Perdón doctor

In 'Perdón doctor,' SOLEDAD delivers a poignant narrative through the eyes of a young, impoverished child pleading for medical help for his ailing mother. The song opens with the child addressing the doctor, emphasizing his own poverty and the dire situation at home. The child’s innocence and desperation are palpable as he offers his most treasured possessions—two kittens, a dog, a spinning top, a kite, and his late father's hat—in exchange for the doctor's services. This act of offering personal items highlights the child's lack of financial means and his deep love for his mother.

The lyrics further delve into the child's understanding of the harsh realities of life. He acknowledges the doctor's need to be compensated and expresses his hope that his mother, once healed, will be able to repay the doctor through her various skills, such as cooking, cleaning, and farming. This part of the song underscores the child's maturity and awareness of the economic struggles they face, despite his young age. The repeated apologies for being poor reflect a societal issue where access to healthcare is often limited by one's financial status.

The song also touches on the isolation and helplessness felt by the child. He mentions being alone at home and the impending storm that makes it difficult for the doctor to visit. The child's hope that someday an Argentine will bring a doctor to their home speaks to a broader hope for societal change and better access to healthcare for the impoverished. SOLEDAD's heartfelt delivery and the emotional weight of the lyrics make 'Perdón doctor' a powerful commentary on poverty, healthcare, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
