Pollito
Los Toreros Muertos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
iene un sueño
Sueña que es un gran torero, valiente y feroz
Hoy pollito no es nadie, pero tiene un sueño
Sueña que es un gran guerrero en el campo de honor
Los Toreros Muertos's song "Pollito" talks about a young chicken who dreams of being a great torero. Despite being perceived as weak and insignificant in the eyes of other animals and humans, Pollito believes in himself and his abilities. He aspires to become a brave and fearless fighter in the arena, just like a bullfighter. The lyrics suggest that no matter how small or weak one may seem, one should not let others' perception hold them back from pursuing their dreams.
Interestingly, the song's title "Pollito" translates to "little chicken" in English. This choice of character adds a layer of humor and light-heartedness to the song's message of following one's dreams. In addition, the song's upbeat and playful melody further adds to its lighthearted feel. The use of the traditional Spanish style of music also adds to the ambience of the song.
