I'm having trouble translating this phrase from the song, "La Borracha" by Los Huricanes del Norte: "Si su consuelo es andar en las cavernas" Thanks

Complete guess: "If you like walking in the caves..." ? Is it an idiom I wonder? - rabbitwho, Sep 4, 2011

Los Huracanes del Norte. " La borracha".

The lyrics are "si su consuelo es andar en las tabernas", yo no la culpo... If her consolation is to "wander around taverns", I don´t blame her...

A simple change in the letter from "c" to "t" can make a huge difference.

How about,

It's as if he is rummaging in the caves for comfort.

Without more context I'd say it means something like "his consolation is going to/exploring caves."
