El Campo Lyrics in English by Gipsy Kings, Tonino Baliardo
Bohemio translates to "bohemian." It's a less common word in everyday Spanish songs, making it stand out.
In the context of "El Campo," it perfectly captures the free-spirited, unconventional lifestyle of the Gipsy Kings and their community, emphasizing their joy in living life on their own terms, prioritizing happiness and family over material wealth. It's a word that evokes a sense of artistic freedom and a unique way of life.
Get ready to dance with Gipsy Kings and Tonino Baliardo in "El Campo"! This song is a pure celebration of the Romani way of life, focusing on joy, family, and a love for tradition. From the very first lines, you're invited to join the party: "En el pueblo, los gitanos no paramos de bailar / Con el fuego de la noche nos echamos a bailar" [In the village, we gypsies don't stop dancing / With the fire of the night we start to dance]. It's all about living authentically, as they say, "Así se vive lo gitano, lo gitano de verdad" [This is how the gypsy life is lived, the true gypsy life].
The Gipsy Kings make it clear that their values are simple and deeply held. They declare, "Por los años y los años / Y por nada cambiaremos / Nuestra forma de vivir" [For years and years / And for nothing will we change / Our way of life]. What do they prioritize? "Solo fiesta y alegría / Salud antes que dinero / Y amar a la familia" [Only party and joy / Health before money / And loving the family]. They even switch to Catalan, their language from home, to emphasize their roots in Catalonia and France, and their shared identity: "gitanos sem tots iguals" [we are all gypsies the same]. It's a beautiful picture of a life lived with passion and a deep sense of community.
