“Corazón” is a playful love anthem where Los Auténticos Decadentes confess how totally spellbound they feel around someone special. The singer can’t control a thing: her smile hypnotizes him, her eyes dismantle his defenses, and he melts “like ice in the sun.” Every decision, from where to go to how he acts, orbits around her presence. He compares himself to a stray dog loyally following her through the streets, yet he stresses he isn’t a prisoner or a robot—just a free spirit overwhelmed by a face that stole his heart.

The chorus drives home the tug-of-war between independence and irresistible attraction. No matter how much he claims autonomy, that beloved “carita” keeps winning, carrying off his corazón again and again. The song is light-hearted, catchy, and bursting with vivid images that paint falling head-over-heels as both exhilarating and a little ridiculous. It reminds listeners that real love can make even the most independent soul feel happily helpless.

This classic Argentine rock song paints a picture of someone stuck in a loop. The singer describes constantly walking and waiting for someone, hoping to change their situation, or their "calle" (street). It's a journey filled with a repeating cycle of hope and frustration. The line "Muerdo del anzuelo, y vuelvo a empezar de nuevo" which means "I bite the hook, and I start all over again" suggests they keep falling into the same trap in a relationship or personal struggle.

The heart of the song points to a specific cultural trait: "Costumbres argentinas de decir, 'no'" ("Argentine customs of saying, 'no'"). This suggests the difficulty comes from a tendency towards rejection or hesitation, making the singer's emotional situation worse and worse. Despite the heartbreak, the singer holds a card, ready to "jugar el juego" ("play the game"), showing a persistent, though perhaps tired, readiness to face the challenge once more.

Have you ever felt so in love that you just can't stop talking about that person, even if it means talking to yourself on the street? That's exactly what Los Auténticos Decadentes and Juan Ingaramo are singing about in "Loco Perdido"! The lyrics tell us, "la gente vive diciendo que soy un loco perdido porque hablo solo en la calle como si hablara conmigo" [people keep saying I'm a lost crazy person because I talk to myself on the street as if I were talking to me].

Our singer is so smitten that he's literally walking the streets, tracing the steps of a past love, and even sitting in the bar where they first met. He admits, "yo sé que estoy loco" [I know I'm crazy], but it's a happy kind of crazy because he's so full of love. It's a fun, upbeat song about being completely, wonderfully lost in love, even if it looks a little silly to everyone else!

Get ready to groove with "La Ladrona"! This song, a collaboration between Los Auténticos Decadentes and Diego Verdaguer, tells the story of someone who's had their heart stolen. The singer describes their new love as a "ladrona" [thief] who has "robado el corazón" [stolen the heart].

It's a playful take on falling in love, where the singer wakes up to find their heart gone, asking, "¿por qué razón / sin consultar / te hiciste amarte?" [for what reason / without consulting / did you make yourself loved?]. They admit their heart is "delicado" [delicate] because it's "una vez fue lastimado" [once was hurt], so they're asking their new love to "cuídame, quiéreme, bésame, mímame" [take care of me, love me, kiss me, pamper me]. It's a fun, catchy tune about surrendering to love, even when your heart needs a little extra care!

Get ready to groove with Los Auténticos Decadentes and León Gieco in "Cola de Amor"! This song is all about finding your way, even when you feel a bit lost. The lyrics talk about sometimes being "sin rumbo" [without direction] but always with "la de amor" [the one of love] by your side. It's a sweet promise to keep searching for that special person, saying "voy a buscar te espero a ti" [I'm going to look for you, I'll wait for you].

What I love about this song is its hopeful spirit. Even after "diez años que lo siento" [ten years that I feel it], the singer believes "no creo que alguien pueda robarme este amor" [I don't think anyone can steal this love from me]. It's a declaration of a love that lasts, a "canto libre para el lunes para vos" [a free song for Monday for you]. The idea of wanting to "empezar todo de nuevo" [start everything over again] to keep going really hits home, reminding us that sometimes a fresh start is exactly what we need.

