Most of the group fromerly known as Alabina (noted for their beautiful, sensuous songs) have resurrected into this gypsy/flamenco ensemble. Join the celebration of life, love and dance with music that moves the soul as well as the feet.
Arising like the phoenix from the flames, Los Niños de Sara takes flight on their own gypsy caravan. The four Los Ninos band members, Antonio, Ramon, Coco and Santi, are cousins, and have played together as a group since they were 14 years old.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vagabundo, vagabundo (¿vagamundo?)
Lere le lere lerei
Vagabundo soy yo
Lere le lere lerei
Vagabundo, vagabundo
Lere le lere lerei
Vagabundo soy yo
Me gusta ir por los caminos,
y cantar en libertad.
Me gusta ver las estrellas,
y la noche junto al mar.
Quiero estar junto a los rios,
y mis ¿…? cortar.
Tocar fuerte mi guitarra,
con alegría y compás.

Estando cerca de mi hoguera,
siento mi felicidad
Cantándole a mi gitana,
que me está bailando ya.
Me gusta ir por los caminos,
y cantar en libertad.
Me gusta ver las estrellas,
y la noche junto al mar.
Vagabundo, vamos p'aquí, vamos p'allá.
Vagabundo, vamos p'aquí, vamos p'allá.

Con mi guitarra cojo (agarro –american spanish-) y me voy
Con mi guitarra
Se va p'aquí
Se va p'allá
