Se Vale Soñar
El Tigrillo Palma
Dreams of a Carefree World
El Tigrillo Palma's song "Se Vale Soñar" paints a vivid picture of a fantastical world where the burdens of reality are replaced by whimsical and carefree elements. The lyrics express a longing for a world where rain is replaced by cocaine, and rivers flow with tequila and beer. This imagery suggests a desire for escape and indulgence, where the natural world provides endless pleasure and freedom from societal constraints.
The song also touches on the absence of cartels and mafiosos, envisioning a world where nature takes care of humanity, keeping everyone content and carefree. This reflects a yearning for a simpler life, free from the violence and corruption often associated with drug cartels and organized crime. The lyrics suggest that in this dream world, people would live without the oppressive presence of government and thieves, enjoying a life of leisure and abundance.
Despite the fantastical nature of these dreams, the song acknowledges the limitations of reality. The line "Pero Dios no cumple antojos ni endereza jorobados" (But God does not fulfill whims nor straighten hunchbacks) serves as a reminder that these dreams are just that—dreams. The song concludes with a sense of acceptance, recognizing that while these fantasies may never come true, dreaming is not a sin. This acceptance of reality, while still allowing oneself to dream, captures the essence of the human spirit's resilience and hope for a better world.
