El Cuponazo

El Fary's song 'El Cuponazo' tells a heartwarming and humorous story of a man's sudden change in fortune. The narrative begins with the protagonist leaving his house on a Friday morning, only to realize he has no money. This moment of despair is quickly turned around when he helps a blind lottery ticket seller from the ONCE (a Spanish organization for the blind) cross the street. In gratitude, the seller gives him a lottery ticket, which turns out to be a winning ticket, transforming the protagonist's life overnight.

The lyrics celebrate the protagonist's newfound wealth with a sense of disbelief and joy. He describes how his life has changed dramatically, from having nothing to enjoying luxuries like breakfast in bed and expensive cigars. The repeated refrain 'Bendito cupón' (Blessed coupon) emphasizes his gratitude for the lottery ticket that lifted him out of poverty. The song also touches on the fickle nature of social relationships, noting how people who previously ignored him now suddenly want to be part of his life.

Despite his newfound wealth, the protagonist remains grounded and generous. He expresses a desire to find the lottery ticket seller and share his fortune with him, recognizing the seller's role in his change of fate. This act of kindness highlights the protagonist's good character and adds a moral dimension to the story. The song ends with a prayer for the well-being of the lottery seller, reinforcing the theme of gratitude and the importance of helping others.
