La Liebre

Los Tigres del Norte's song 'La Liebre' is a powerful critique of socio-economic inequality and political corruption in Mexico. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a society where the hardworking individuals are often left behind while the wealthy and powerful continue to thrive without much effort. The metaphor of 'corretean la liebre' (chasing the hare) versus 'sin correr la alcanzan' (catching it without running) highlights the disparity between those who toil endlessly and those who achieve success effortlessly, often through dubious means.

The song delves into the economic struggles faced by the common people, emphasizing the devaluation of the peso and the rising cost of living. The line 'El dólar a diario sube, nadie lo puede frenar' (The dollar rises daily, no one can stop it) reflects the uncontrollable inflation and its impact on the populace. The government and the elite are portrayed as indifferent to the plight of the people, using the external debt as a pretext to increase taxes and further burden the citizens.

'La Liebre' also addresses the pervasive corruption within the government, describing it as a 'nido de truhanes' (nest of rogues) who exploit their positions for personal gain. The cyclical nature of political corruption is highlighted with each new administration ('cada sexenio que llega') bringing more financial exploitation. The song's poignant message is a call for awareness and change, urging listeners to recognize the systemic issues and the need for accountability among those in power.
