Vocabulario Básico Lyrics in English Rawayana

Rawayana’s "Vocabulario Básico" is a playful confession about how words so often fall short when we try to describe deep feelings. The singer pictures himself piecing together a “complex puzzle” and consulting dictionaries, all while strumming his guitar, hoping that sound will fill the gap language leaves behind. Each verse is a tug-of-war between elaborate plans and the simple truth that emotions can’t always be translated; you can feel him fumbling for the perfect phrase, then shrugging and letting the music do the talking.

The repeated chorus of “no quiero, no puedo” (I don’t want to, I can’t) drives home the frustration of relying on fancy vocabulary just to impress someone. Instead of promising the sky with empty words, he chooses honesty, admitting that love expressed through genuine actions matters more than eloquent speeches. It’s an ironic twist: a song titled “Basic Vocabulary” ends up showing that the most meaningful language might be the one that doesn’t need a dictionary at all.
