Soy Vagabundo

Héctor Lavoe Héctor Lavoe

I'm a Drifter

Drifting around, I'm a drifter
For not finding in this world
Where I can spend happy hours
Where I can put down deep roots

Where I can bear fruit like a new tree
The musical wisdom I carry inside

Drifting around, I'm a drifter
And every misunderstanding is like a wall
That limits the reach of my impulses
And I bite my words, but I don't insult

Before cursing, I prefer with pride
To simply be that, a drifter

I'm the man who goes, I'm the man who comes
I'm the one who isn't where it suits him
Envy and resentment are alike
In me they are dead beasts because they never bite me

Tired of hearing the voice of harshness
The love orphan fills it with pride
Tired of seeing how in everything it's like a swamp
That passion is mud and friendship is mud

I'm the man who goes, I'm the man who comes
I'm the one who isn't where it suits him

(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
I'm the drifter and I go around the world
(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
Tired of hearing the love orphan
The barbaric pride

(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
In friendships mud, in passions mud
(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
And I keep drifting, looking for what isn't there

(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
I'm the man who goes, the man who comes
Don't mess with me, you can't mess with me

Oh well

(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
Hey, I'm a drifter, just going around the world
(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
I started drifting, to forget the sorrows
(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
And I bite my words, listen, but I don't insult

(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
Oh, but don't mess with me, because you might get scared
(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
The love orphan, the barbaric pride
Made me understand the sadness misery

(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
Oh, I'm a drifter, you see
I'm a drifter, mama
(I keep walking without stopping, I'm a drifter)
