El Gran Flamingo
Los Mustang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Al Gran Flamingo,
Puede ser que al despertar,
Halle al fin a quien contar.
Aventuras que vivió
El Gran Flamingo .
Siempre sólo estuvo él.
A mil indios combatió.
Borracho.
Más ahora está el siempre.
Tumbado aquí, durmiendo allí.
Aventuras que vivió
El Gran Flamingo.
Siempre sólo estuvo él.
A mil indios combatió.
(Intermedio musical)
Más ahora está el siempre
Borracho.
Más ahora está el siempre
Tumbado aquí,
Durmiendo allí.
Sha la la, la la la la
El Gran Flamingo.
Sha la la, la la la la
El Gran Flamingo.
The song "El Gran Flamingo" by Los Mustang is a tribute to a legendary and mythical figure who is referred to as "the Great Flamingo." The lyrics suggest that this figure is someone who has had many adventures and fought countless battles, but he has always been alone. Despite his bravery and courage, he has never been able to find someone to share his stories with, until perhaps now. The lyrics also suggest, however, that the Great Flamingo is now a shadow of his former self, as he is always drunk and sleeping, no longer living up to his reputation as a fearless warrior.
The song speaks to the universal human desire for connection and companionship, even for those who may be considered larger-than-life figures. It is a reminder that no matter how strong or brave one may appear, everyone needs someone to confide in and share their experiences with. It is also a commentary on the fleeting nature of fame and glory, as the Great Flamingo, once a revered and feared warrior, is now reduced to a drunkard who is no longer respected or admired.
Overall, "El Gran Flamingo" is a beautiful and poignant song that speaks to the human condition in a universal way. It serves as a reminder to all of us that no matter how great our accomplishments may be, we are all vulnerable and in need of connection and companionship.
