Entre Dos Mares Lyrics in English by Fito y Fitipaldis
Bufón errante translates to "wandering jester". It's a colorful and evocative phrase that paints a vivid picture of a character who is both playful and rootless.
In the song, Fito y Fitipaldis uses this phrase to describe himself: "Soy un bufón errante buscando una princesa" (I am a wandering jester looking for a princess). This metaphor suggests a free-spirited, perhaps unconventional, individual on a quest for something precious, adding a touch of whimsy and introspection to the lyrics.
Fito y Fitipaldis' "Entre Dos Mares" is a really cool song that feels like a rebellious shout against conformity and hypocrisy. The singer is fed up with people who are "tan idiota" [so idiotic] and see power as a victory, even though it's really a defeat. He thinks the world is fake, made of "papel y con papel se compra" [paper and bought with paper], and if he doesn't like something, he'll just "tiro de la cadena" [flush it down the toilet]. He's not worried about fitting in or what others expect.
He also takes a jab at people who celebrate "personajes muertos" [dead characters] with monuments only after they've caused trouble, saying "Primero el puñetazo, luego el monumento" [First the punch, then the monument]. He describes himself as "Perdido entre dos mares sin viento, sin bandera" [Lost between two seas, without wind, without a flag], which paints a picture of someone who doesn't belong to any group or follow any specific path. He doesn't want to be a display in a "escaparates" [shop window]; he wants "la vida entera" [the whole life]. He's a "bufón errante buscando una princesa" [wandering jester looking for a princess], but he's also tough, warning that his "guitarra es una metralleta" [guitar is a machine gun]. He's not afraid to speak his mind, even telling someone, "¡Malditao 'desgraciao', tu voz no es la de todos!" [Damn unfortunate, your voice isn't everyone's!]. He's ready to stay "en el aire para no pisar la mierda" [in the air so as not to step in the shit] and doesn't need "llaves para cruzar las puertas" [keys to cross doors]. And if you're up for it, he just asks you to "¡Deja la ventana abierta!" [Leave the window open!] tonight. It's a song about freedom, authenticity, and not letting anyone else define you.
