Adios Amigos
Cosmo4 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Day one drove in from the desert
Small town waiting for the sun to rise
Saw a poster at the townhall that face, the million dollar smile

A man wanted dead or alive
Yeah yeah yeah

I said Adios amigos - I gotta go
I gotta get that boy, hope he's ready for more
I´ll take him down I´ll make him mine
I said adios amigos I gotta go, amigos bye bye

Day two dawning through the gunsmoke.
Cashed in, left him by the county jail
Felt so good money in my pocket
Looked up and then I saw another

Sign: Wanted dead or alive
Yeah yeah yeah

I said Adios amigos...

Day number three, day number three
I´m rich, now they want me
They want me dead or alive

Yeah yeah yeah...

I say Adios amigos - I gotta go
You gotta get this girl, hope you're ready for more
Adios amigos, I gotta go
Dont try to stop me boy or you're back on the floor
Ahhhh

Adios amigos - I gotta go
You gotta get this girl, hope you're ready for more
Forgive forget




This chica´s hard to get
I said adios amigos I gotta go, amigos bye bye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cosmo4's song "Adios Amigos" tell a story about a cowboy or bandit who is on the run, possibly from the law or from someone seeking revenge. The first verse establishes the setting: a small town in the desert where the singer sees a poster with the face of someone who is wanted "dead or alive." In response, the singer declares "Adios amigos" and sets off on a mission to capture this person for a reward.


The second verse takes place "through the gunsmoke" on the next day, after the singer has succeeded in capturing someone and collecting a reward. Flush with cash, the singer sees another "wanted dead or alive" poster and takes off again. The third day brings a twist: the singer has become famous and is now the one who is wanted "dead or alive." Despite this turn, the singer maintains the same determination and declares "Adios amigos" once again.


The song is a classic western outlaw or cowboy story with a catchy and upbeat melody. The lyrics conjure up images of dusty saloons, cowboy hats, and gunfights in the desert. The singer's voice is confident and self-assured, signaling that they are in control of their destiny and unfazed by danger. The repeated phrase "Adios amigos" adds to the sense of bravado and adventure.
