Todo se puede tenerTodo se puede saberHoy puede estar en tus manosLo que buscabas ayer
Poco a poco, como gira la tierraPoco a poco, como sale el solPoco a poco, como pasan las penasPoco a poco, como nace el amor
Todos queremos llegarTodos queremos triunfarY el mundo es solamentePara el que sabe luchar
The lyrics to Raphael's song "Poco a Poco" speak to the idea that all things are achievable, but it requires a steady and consistent effort. The phrase "poco a poco" means "little by little" and this sentiment is reflected throughout the song. He emphasizes that there is nothing that is truly impossible for those who are willing to fight for it, whether it be knowledge or material possessions. The idea that what you were searching for yesterday could be within your grasp today is a powerful message that encourages listeners to continue their journey towards their desired outcomes.
The song also speaks to the inevitability of change and progress in the world. The natural rotation of the earth and the rising and setting of the sun happen little by little, showing that even the most steadfast things in life move in small increments. The idea that heartaches and pain also pass with time is another example of how life moves on little by little, and so too can love and joy blossom over time.
