Soy Vagabundo
Héctor Lavoe
I'm a Drifter
I wander, I am a vagabond
For not finding in this world
Where you can spend happy hours
Where you can put down deep roots
Where to bear fruit like a new tree
The musical knowledge that I carry inside
I wander, I am a vagabond
And every misunderstanding is like a wall
That limits the scope of my impulses
And I bite my words, but I don't insult
Before cursing I prefer with pride
To be just that, a vagabond
I am the man who goes, I am the man who comes
I am the one who is not there, where it is not convenient for him
Envy and resentment are similar in every way
In me they are dead beasts because they never bite me
Tired of hearing the voice of inclemency
The orphan of love fills her with pride
Tired of looking, like a swamp in everything
That passion is mud and friendship is mud
I am the man who goes, I am the man who comes
I am the one who is not there, where it is not convenient for him
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
I am the vagabond and I go through the world
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
Tired of listening to the orphan of love
The proud barbarian
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
In friendships mud, in passions mud
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
And I keep wandering, looking for what I can't find
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
I am the man who goes, the man who comes
Don't mess with me, don't play with me
The voice of experience speaks to you
Ah well
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
Hey, I'm a vagabond, who just goes around the world
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
I went wandering, to forget my sorrows
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
And I bite the word, listen to me, but I don't insult
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
Oh, but don't mess with me, because you might get scared
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
The orphan of love, the proud barbarian
They made me understand the sad misery
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
Oh, I'm a vagabond, you see
I'm homeless, Mom
(I walk without ceasing, I am a vagabond)
