Song Meaning of “El Murguero” by Los Auténticos Decadentes
“El Murguero” is a song about being able to ne creative and inventive with the music and lyrics in order to tell a story. It speaks to those who might prefer to remain on the sidelines, the observers, to look for inspiration and motivation to find their own voice and create something special.
The lyrics emphasize the idea that loneliness and being on one’s own is never a problem and that it can provide an environment in which people can be most creative. They can come up with an amazing story and compose a song out of it using their own imaginations and ingenuity.
The catchy chorus also conveys the idea that one doesn’t need a lot of musical technique or knowledge to compose a great song, but rather the willingness to follow the flow and get lost in the music and creative process. The message is to forget all of the worries and simply write or compose whatever comes to mind, not worrying if it resonates with others or not.
At the end of the day, it’s about creating something special that’s unique to the individual.
