Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “O Pequeno Burguês” by Martinho Da Vila
“O Pequeno Burguês” by Martinho Da Vila speaks to how the lower class is often trapped within their circumstances and struggles to break free. The lyrics compare a poor man’s life to that of a rich man. He speaks of the inequity between the two classes and how there is no chance of an upward trajectory for the poor. The dream of the “little bourgeois” is held dear and even though the odds of becoming one are slim, it is still a hope that is nurtured. Despite the obstacles that the hardships of poverty place on the poor, Martinho Da Vila’s message is one of perseverance and hope, that, by aiming for the better, every dream can be achieved.
