CONTENTS SUMMARY
Quisiera Ser (I Wish I Were)
Quisiera ser la ropa
Que abraza tu silueta
La sábana que abriga
En la noche tu piel
I would like to be the clothes
That embrace your silhouette
The sheet that keeps you warm
In the night, your skin

Have you ever wanted to be absolutely everything to someone? Paté de Fuá's "Quisiera Ser" [I Wish I Could Be] is a charming and whimsical exploration of that very desire. The singer expresses a wish to be the most intimate parts of a loved one's life, from the clothes that hug their figure ("la ropa que abraza tu silueta") to the sheets that keep them warm at night ("la sábana que abriga en la noche tu piel").

It's not just about physical closeness, though. The lyrics also reach for a deeper connection, wishing to be the intriguing plot that captivates them ("la trama que te intriga"), the idea that makes them restless ("la idea que te inquieta"), and even the doubt that squeezes their heart at night ("la duda que te aprieta de noche el corazón"). The song continues with these sweet and sometimes funny desires, like wanting to be the gentle breeze under their skirt ("la suave y dulce brisa debajo de tu falda") or the warm tea they'll drink after coming home in the rain. It's a beautiful, heartfelt list of all the ways one person wishes to be intertwined with another's existence, culminating in the simple, repeated plea: "Quisiera ser lo que tú quieras" [I wish I could be whatever you want].

Háblame De Ti (Tell Me About Yourself)
Me dijiste hola
Con una sonrisa por cierto tan linda como el mismo cielo
Te puse nerviosa cuando por travieso te toqué tu pelo
Era la primera vez que te miraba, todo fue tan tierno
You said hello
With a smile so lovely, as beautiful as the sky itself
I made you nervous when mischievously I touched your hair
It was the first time I looked at you, everything was so tender

Have you ever met someone and just knew? Paté de Fuá's "Háblame De Ti" is all about that instant connection, that moment when you meet someone new and your world shifts. The singer remembers their first meeting so clearly: a simple "hola" with a beautiful smile, and a playful touch of her hair that made her blush. He even gave her a rose!

He's so smitten that he just wants to know everything about her. He asks, "Háblame de ti" [Tell me about yourself], wanting to know her age, what she does, and if she's seeing anyone. He's hoping, with a bit of luck, to find her single! He even asks if she believes in love at first sight, because he definitely does. He's ready to hear about her sorrows or if anyone has hurt her, because he's pretty sure his heart has been stolen by her, and he's really hoping she's "disponible solo para mí" [available only for me].

No Sé Por Qué (I Don't Know Why)
No sé por qué vuelvo a caer
Una vez más en la misma trampa
Igual que ayer, sin entender
Que ella es mi debilidad
I don't know why I fall again
Once again in the same trap
Just like yesterday, without understanding
that she is my weakness

Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a loop, making the same mistake over and over again with someone? That's exactly what Paté de Fuá sings about in "No Sé Por Qué" [I Don't Know Why]. The singer is completely baffled, asking, "No sé por qué vuelvo a caer / Una vez más en la misma trampa" [I don't know why I fall again / One more time into the same trap]. He knows this person is his "debilidad" [weakness] and that her "hechizo de vanidad" [spell of vanity] keeps him coming back.

It's a really relatable feeling of being drawn to someone even when you know it's probably not good for you. He describes her as a "tormento que alivia y provoca sed" [torment that soothes and provokes thirst], which is such a cool, contradictory image! He feels completely at her mercy, saying, "Ella es la dueña de mi voluntad" [She is the owner of my will]. Even when she's teasing him, like a "caramelo envuelto en papel" [candy wrapped in paper], he can't escape. He just keeps returning to her "boca como a un manantial" [mouth like a spring]. It's a song about that irresistible, confusing pull towards someone you just can't figure out.

Adoro (I Adore)
Adoro la calle en que nos vimos la noche
Cuando nos conocimos adoro las cosas que
Me dices
Nuestros los ratos felices no solo y
I love the street where we met at night
When we met I adore the things that
you tell me
our happy times not only and

Paté de Fuá's "Adoro" is a beautiful, heartfelt declaration of love, where the singer adores every little detail about their beloved. It's not just the big things; they cherish the street where they first met ("adoro la calle en que nos vimos la noche"), the happy moments they share ("nuestros los ratos felices"), and even the way their partner smiles ("adoro la forma que sonríes"). It's a sweet, intimate look at how love makes even the smallest gestures significant.

The song really emphasizes a deep longing to be close, with lines like "me muero por tenerte junto a mí, cerca muy cerca de mí" [I'm dying to have you next to me, very close to me]. The singer sees their partner as their entire world, calling them their "existencia," "luna," "sol," and "noche de amor" [existence, moon, sun, night of love]. It's a passionate and romantic song that truly expresses being utterly smitten.

