Bravo Muchachos
Miguel Bosé Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

¡Bravo muchachos!
Bien aquí nos tenéis
Todos poetas los del ‘56 (cincuenta y seis)
De paso por un mundo en agonía
La vida es solo fantasía

Caminamos sobre un hilo en el cielo
A más de cien mil metros del asfalto
Somos puntos en lo alto
Banderas al viento de ciudad

Seguir en pié esta peor cada día
Con tantos líos, tanta hipocresía
Mira adelante que no hay nada detrás
Y no se puede regresar

Caminamos tirando del mundo
A alguno puede parecerle absurdo
Y somos la fuerza
Que mueve mareas y volcán

Yo vivo como puedo amiga mía
No sé quién soy ni sé de mí que será
Nuestro futuro ¿qué horizonte tendrá?
Sigo la estrella que me guía

Caminamos muy alto en el cielo
Apenas puedes vernos desde el suelo
Colgando del tiempo
En crisis desde una eternidad
Seremos fuertes
Luchando hasta la muerte
Venidos de un duro invierno
Directamente del infierno
Buenos chicos, buena gente
Con principios diferentes
Rabia sana, sin malicia
Rota el alma sin justicia
Medio locos, medio tristes
Pobres cristos, siempre humildes
En esta vida tan vacía
Tanta violencia, tanta envidia




Héroes y delincuentes
Buenos chicos, buena gente

Overall Meaning

The song "Bravo Muchachos" by Miguel Bosé is a poetic and introspective commentary on the state of society in the 1950s, as well as a reflection on the human condition. In the opening lines, he praises the poets of 1956, acknowledging their contribution to a world in agony. Bosé laments the transient nature of life and insists that reality is just a fantasy. He uses the metaphor of walking on a tightrope a hundred thousand meters high to describe the precariousness of life.


Bosé raises the issue of the difficulty of surviving in the world, given all its complexities, malpractices, and hypocrisies. He advises people not to focus on the past but to keep moving forward. He claims that they are pulling the world along, and anyone who thinks that is strange is not seeing the bigger picture. The song ends on a hopeful but ambiguous note. Bosé acknowledges his lack of understanding of the future and his sense of purpose, but he resolves to follow his star.


Overall, "Bravo Muchachos" is a call for people to have hope and trust that they can positively change the world they inhabit. It calls for resiliency and action in a world full of pain, injustice, and doubt.

Preciosa canción revitalizadora que no envejece de nuestro rompedor y atrevido Bose.

Este tema salió a la venta en single, en la otra cara aparecia "Son Amigos", al mismo tiempo éstos temas fueron incluidos en el recopilatorio "Bravo muchachos: Los grandes éxitos de Miguel Bose", saludos desde Chile.

Parece que Bosé fuera profeta ya que predijo cómo sería la vida en el futuro con tanta maldad e hipocresía.
Ídolo Bosé.
