Bamboleo
Ensiferum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No tiene la culpa
Caballo le ven sabana
Porque muy depreciado,
Por eso no te perdon de llorar
Este amor llega asi esta manera
No tiene la culpa,
Amor de comprementa
Bembele, bembele, bembele
Bem, Bembele, Bembele
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprende vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprende vivir asi
No tiene pardon de Dios
Tu eres mi vida, la fortuna del destin
Pero el destino tendressa parado
Lo mismo ya que ayer
Lo mismo soy yo
No te encuentro a l'abandon
Es imposible no te encuentro de verdad
Por eso un dia no cuentro si de nada
Lo mismo ya que ayer
Yo pienso en ti
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprende vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprende vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprende vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprende vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprende vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprende vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprende vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprende vivir asi
The lyrics to Ensiferum's "Bamboleo" are a mixture of Spanish and a made-up language, giving the song its unique flavor. The song talks about a love that arrives unexpectedly, and the singer declares that this love isn't to blame for any of the emotions attached to it. The lyrics about a horse and a plain suggest that the love, like a wild horse, is not one easily tamed. The singer admits to shedding tears over this love, most likely due to the pain it causes, and goes on to describe it as a complementary love, a love akin to one from the past, not something new.
The chorus, which repeats the words "Bamboleo" and "Bambolea," suggests that the singer's life is one of ups and downs, swaying back and forth like a pendulum. The phrase "La vida yo la aprendi vivir así" translates to "I learned to live my life like this," suggesting that the singer has come to accept the unpredictable nature of life and is making the best of it. The overall message of the song is about the unpredictability of love and life, and the need to embrace it and move forward.

I love both Gypsy Kings, and Ensiferum.. This cover is just so perfect. It brings back memories from my childhood in Mexico (Yes, I'm aware that they are European). To hear both my old memories, and my new(er) art combined. It was beautiful
