Vagabundo
Javier Solís Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soy un pobre vagabundo sin hogar y sin fortuna
y no conozco ninguna de las dichas de este mundo.
Voy sin rumbo por la vida el dolor es mi condena
y el licor calmó mi pena porque el amor es mentira.

No me importa lo que digan de mi corazón bohemio
me emborracho porque llevo en el alma una tragedia.
Y así voy por el camino que el destino me condena
porque al fin seré en la vida vagabundo hasta que muera.

No me importa lo que digan de mi corazón bohemio
me emborracho porque llevo en el alma una tragedia.




Y así voy por el camino que el destino me condena
porque al fin seré en la vida vagabundo hasta que muera.

Overall Meaning

In Javier Solís's song "Vagabundo," the lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and despair as the singer, a poor vagabond without a home or any luck, reflects on his life's struggles. He is lost and wandering aimlessly, burdened by pain and sorrow. He turns to alcohol to numb his emotions and forget the harsh realities of life, feeling that love is nothing but a lie.


Despite being judged by others for his bohemian heart, the singer claims he is indifferent to their opinions, for he carries a tragedy within him. He accepts his fate and resigns himself to a life of wandering until he dies, as this is what destiny has determined for him.


The song portrays the human condition in a poignant and heartbreaking way, showcasing how the characters' lack of hope and sense of despair can lead them down a dark path of alcoholism and destitution. Throughout the lyrics, the singer's voice remains somber and melancholic, creating a somber ambiance that fits the song's theme.
