Ahora Que Soy Rico
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que pueden decirme que todo me sobra
Se que la suerte es primero
Que con el dinero no todo se compra
Siento que no soy el de antes
Y aveces mi vida desprecio yo mismo
Siento que estoy en las nubes
No cabe duda
Yo nací con el santo de espaldas
No cabe duda
La pobreza la traigo en el alma
Quiero cantarle al destino
Pero por mi suerte no se que cantarle
Yo se que ahora soy rico
Pero sin embargo ya quise matarme.
Que puedo hacer en el mundo
Si voy por caminos de espinas sembrados
De que me sirve gritarles
Ahora soy rico, si soy desgraciado.
A no cabe duda
The lyrics of Pedro Infante's song "Ahora Que Soy Rico" explore the conflicting emotions and experiences that come with newfound wealth. The singer reflects on the fact that now that he has money, people may perceive that he lacks nothing. However, he understands that luck and fortune come before money in importance, and that not everything can be bought with wealth.
The lyrics convey a sense of dissatisfaction with the current state of the singer's life. He feels like he is not the same person he used to be, and at times he even despises his own life. Despite being on cloud nine, he remembers the dark times and the struggles he has faced in the past.
The song also touches on the theme of poverty, suggesting that even though he may now be rich, poverty still resides in his soul. This could imply that the singer carries the emotional scars and memories of his past struggles with him, no matter his financial status.
The lyrics express a yearning to sing about destiny, but the singer feels unable to find the right words or melody to do so, perhaps indicating a loss of purpose or direction in his life. Despite his newfound wealth, there is a deep underlying unhappiness, as he confesses that he has even contemplated suicide.
Ultimately, the song explores the paradoxical nature of wealth and happiness. The singer is financially well-off, but he feels miserable and trapped, surrounded by thorny paths and unable to find fulfillment. It suggests that money alone cannot bring true happiness or transcend the scars of poverty.
