Quiere a tu País
PerroZompopo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy cada dia que pasa la vida es mas dura
El trafico te mata, policia dura
Maquiladoras que costuran huesos
Maquiladoras para tu progreso
Hay grupos fuertes que nos presionan
Que nos reducen el alimento
La democracia y el armamento
Pues pronto viene el tiro de gracia

La economia politixada va a la derecha como a la izquierda
Y por el centro va tanta gente que nunca, nunca, les queda nada

Quiere a tu pais, quiere a tu pais, quierereo quierelo quiere a tu pais

Ay nicaraguita nicaraguita, la flor mas linda de mi querer

Hoy cada dia que pasa la vida es mas dura
Y nicaragua muere e la locura
Del miedo del orden mundial
Que causa pobreza mundial
Debemos poer e imponer nuestra propia palabra
Romper esos muros del miedo
Y a los politicos y dirigentes
Que no rejuntan ya tanta gente




Que se comporten, que sean decentes
Pues pronto viene el tiro de gracia.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Perrozompopo's song "Quiere a Tu País" address the challenges faced by Nicaragua as a nation. The first stanza highlights the difficulties of daily life, such as the dangers of traffic and the harshness of the police force. The mention of "maquiladoras" (factories) highlights the exploitation of workers who are paid very low wages to sew bones and make progress towards economic growth. The lyrics also mention the pressure from strong groups that reduce access to food and the impending threat of democracy being undermined by the use of armed forces. The phrase "tiro de gracia" (shot of grace) reinforces the idea that Nicaragua is facing a critical moment, and if things do not change, the nation may face its downfall.


In the second stanza, the lyrics discuss the polarisation of political power, with some groups moving towards the right-wing and others towards the left-wing. The mention of people who are neither left nor right indicates the existence of a moderate centre that may feel left behind in debates. The repetition of "quiero a tu pais" (love your country) serves as a reminder that despite the challenges faced by the nation, there is still a sense of pride for Nicaragua. The final line of the stanza pays tribute to Nicaragua, referring to it as "la flor mas linda de mi querer" (the most beautiful flower of my affection").


Overall, the lyrics of "Quiere a Tu País" express a sense of urgency to address the problems facing Nicaragua. The song urges people to unite and use their collective power to improve their lives, indicating that change can only happen if everybody works together.
