KEVIN JOHANSEN
EL INCOMPRENDIDO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y aunque haya padecido, es lo que ha elegido
Riega con sus escritos boliches y garitos
Y alguien lo ha convencido que es un poeta maldito
De bar en bar, café en café
Cree que lo observan
Nadie lo ve...
Cree que por ser bohemio, le van a dar un premio
Pero se ha vuelto abstemio y el mozo frunce el ceño
Cansado de ser pobre y de tantos engaños
Su madre no le da un cobre a sus 40 años
Podría ser vos, podría ser yo
Incomprendidos somos todos
Podría ser el o aquellos dos
Incomprendidos somos todos...
The song "Kevin Johansen" by El Incomprendido speaks of a man who feels misunderstood and unappreciated for his creative efforts. Despite the struggles and pain he has endured as a result of his choices, he has embraced his identity as an artist and continues to write and perform in bars and clubs. However, he remains disillusioned with the idea that his bohemian lifestyle will eventually lead to recognition and success, and has even turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism.
The lyrics "Podría ser vos, podría ser yo, Incomprendidos somos todos" (It could be you, it could be me, we are all misunderstood) echo the sentiment that many people feel isolated and unappreciated at times. The song suggests that there is a common bond between those who feel misunderstood, regardless of their individual circumstances. It also speaks to the pressure that society places on individuals to conform to certain norms and expectations, rather than allowing for individuality and creativity to thrive.
