Los Perdidos

El Bordo's song 'Los Perdidos' delves into the themes of wandering, companionship, and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey filled with uncertainty and struggle, as the narrator stumbles and shares stories that he has heard before. This imagery of 'tambaleando' (stumbling) and 'chamuyando historias' (telling stories) sets the tone for a narrative of lost souls ('sedientas almas') who are restless and unable to find peace.

Despite the hardships, the song emphasizes the importance of companionship and gratitude. The narrator acknowledges the presence of a significant other who provides support and energy, making it easier to endure the difficulties. The lines 'Se que vos estas ahí como el sonido' (I know you are there like the sound) and 'Mas que dar mi corazón y agradecer que estés conmigo' (All I can do is give my heart and thank you for being with me) highlight the deep appreciation and emotional connection that sustains the narrator.

The song also touches on the transformative power of joy and healing. The energy of the companion brings joy, heals wounds, and turns them into a 'carnaval' (carnival), symbolizing a celebration of life despite its challenges. The repeated theme of being lost ('los perdidos') without a clear path underscores the universal human experience of searching for direction and meaning. However, the assurance of having someone by one's side provides a sense of solace and purpose, even in the midst of uncertainty.

'Los Perdidos' by El Bordo is a poignant reflection on the human condition, emphasizing the importance of connection, gratitude, and finding joy in the journey, no matter how lost one may feel.