Have you ever given your all in a relationship, only to feel like you got nothing but heartache in return? That's exactly what Los Auténticos Decadentes and Natalia Lafourcade are singing about in "Golpes en el Corazón" [Blows to the Heart]. The singer constantly reminds their ex, "Yo te regalaba todo, Todo lo que me pedías" [I gave you everything, Everything you asked for], even sacrificing friendships and arguing with their own mother for this person. Talk about dedication!

But what did they get back? "Falsas promesas de amor" [False promises of love] and, as the title says, "Golpes en el corazón" [Blows to the heart]. It's a relatable story of feeling used and unappreciated, leading to the decision to move on and find someone new "Para sanar las heridas, Voy a buscar otro amor" [To heal the wounds, I'm going to look for another love]. It's a powerful anthem for anyone who's been through a tough breakup and is ready to heal.

Get ready for a wild ride with Los Auténticos Decadentes and Bandalos Chinos! "Luna de Miel en la Mano" [Honeymoon in Hand] is a really imaginative song that takes you on a journey through someone's mind.

The lyrics describe a powerful imagination that "me programando ciento volando y me arrojó sobre la música" [programmed me flying and threw me onto the music]. It's like the person's thoughts have a life of their own, pushing them towards a dream. There's this cool, slightly surreal image of a "luna de miel en la tumba de locura" [honeymoon in the tomb of madness], which sounds a bit intense but also exciting, like finding joy in unexpected places. The song also talks about "carneros de miel entre tus manos" [rams of honey between your hands] and a "cita ideal" [ideal date], promising a sweet and perfect connection. It's all about a love that feels out of this world, almost alien, with lines like "cometa amy como un alien sueño" [comet amy like an alien dream]. It's a fun, energetic song about being swept away by imagination and a passionate connection!

This song, "Seguir Viviendo Sin Tu Amor" by Los Auténticos Decadentes featuring Los Pericos, is a really passionate declaration of love and dependence. The singer is basically saying that their love is so essential, it's like the sun itself!

They sing, "Y si acaso no brillara el sol Y quedara yo atrapado aquí No vería la razón De seguir viviendo sin tu amor" [And if the sun didn't shine And I were trapped here I wouldn't see the reason To keep living without your love]. It's a pretty dramatic way to say they can't imagine life without their beloved. There's also a touch of desperation as they return, singing "Y hoy que enloquecido vuelvo Buscando tu querer No queda más que viento" [And today, as I return, crazed Looking for your love There's nothing left but wind], suggesting a longing for a love that might no longer be there.

Los Auténticos Decadentes bring us a song about the bittersweet sting of a love that was, perhaps, never truly real. Our singer thought he'd found love, falling head over heels, only to be left alone.

He's stuck remembering those sweet moments, now just a longing, realizing it was all a "fantasía fugaz" [fleeting fantasy]. He dreamed of happiness with this person, and now he's awake, back to reality, and they're gone. The song repeats this feeling of being left with only illusion, still hoping they'll return, even though deep down he suspects it was just a dream. It's that classic feeling of being promised a return – "Dijiste que pronto ibas a regresar" [You said you'd come back soon] – and holding onto that hope, even when your head tells you it was all just a beautiful mirage.

This song, "El Gran Señor" by Los Auténticos Decadentes with Los Nocheros, is a really interesting take on moving on from a past relationship. The singer tells us that since they no longer have to "cuidar tu cariño" [take care of your affection] or "oír tus caprichos" [listen to your whims], they "ya no sufro tanto" [don't suffer as much]. It sounds like the relationship was a lot of work!

Then, the song introduces "el gran señor" [the great lord], someone who drives a Rolls-Royce and has a very "sobrador" [arrogant] air. This new person tried to be the love that would make the ex-partner forget the singer, but the lyrics are clear: "nunca lo logró ni lo logrará" [he never achieved it, nor will he]. The rich man shared his wealth to try and get "un poco de amor, lo que nunca vos le pudiste dar" [a little love, what you could never give him]. It's a pretty blunt assessment of a relationship built on money rather than genuine affection, and the singer seems quite content to be out of that whole situation.

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.
