Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Todas esas cosas que no se venden
Con una sonrisa compro la soledad
Del que marcha solo por el camino
Con una sonrisa puedo comprar
La mirada dura de mi enemigo
Con una sonrisa compro el dolor de aquel
Y compraré, compraré
El llanto de los niños compraré, compraré
El hambre del mendigo que ignoré
Y compraré, compraré
Aquellos pies descalzos que pisé, compraré
Con solo una sonrisa compraré
Con una sonrisa puedo comprar
La mirada triste del que se marcha
Y el futuro incierto de aquel que se quedó
Solo con la noche y con la mañana
Con una sonrisa puedo comprar
Todas esas cosas que no se venden
Con una sonrisa compro la libertad
Del que vive preso por el dolor
Y compraré, compraré
El llanto de los niños compraré, compraré
El hambre del mendigo que ignoré
Y compraré, compraré
Aquellos pies descalzos que pisé, compraré
Con solo una sonrisa compraré
Y compraré, compraré
El llanto de los niños compraré, compraré
El hambre del mendigo que ignoré
Y compraré, compraré
Aquellos pies descalzos que pisé, compraré
Con solo una sonrisa compraré
Y compraré, compraré
El llanto de los niños compraré, compraré
El hambre del mendigo que ignoré
Y compraré, compraré
Aquellos pies descalzos que pisé, compraré
Con solo una sonrisa compraré
Y compraré, compraré
The lyrics of Jose Luis Perales's song, Comprare, revolve around the idea that with just a smile, we can buy the intangible things that cannot be sold, such as freedom, love, and peace. Through the song, the singer states that with his smile, he can buy various emotions and experiences of people, including enemies, the suffering of those who have lost their loved ones, the tears of children, hunger and poverty of the ignored and mistreated people, and the loneliness of those who are imprisoned by their own pain. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "compraré" which means "I will buy," emphasizing the notion that with a smile, anything is possible despite the lack of money.
The song Comprare is an excellent example of the power of emotions that are hidden beneath materialism. The singer challenges the capitalist worldview that everything can be bought with money and emphasizes that the intangible things in life, such as happiness, love, and compassion, are essential and cannot be bought with money. The lyrics suggest that a smile can break through barriers and bring together opposites through a shared sense of humanity.
In conclusion, Comprare is a beautiful yet simple song that emphasizes the importance of empathy and kindness in today's world. It offers a powerful message about the value of intangible things that cannot be measured with money. The song inspires the listener to reflect on their abilities to create positive change.
