millonaria de vivir
Mi riqueza se compone de una flor
Es asi como disfruta un soñador

Mmmmm

Quien da un peso por mis sueños
Por mi forma millonaria de vivir
Mi riqueza se compone de una flor
Es asi como disfruta un soñador

Quien da un peso por mis sueños
Por mi forma millonaria de vivir
Mi riqueza se compone de una flor
Es así como disfruta
Un soñador





Mmmmm

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of El Tri's song Quién da un peso por mis sueños ("Who will give a peso for my dreams") speak to the disillusionment and disappointment that the singer experiences upon consuming news and media. The song opens with the line, "After listening to the radio and watching television, I took a look at today's newspapers and saw that people live sadly, they live in fear." The singer observes that the rich become poor while he himself is a dreamer, an "anate" which means "small duck" in Mexican Spanish and is often used colloquially to refer to someone who is simple or naive.


Despite the bleak news in the world, the singer maintains his optimism and celebrates his own way of living. He declares, "My richness is composed of a flower, this is how a dreamer enjoys life." In the bridge of the song, the singer references more dire news, specifically that the sea is drying up and the Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico is about to erupt. However, he still feels "happy to be a happy, dangerous, wandering and dreaming fool."


The song's message ultimately seems to be one of valuing dreams and optimism over material wealth and subscribing to a sense of fear or despair. It encourages listeners to cultivate their own internal sources of happiness and to maintain a sense of playfulness and imagination even in the face of difficult circumstances.