Se Me Olvidó Otra Vez (I Forgot Again)
Pero no
Probablemente ya que mi mente es
Olvidada y mientras tanto yo te seguiré
Esperando no me he querido ir para
but not
probably since my mind is
forgotten and meanwhile I will follow you
waiting I didn't want to go

Have you ever been so heartbroken that you just… forgot you broke up? That's exactly what Paté de Fuá explores in "Se Me Olvidó Otra Vez" [I Forgot Again]. The singer is stuck in this loop of forgetting that the relationship is over, even though they know deep down that "ya habíamos terminado" [we had already finished] and "nunca me quisiste" [you never loved me].

It's a really relatable feeling of holding onto hope, even when it's irrational. They keep waiting in the same city, with the same people, just in case their ex decides to come back. The line "probablemente estoy pidiendo demasiado" [I'm probably asking too much] perfectly sums up that internal struggle between wanting someone back and knowing it's a lost cause. It's a bittersweet song about the stubbornness of love and memory.

Cien Años (One Hundred Years)
M
Pasaste a mirador con gran indiferencia
Por tus ojos ni siquiera
Volvieron hacia mi televisión que me
m
you went to lookout with great indifference
not even by your eyes
they turned to my television

Have you ever felt so completely ignored by someone you love that it hurts just to exist? Paté de Fuá's "Cien Años" is all about that gut-wrenching feeling. The singer describes watching their beloved pass by "con gran indiferencia" [with great indifference], not even glancing their way. It's like they're invisible, speaking without being heard, and it's clear this isn't just a passing thought; it's a deep, painful wound.

Even though the person has clearly moved on and forgotten them, the singer's love is still incredibly strong. They admit, "me duele hasta la vida saber que me olvidaste" [it hurts my very life to know you forgot me]. Despite this pain, their existence is still tied to the other person, and they declare, "sigo cien años, cien años pienso en ti" [I'll keep thinking of you for a hundred years, a hundred years]. It's a powerful and a little bit heartbreaking declaration of unwavering devotion, even in the face of complete emotional abandonment.

¿A Dónde Vas? (Where Are You Going?)
E
I
Y
Y
and
Yo
and
and

Have you ever felt that pull between what your head says and what your heart wants? Paté de Fuá's "¿A Dónde Vas?" [Where Are You Going?] really gets into that feeling. The song starts with a question, "¿a dónde vas afuera no para de llover?" [where are you going, it won't stop raining outside?], setting a scene of a long night and a woman who "se sabe" [knows herself]. It feels like a plea to stay, especially when it warns, "afuera no hay más que incomprensión" [outside there's nothing but misunderstanding].

There's a beautiful contradiction in the lyrics, where a "promesa de amor murmura" [promise of love murmurs] even as the water falls. The singer suggests, "brindemos tú y yo será lo que debas volver a tener" [let's toast, you and I, it will be what you should have again]. But then there's that doubt, "hay en tus ojos contradicción" [there's contradiction in your eyes], and the idea that "un gesto te puede delatar" [a gesture can give you away]. It's a song about that moment of decision, when you're not sure if you should let your heart decide or if there's something else holding you back.

Boquita Pintada (Little Painted Mouth)
E
A tu boca pintada siempre fue mi
Perdición
Junto a dispensaba caminando bajo el sol
and
to your painted mouth was always my
perdition
next to dispensed walking in the sun

Have you ever been completely captivated by someone's smile or, in this case, their lips? Paté de Fuá's "Boquita Pintada" is a beautiful, heartfelt confession of love, all centered around a woman's "painted mouth." The singer admits, "a tu boca pintada siempre fue mi perdición" [your painted mouth was always my undoing], showing how utterly smitten he is. He remembers walking under the sun with her, feeling the ground tremble beneath their feet, and promises to love her with great hope.

He describes her mouth as a "dulce pétalo color carmín" [sweet, carmine-colored petal] and says that when he kissed her, her voice went silent, and she became "la más bella flor" [the most beautiful flower] in his heart. The song repeats the idea that her "boca pintada fue el destino de mi amor" [painted mouth was the destiny of my love], emphasizing how deeply and completely he fell for her. It's a charming and romantic ode to a love sparked by a simple, yet powerful, detail.

El Valsecito De Don Serafín (Don Serafín's Little Waltz)
Pero no
A mí
Es un acordeón guitarra y violín
Él tiene la orquesta de don serafín un
but not
me
it is an accordion guitar and violin
he has the orchestra of don serafin a

Get ready to be transported to a lively village dance with Paté de Fuá's "El Valsecito De Don Serafín"! This song tells the story of Don Serafín, a beloved musician who, with his accordion, guitar, and violin, formed an orchestra that knew how to play only one waltz. But that was all they needed! "Y todo el pueblo salía a bailar" [And the whole town would come out to dance] to his music, playing "hasta amanecer" [until dawn].

