Pavadas is a colloquial term in Spanish, particularly common in Argentina, meaning "nonsense" or "silly things." It's a more colorful and informal way to say tonterías.
In "El Vino Triste," the lyrics state, "Se llena la cabeza de pavadas / Y uno las termina por creer" (One's head fills with nonsense / And one ends up believing them). This word perfectly captures the song's melancholic and introspective mood, highlighting how easily one can get lost in trivial or negative thoughts when alone.
Los Auténticos Decadentes, with the legendary Raúl Lavié, bring us a song that's all about that feeling when you just don't want someone to leave, even if you know they probably should. The singer is in a quiet, lonely night, feeling down, with a "triste vino" [sad wine]. He admits he's been a lot to handle, saying "Ya sé que vos andás con ganas de irte" [I know you want to leave] and that he's "enloquecido con mis penas" [driven you crazy with my sorrows].
But despite all that, he just wants them to stay a little longer. He pleads, "Quédate, por favor, un rato más" [Stay, please, a little longer], even asking them to "Contame, por lo menos, algún chiste" [Tell me, at least, a joke] to keep the "fantasmas" [ghosts] away. He even gets a bit dramatic, saying he only "sobrevivo por tu compañía" [survives because of your company]. It's a really relatable song about those moments when you just need someone to stick around, even if it's just for one more joke.
