Mendiga
Pornomotora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
lo encuentro alli tirado
pero esta vez
el piso esta muy mojado
tengo diez y ocho años
dicen tiene como diez
Solo espera sentado
que alguien le de una prenda o de comer
sino pasa nada
un cigarro tirado en la calle
estara muy bien, muy bien...
solo es cuestión de años
tal vez no pueda crecer
mientras que
comenzará a robar puñados
lo se...
por ahora
yo lo saludo de paso
mientras él
mendiga por todos lados
no se que piense ahora
pero a mí me cae bien
y así esta bien...
The song "Mendiga" by Pornomotora talks about a homeless person or a beggar. The singer of the song sees this person often laying on the ground, but this time, the ground is wet. The person is described as having the appearance of a 10-year-old, but they are really much older.
Throughout the song, some of the things the person does to survive are mentioned. They sit around waiting for someone to give them clothing or food. If nothing is given to them, then a discarded cigarette on the street will suffice. The singer becomes aware that the beggar's situation is not going to improve. They may not receive the opportunities or support needed to grow, and may even resort to stealing.
Yet, despite all of this, the singer still approaches the beggar and greets them. There is no judgment towards the person, and they have respect for their struggle. The main message of the song seems to be that no matter how unfortunate one's life may be, kindness should still be shown towards them.
