Andar
El Consorcio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y el polvo se pegue al cuerpo
Aunque los vientos me arrastren
Sigo mis sendas sin lastre
Andar como un vagabun
Sin rumbo fijo, sin meta
Al soplo del viento al azar
El caso es anda
El caso es anda
No me pertenece el paisaje
Voy sin equipaje por la noche larga
Quiero ser pere
Por los ca minos de espa ña
Quiero ser pere grino
Por los ca minos de españa
No me propongo desti no
No quito puestos a nadie
Porque mi puesto es el aire
Como el olor del buen vino
Sabiendo que nunca es tar
De mi pie siempre en el estribo
Y cada paso que piso
Un paso menos que dar
El caso es andar
El caso es anda
These lyrics convey a sense of freedom, independence, and embracing a wandering life. The singer acknowledges that the path may be narrow and the dust may stick to their body, but despite any challenges, they continue their journey without burdens or hindrances. They compare themselves to a vagabond, someone without a fixed direction or goal, constantly changing their course in the breeze like a wind vane.
They express a detachment from the physical surroundings, stating that the landscape does not belong to them. They travel through the night without any luggage, desiring to become a pilgrim on the roads of Spain. This signifies a search for spiritual or personal fulfillment through travel and exploration rather than the pursuit of material possessions. They want to immerse themselves in the experience and the beauty of the country's paths, seeking a transformative inner journey.
Furthermore, the lyrics emphasize their refusal to be confined by fate or to take away opportunities from others. They recognize that their place is in the air, like the scent of good wine. They aim to live in the present, with one foot always on the stirrup, ready to move forward. Each step they take brings them closer to their destination, but they also recognize that every step leads them further away from the starting point, highlighting the importance of continuous progress.
In summary, these lyrics speak to the desire for a nomadic existence, unfettered by societal expectations and focused on personal growth and exploration. The singer values the journey itself over the destination, choosing to follow their own path and embracing the uncertainty that comes with it.
