la billetera

Medialunas' song 'La Billetera' offers a humorous and satirical take on the experience of being robbed. The lyrics begin with the protagonist being confronted by a thief who demands money while pointing a gun at their head. The thief takes the protagonist's pants, bracelet, and jacket, but is most interested in their wallet. This scenario sets the stage for a comedic twist, as the protagonist reveals that their wallet is empty, rendering the thief's efforts futile.

The protagonist addresses the thief directly, calling them out and suggesting that robbing someone from 'Medialunas' won't make them rich. This line plays on the idea that the thief has targeted the wrong person, someone who doesn't have much to steal. The protagonist even goes as far as to say that the thief is having a lucky day, referencing the saying 'El que roba a otro ladrón tiene 100 años de perdón' (He who steals from a thief gets 100 years of forgiveness). This adds a layer of irony, as the thief's actions are ultimately pointless.

The song continues with the protagonist mocking the thief's intentions, suggesting that the stolen items were meant to buy a gift. However, the empty wallet means the thief can't even afford a piece of paper. The protagonist further taunts the thief, questioning their preferences and ultimately labeling them as a simple thief who gains nothing from the robbery. The song's playful tone and clever lyrics highlight the absurdity of the situation, making 'La Billetera' a memorable and entertaining track.
