Se Vale Soñar
El Tigrillo Palma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Quisiera que cuando llueva
En vez de agua, cayera perico
Y que corriera cerveza,
Tequila por mar y ríos
Que en los jardines hubiera
En vez de rosas, claveles o lirios
Matitas de marihuana,
Los carteles no existieran
Mucho menos los mafiosos
La madre naturaleza
Se encargaría de nosotros
De tenernos bien contentos
Todos borrachos y locos
Estuviera a toda madre
Tener las siete vidas del gato
Para agarrarme a balazos
Con los chotas y soldados
También fuera una chulada
Que no existiera el perro Gobierno
Viviéramos más a gusto
Sin amantes de lo ajeno
Pero Dios no cumple antojos
Ni endereza jorobados
Solo queda conformarme
Con todo lo que me ha dado
Se vale soñar pariente
No creo que eso sea pecado
Overall Meaning
The lyrics of El Tigrillo Palma's Se Vale Soñar express the singer's wishes for a world different from the one we live in, a world where it would rain parakeets and where beer and tequila would flow in rivers and oceans. He imagines a world where instead of roses, there would be marijuana, cocaine, and opium, and where there would be no drug cartels or mafiosos. He longs for a world where everyone is happy, drunk, and crazy, and where he could have the seven lives of a cat to fight off the police and soldiers. The singer dreams of a world where there is no corrupt government, and where people can live in peace without having to worry about theft.
The song explores themes of escape, fantasy, and rebellion against the status quo. The singer indulges in wild and unrealistic ideas, but he recognizes that they are just fantasies and that God will not grant his wishes. Nonetheless, he suggests that dreaming is not a sin and that it is okay to escape reality and indulge in fantasy once in a while.
