Born in Río Piedras, Puerto Rico and raised in the United States, Nieves began his career while participating in Orquesta Cimarron, a New York-based group.

Vuelvo otra vez nuevamente con el mismo error.
Serà que soy como soy y aunque quiera cambiar yo no puedo,
o simplemente yo soy el culpable y confundido estoy.
Solitario voy de pueblo en pueblo como un vagabundo,
cantando por todos los campos alivio el dolor.
Guitarra noble compañera que conmigo se va dondequiera,
solitario, vagabundo por el mundo voy.
que lo que se hace se va en un segundo,
y nos quedamos sin na' (BIS)
Sin na' yo no quiero quedar, sin na' yo no quiero vivir
Sin na' yo no quiero quedar, sin na' yo no quiero vivir
Sin na', sin na', yo no quiero quedar
Sin na', sin na', yo no quiero morir.
ORQUESTA.
Aunque desde pequeñito fui criado en la pobreza,
no importan las riquezas, cantando voy por el mundo,
Yo no me quiero quedar CORO: YO NO ME QUIERO QUEDAR
Yo no me quiero morir CORO: YO NO ME QUIERO MORIR
Si nací pa' vagabundo, que me importa lo que digan,
Abran mil que me maldigan, yo voy feliz por el mundo.
Pero no quiero quedar CORO: YO NO ME QUIERO QUEDAR
Yo no quiero morir CORO: YO NO ME QUIERO MORIR
ORQUESTA.
Solitario Soy CORO: SOLITARIO SOY
Y cantando voy CORO: Y CANTANDO VOY
Solo solito CORO: SOLITARIO SOY
Desde pequeñito CORO: Y CANTANDO VOY
Por el mundo voy CORO: SOLITARIO SOY
Cuando voy al campo Y CANTANDO VOY
De mi linda tierra CORO: SOLITARIO SOY
Llevo la tristeza Y CANTANDO VOY
Mientras voy cantando CORO: SOLITARIO SOY
Solitario soy Y CANTANDO VOY
Solito.
The song "Solitario" by Conjunto Clásico tells the story of a wandering troubadour who goes from town to town, singing and playing his guitar to alleviate the pain that haunts him. He recognizes that he often repeats the same mistakes and wonders whether it's because he can't change or because he's confused and doesn't know what he wants. In any case, he accepts his fate as a lonely vagabond and dedicates his life to music, using it as a way to connect with people and express his emotions.
The chorus warns listeners to be cautious of the surprises that life can bring, reminding them that what they do can disappear in a second, leaving them with nothing. The singer echoes this sentiment, saying that he doesn't want to be left with nothing and that even though he was raised in poverty and people may criticize him for his lifestyle, he is happy doing what he loves.
Overall, the lyrics of "Solitario" convey a sense of resignation and acceptance of one's circumstances, while also promoting the importance of pursuing one's passions and finding joy in life's simple pleasures.
