Pobre SoñAdor

El Tri's 'Pobre Soñador' is a poignant reflection on the contrast between reality and the idealized world of dreams. The lyrics express a sense of disillusionment with the real world, where things are not always as they should be, and where one cannot always be right. The song uses the metaphor of a baseball game to describe the singer's interactions with the object of their affection, suggesting a dynamic of unpredictability and excitement.

The chorus of the song reveals a deep yearning for escapism. The singer describes their beloved as a dream, and themselves as a 'poor dreamer,' indicating a disparity between their desires and their reality. The repeated lines 'Tu eres como un sueño / Y de ese sueño nunca quiero despertar' ('You are like a dream / And from that dream, I never want to wake up') underscore the theme of wanting to remain in a dream state, where everything is perfect and nothing can go wrong. This desire to escape is further emphasized by the singer's wish to never open their eyes again, preferring the bliss of dreams to the harshness of reality.

The song concludes with a resolve to continue dreaming, regardless of the consequences. The world may stop turning, but the singer is content as long as they can escape with their beloved. This sentiment is encapsulated in the final lines, where the singer vows to never return to reality. 'Pobre Soñador' is a song about the power of dreams as a refuge from the disappointments of life, and the deep human desire to find solace in an idealized world.
