Discover the story of the song > El Viejo – La Vela Puerca

The song talks about a man who grew up in a loving home but became enamored with the temptations of his neighborhood as he got older. He fell in love with life and women, but also experienced the pain that came with it. As he grew older, he tried to settle down and work hard, but found that he couldn't contain his free spirit and eventually became an alcoholic, ending up on the streets with only his dog and a cheap bottle of wine. The chorus asks where he is going, but he cannot look back because of the bitter ending to his story.
