SOLO QUIERO CAMINAR

A great song by Paco and Camaron! But can anybody tell me what the words to the song mean?

Thanks,

James

thanks Miguel for that translation... so the song means something about only wanting to talk. And thanks Duende for the correction- I thought it was Camaron, but perhaps I got it wrong.

Kate, unfortunately not... I tried the inside of the album sleeve, but there don't appear to be any lyrics printed there. I also searched the net for ages looking for them but no success. I think the best bet would be if someone who fluently understands Spanish has heard the song and knows what it all means.

Thanks,

James

I only want to walk, like the rain flows down the window, like the river runs to the sea...

Thanks Kate, nice translating!

I'm not sure I'm much closer to understanding what Pepe actually meant by the lyrics, but it is certainly interesting to know what the words mean.

Cheers,

James

Duende, what format is the tab written in? Eg. powertab or Guitar pro?

Thanks,

James,

I interpret the lyrics to mean that he just wants to take his own path. In other words, "get off my back and let me do my own thing." Anyway, thats my take on it. Any other opinions?
