Bamboleo
Gypsy Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No tiene la culpa
Caballo de danza vana
Porque es muy despreciado por eso
No te perdona llorar
Ese amor llega asi esta manera
No tiene la culpa
Amor de en el pasado
Bem, bem bem bem, bem bem bem
Bem, bem bem bem, bem bem bem
Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi
No tienes perden de Dios
Tu eres mi vida la fortuna del destino
En el destino del desamparado
Lo mismo ya que ayer
Lo mismo soy yo
No te encuentro l'abandon
Eres imposible no te encuentro de verdad
Por eso un dia no encuentro si de nada
Lo mismo ya que ayer
Lo pienso en ti
Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi!
The lyrics of Gypsy Kings' "Bamboleo" is an ode to love that arrives in unexpected ways. The song speaks of a love that is not to blame for its arrival, much like a horse in a vain dance. The lyrics suggest that the love is not accepted by society and is often disdained. The song speaks of a love that cannot be bought or sold and is rooted in the past.
The chorus of the song, "Bamboleo bambolea, porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi," translates to "Swaying, swaying, because I prefer to live my life like this." The lyrics express the singer's desire to live their life with abandon and embrace the love that has come into their life, despite societal prejudices.
The song makes use of the traditional rumba style of music, which originated in Cuba in the late 19th century. The song's upbeat tempo and lively guitar playing have made it popular for dance performances. "Bamboleo" has been covered by several artists and has been used in multiple films, soundtracks, and commercials.

My parents were both born in Slovakia and they loved Gipsy Kings which is a testament to how their music has touched people and cultures all around the world. Twelve years ago today my father passed away, so today I play this for him. RIP.

One of the most amazing music acts of all time. Loved them as a kid and still love them. All of their songs are catchy and so danceable, but of course this one is my personal favorite. Love the Gipsy Kings.

I can't believe this is from the 80's. So iconic and timeless.
@beverleyconnon9791
The 80’s produced many iconic and beautiful songs.... so did the 70’s, and 60’s, and 50’s......
