Vos te vas
Jeites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Llevo tus canciones por el mundo
Por el mundo, por el mundo
Vos te vas yo me quedo aca
Solo medio loco y un poco tirado
Solo medio loco y un poco colgado
Solo medio loco y un poco tarado
Sueño con verte te veo soñando
Y ando como un loco de aqui para alla
Voy volando ojala ojala ojala
Pero no estoy fumando
Estuviera estuviera estuviera volando
Ooojala estuviera yo volando
Escribo canciones sobre sensaciones
Su vida la mia, la tuya todoo eso canto
Pero no no no a veces no aguanto
Al mundo conformista ilimitado proclamo yo queda clausurado
Entonces vos te vas yo me quedo aca
Solo medio loco y un poco colgado
Solo medio loco y un poco asustado
Y cuando vos te vas yo me quedo asi
Cantando tus canciones por el mundo
Pero ya llegando me llamas, yo espero
Como loco medio solo y un poco, drogado
Volado, soy un tarado
Ojala no estuviera regalado..
Baung.. baung... baung...baung..bauung
The lyrics to Jeites's song "Vos te vas" describe the feeling of longing and missing someone who has left. The singer is left behind as the other person goes off into the world, but they carry their songs with them as they travel. The chorus repeats "Vos te vas yo me quedo aca" which means "You go and I stay here". The singer admits to feeling a little crazy and lost without their loved one, as they dream of seeing them again and go running around trying to find them. The lyrics express the emotional connection to someone who has moved on, and the hope and desperation of staying connected even when apart.
It's worth noting how the lyricism is delivered in a laid-back, almost nonchalant way, which makes the message of the song poignant yet subtly understated. It also builds on the Argentinean tradition of mixing folkloric-style music with contemporary and rock elements. The song has a driving instrumental that pushes the lyrics forward; there's a sense of urgency to the pace of the music that complements the lyrics' themes of longing.
