Nuestra Alegre Juventud
La Polla Records Lyrics

The lyrics to La Polla Records' song "Nuestra Alegre Juventud" reflect a feeling of apathy towards both work and unemployment, and a sense of complacency with the status quo. The first two lines declare that the singer doesn't enjoy being unemployed nor working, emphasizing a sense of disillusionment towards both options. The next lines ask a rhetorical question about what can be done with all the money and social advantages they may have, suggesting that even with these material benefits, they still feel unfulfilled. The chorus, which repeats twice, begins with the line "vamos dejando pasar" (we keep letting time go by), and continues to celebrate their "joyful youth" while simultaneously expressing resignation towards their current situation. In the third verse, the singer ironically congratulates the system for how well it works, further emphasizing this sense of disillusionment and resignation.

The song highlights themes such as disillusionment, apathy and complacency, and speaks to the disengagement that some may feel towards societal norms and expectations. It also comments on the ways that social privileges may not necessarily lead to fulfillment, and how systems can create a sense of hopelessness and resignation in individuals.
