Song Meaning of “Tengo Hambre – I’m Hungry” by Basho & Friends
‘Tengo Hambre – I’m Hungry’ by Basho & Friends is a song about the feeling of a deep longing and hunger for something that remains just out of reach. It speaks to the struggle of wanting something but not being quite able to attain it. It discusses the difficulty of feeling like you can’t start climbing the mountains of life until you satisfy this hunger. The chorus translates to:
“I’m hungry, I’m so lost, I need to be able to take the first step, I don’t know which way I should go, I’m so desperate, I’m apprehensive of the future, will I get there one day, I’m so hungry.”
The song speaks to the need to find the source of a person’s hunger and then be able to take the steps necessary to start satisfying that hunger. It’s a reminder that even if somebody can’t find the food that will sate them, they can still take the first steps and eventually get where they need to be. The song is also a reminder that a person should never give up when faced with obstacles and should always keep striving to reach their goals. Taking that first step, although it might be the hardest, is necessary in order to reach the other side.
