Salvador Henri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Entre Hambourg et Cuba
Depuis je me promegravene
Sur mon nuage agrave moi
La grave ougrave le vent me me grave ne
J'ai entendu tant de sire grave nes chanter ici et la grave
Que j'ai eu de la peine
A filer toujours droit
Tous les vagabonds vagabondent
Et croisent un jour leur chance
La terre n'est pas si ronde
Tous les vagabonds vagabondent
Abondent dans mon sens
Sur la mecircme d'ondes
Je me suis mis en quarantaine
Deacute j'agrave au moins deux fois
Loin des soir eacutees mondaines
Qui filent agrave la coda
Pour jouer les mecircmes rengaines
Les chansons les plus boheacute miennes
Obeacuteissent agrave ma voix
Quand je caresse l'eacute begravene
De mon vieux piano droit
Qui veut quitter la scegravene
Tous les vagabonds vagabondent
Et croisent un jour leur chance
La terre n'est pas si ronde
Tous les vagabonds vagabondent
Abondent dans mon sens
Sur la mecircme d'ondes
Je suis neacute sous un ciel de traicircne
Le jour pointait pour moi
Et l'eacute t'eacute, quelle veine
M'a appris ce jour-lagrave
A filer agrave, l'indienne
The lyrics of Salvador Henri's song Vagabond describe the life of a vagabond who was born between Hamburg and Cuba and has been wandering aimlessly ever since. He is accompanied only by his cloud, which takes him where the wind blows. The vagabond has heard the songs of the sirens sing in many places, but he finds it difficult to keep a straight path. The song conveys the idea that every vagabond dreams of a chance encounter that could change their life. The vagabond believes that the world is not as round as it seems, and so he wanders on, with the hope that he will someday find his chance.
The song describes the vagabond's lifestyle and his longing for a better life. He tries to avoid society by isolating himself from mainstream parties and instead chooses to play his bohemian songs on his old piano. Despite his unconventional lifestyle, the vagabond still believes that he has a voice that can be heard through his music. He continues to wander, hoping to find his way in life and to make his dreams come true.
Overall, the song speaks about the power of perseverance and a restless spirit that marks the life of a vagabond.
