    Default Soy Vagabundo by Hector LaVoe

    Could someone kindly translate this lyric into English? Thank you.
    Soy Vagabundo
    (Canta: Héctor Lavoe)

    Vagabundeando voy, soy vagabundo
    por no encontrar en este mundo
    dónde poder pasar horas felices,
    dónde poder hechar hondas raíces,.

    Dónde fructificar cual árbol nuevo
    la savia musical que adentro llevo.

    Vagabundeando voy, soy vagabundo
    y cada incomprensión es como un muro
    que limita el alcance de mis impulsos
    y muerdo las palabras; pero no insulto.

    Antes de maldecir prefiero con orgullo
    ser simplemente eso un vagabundo.

    Soy el hombre que va soy el hombre que viene
    soy ese que no esta donde no le conviene
    la envidia y el rencor en todo se parecen
    en mi son bestias muertas porque jamás me muerden.

    Cansado de escuchar la voz de la inclemencia
    la huérfana de amor la llena de soberbia.
    Cansado de mirar como un pántano en todo
    que la pasión es fango y la amistad es lodo

    Me dí vagabundear por todos lados
    tratando de encontrar lo que no hallo.

    el hombre que va el hombre que viene
    soy ese que no está donde no le conviene

    Coro:
    Voy caminando sin cesar, soy vagabundo.

    Hello whatbrownwhat, I'm unable to translate this particular song for you but there is another Hispanic world renowned group called " Los Panchos ", also
    known as " Trio Los Panchos " who sing a beauty of a song along the similiar
    vein, to some degree, called, " Vagabundo ", which means to be a vagrant, a
    drifter, a loner and various times, a bum. Los Panchos are on You Tube, MySpace
    and http://www.ociotube.com/video.php?op...eo=344fDyuepUQ

    vvI'm a tramp
    (Héctor Lavoe)
    Tramping along I go, I'm a tramp
    Because I haven't found in this world
    A place to spend happy hours
    A place to settle down
    A place to plant the fruitful new tree
    The musical sap I have inside
    Tramping along I go, I'm a tramp
    And each lack of understanding is like a wall

    That limits the reach of my impulses
    And I bite the words; but I don't insult
    Before I swear I proudly prefer
    To be just that, a tramp
    I'm the man who goes, I am the man who comes
    I'm the one who isn't in places where it's not advisable to be

    The envy and the resentment are similar in everything
    In me they're dead beasts because they never bite me
    Tired of hearing the voice of harshness
    The orphan of love fills it up with pride

    Tired of looking into everything like a swamp
    That passion is mud and friendship is mire
    I gave myself to tramping everywhere
    Trying to find what I can't come across
    The man who goes the man who comes
    I'm the one who isn't in places where it's not advisable to be
    Chorus:
    I endlessly walk, I'm a tramp
    Soy Vagabundo
