Chacarera del Pensador
Raúl Carnota Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me acusan que soy vago
Que el trabajo me asusta
Yo sufro con mi vocación
Solo pensar me gusta

Y paso el día entero
Arreglando problemas
Pero me mata la humildad
Nunca nadie se entera




La pucha, con mi oficio
Anónimo y callado
De a ratos me da por pensar
Qué es un apostolado

Tal vez, cuando me entiendan
Ya sea un poco tarde
Pero los pienso perdonar
Soy hombre razonable

Bien tempranito arranco
Desde mi catre viejo
Dale que dale sin parar
Meta pensar, canejo

La siesta me relaja
Tensiones que contraigo
La vida del intelectual
Tiene un sabor amargo

Si soy incomprendido
Yo sigo con mi ciencia
En el pecado de pensar
Está mi penitencia

Más tarde o más temprano
Me volveré famoso
Porque soy el gran pensador
Del pago de Habrapozo
