Bohemio De Afición Lyrics in English by Lupillo Rivera
Bohemio de afición is a unique and evocative phrase that literally translates to "bohemian by hobby" or "amateur bohemian." It describes someone who embraces a free-spirited, unconventional lifestyle, not as a full-time commitment, but as a passionate pastime.
In the song, Lupillo Rivera uses this phrase to characterize himself as someone who enjoys the bohemian life of late nights, music, and camaraderie, even if it's not his sole identity. It paints a picture of a person who dips into this world for pleasure and escape, making it a memorable and intriguing description.
Lupillo Rivera's "Bohemio De Afición" is a fascinating look into the mind of a self-proclaimed wanderer and heartbreaker. He's upfront about his nature, telling a potential lover, "aléjate de mí no quiero que me quieras" [stay away from me, I don't want you to love me]. He sees himself as "otoño gris" [gray autumn] and her as "primavera" [spring], highlighting their fundamental differences and his own lack of purity, admitting he gets "perdido con cualquiera" [lost with anyone].
He's not shy about his reputation, calling himself "infiel en el amor" [unfaithful in love] and even saying he enjoys "rompiendo corazones me entretengo" [breaking hearts, I entertain myself]. He lives for the moment, declaring "hoy vivo millonario mañana mentido" [today I live like a millionaire, tomorrow I lie]. He's a "bohemio de afición" [bohemian by hobby], someone who loves the nightlife, the "antro de lo peor" [worst kind of club], with "vinos y hay mujeres y si hay guitarras" [wines and women and if there are guitars]. It's a blunt, honest, and almost defiant declaration of a life lived on his own terms, full of fleeting pleasures and a refusal to be tied down.
