The song was adapted at least eight times by other artists, including the famous reggaeton singer Yandel with his song “Te amaré”.

Lamento Boliviano's meaning refers to all the xenophobia that Bolivian people suffer even in Hispanic countries thanks to their looks, their indigenous apparency, and their small height. Bolivian immigrants tend to wear their cultural attires and sell souvenirs in plazas and small stores alongside selling music CDs with Bolivian flute music. For that reason, exist the phrase Lamento Boliviano, is because of all the things Bolivian people have to endure in each country they move in. Lamento Boliviano represents a constant feeling of hardship in your life.

Now the lyrics for the song tell us the story of a boy who is struggling with his life, everything is against him, and they want to disturb his peace but he is strong as a rock. His actual situation is a desolation, he is like a Bolivian Lament, that isn’t going to end but will not hurt him either. The song then starts to speak about a girl the boy loves, he is drunk and crazy because of her, and his idiotic heart will always love her. The lyrics for the song should be understood as a tragicomedy instead of something serious.

Now, in terms of learning “Lamento Boliviano” is an easy song, with no complex lyrics, no strange voice singing and there is no slang or Spanish terms that are usually understood by natives.
