Lamento Boliviano Lyrics in English Eslabon Armado

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lamento Boliviano by Eslabon Armado from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
They want to shake me up, they push me to shout
I am like a rock, words don't touch me
Inside there's a volcano that will soon erupt
I want to be calm
It's my situation, a desolation
I am like a lament, Bolivian lament
That one day began and won't end
And nobody hurts me
Chorus 1
And I am here drunk and crazy
And my idiot heart will always shine
And I will love you, I will love you forever
Babe, don't comb your hair in bed
That the travelers are going to be late
Chorus 2
And I am here drunk and crazy
And my idiot heart will always shine
And I will love you, I will love you forever
Babe, don't comb your hair in bed
That the travelers are going to be late

SONG MEANING

Get ready to feel the heat of a hidden volcano! In Lamento Boliviano, Eslabon Armado sings from the point of view of someone who looks solid as a rock on the outside, yet is bubbling with emotion on the inside. The world keeps poking at him, trying to make him explode, but he insists on staying calm… even if that means being “borracho y loco” (drunk and crazy). The catchy melody wraps a mix of rebellion and sadness: a promise of eternal love, a heart that “always shines,” and a playful superstition about not combing your hair in bed or else travelers will be late.

Listening to this song is like eavesdropping on a midnight confession. We hear a man wrestling with loneliness, pride, and undying affection, using humor and folk-style sayings to mask his pain. His lamento began long ago and, as he warns, it is “not going to end.” Yet through the alcohol haze and emotional storm, he still believes nobody can truly hurt him. That fierce resilience, paired with tender devotion, is what makes Lamento Boliviano both a bittersweet anthem and an unforgettable sing-along.
