Sin dinero

La Polla Records' song "Sin dinero" paints a vivid picture of the struggles and disillusionment faced by a group of young people. The lyrics open with a scene in a bar, where six friends share three bottles, highlighting their financial constraints. This imagery sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the harsh reality of living without money. The phrase "como los perros suelen hacer" (like dogs usually do) suggests a sense of desperation and survival, comparing their situation to that of stray animals scavenging for sustenance.

The chorus, repeating "Sin dinero están, que contrariedad" (They are without money, what a contradiction), underscores the central theme of financial hardship. The song delves deeper into the lengths these individuals go to cope with their situation, mentioning buying drugs on credit and engaging in reckless behavior, such as driving a poorly controlled car in a wild rally. These actions reflect a sense of hopelessness and a desire to escape their grim reality, even if only temporarily.

As the song progresses, the lyrics take a surreal turn with the lines "ningún poeta pudo soñar, romper la luna con la nariz" (no poet could dream of breaking the moon with their nose). This imagery suggests a longing for the impossible and a sense of disillusionment with the world. The repeated call to "Vámonos de aquí" (Let's get out of here) further emphasizes the desire to escape their current circumstances. The song ends with the same imagery of the group taking flight like dogs, reinforcing the cyclical nature of their struggles and the persistent theme of financial hardship.