Don Serafín lived for almost 100 years, always playing his special waltz. The lyrics repeat the joyful sound: "Suena la viola suena el violín y las cordones de don Serafín" [The viola plays, the violin plays, and Don Serafín's accordions play]. Even after he passed away, the song expresses a longing for his music to return: "Que vuelvo a la viola que vuelva el acordeón al de don Serafín" [May the viola return, may Don Serafín's accordion return]. It's a beautiful tribute to the power of music to bring people together and create lasting memories.

Esquina De Mi Barrio (Corner of My Neighborhood)
En esta esquina que reliquia de mis
Pasos brillan recuerdos como luces de un
Faro primer amor que palpitando entre
Mis brazos me hizo querer descuidando el
in this corner that relic of my
steps shine memories like lights of a
lighthouse first love that throbbing between
my arms made me want to neglect the

Have you ever had a place that holds so many memories, good and bad? That's what "Esquina De Mi Barrio" [The Corner of My Neighborhood] is all about! The song takes us to a specific street corner that's a "reliquia de mis pasos" [relic of my steps], where the singer's first love blossomed. It's a place where "brillan recuerdos como luces de un faro" [memories shine like lighthouse lights], reminding him of a time when he gave his heart away completely.

But this corner isn't just about happy memories. It's also where he experienced heartbreak for the first time, when his love ended with a sad "no queda nada más entre tú y yo" [there's nothing left between you and me]. He laments that "hasta el amor se fue con un verano, jamás volvió" [even love left with a summer, it never returned]. The song beautifully expresses the pain of losing love and how even time and forgetting are "hermanos que nunca cumplen las promesas del amor" [brothers who never keep love's promises]. It's a really touching song about how a place can hold so much of our past, especially the echoes of a lost love.

Más Allá (Beyond)
Si es que tú me has olvidado
Si es que tú ya no me quieres
El mar muere (el mar muere)
El mar muere (el mar muere)
if you have forgotten me
if you don't love me anymore
The sea dies (the sea dies)
The sea dies (the sea dies)

Have you ever felt like the world would just stop if your love wasn't by your side? That's exactly what Paté de Fuá sings about in "Más Allá"! The lyrics are so dramatic and heartfelt, saying things like "El mar muere" [The sea dies] if the person they love isn't there. It's a powerful image, right? Like everything loses its life and meaning.

But it's not all sadness! The song also has this beautiful, hopeful twist. Even if they're forgotten, the singer dreams of finding their love again in the afterlife. "Cuando muera en el cielo, Yo quisiera encontrar un angelito Con tu cara" [When I die in heaven, I would like to find a little angel with your face]. And then the promise: "Por la eternidad Te amaría igual que aquí en el más allá" [For eternity I would love you the same as here in the beyond]. It's such a sweet and comforting thought, that love can truly last forever, even past this life.

Paloma Querida (Beloved Dove)
Por el día en que llegaste a mi vida
Para más querida me puse a brincar y al
Sentirme a poco tu llamado pensando en
Tus labios me dio por cantar te sentís
for the day you came into my life
for more dear I began to jump and at
little by little feel your call thinking about
your lips gave me to sing you feel

Get ready to swoon with Paté de Fuá's "Paloma Querida"! This song is a beautiful serenade, a heartfelt declaration of love to a "paloma querida" [beloved dove]. The singer is completely smitten, remembering "el día en que llegaste a mi vida" [the day you came into my life] and how he started to sing just thinking about her lips. He feels she's superior to anyone else, even wanting to "un puño de estrellas te quise bajar" [bring down a handful of stars for you]! But when he realizes no amount of stars is enough, he gets so frustrated he wants to stop.

He's not sure if his love will be received, but he's bringing it to her anyway, saying "yo no sé si tu amor la reciba, pero yo te la vengo a dejar" [I don't know if your love will receive it, but I'm coming to leave it with you]. He even compares himself to a pilgrim without direction or faith before she came along, and how her "ojos divinos cambiaron mis penas por dicha y placer" [divine eyes changed my sorrows into joy and pleasure]. It's a sweet, almost desperate plea of love, full of adoration and a little bit of charming self-doubt. You can really feel his devotion!

Película Muda (Silent Film)
Hoy te ves tan hermosa
Que no puedo ni hablarte
Distante y luminosa
Igual que una obra de arte
today you look so beautiful
that I can't even talk to you
distant and bright
just like a work of art

Have you ever been so captivated by someone that you just can't speak? That's exactly what Paté de Fuá sings about in "Película Muda" [Silent Film]. The singer is completely mesmerized, describing the person as so beautiful that he can't even talk to them, calling them "distante y luminosa, igual que una obra de arte" [distant and luminous, just like a work of art]. His palms are sweating, and his tongue feels tied, making him wish for a "película muda" [silent film] where words aren't needed.

He continues to admire every detail, from their eyes being "ventanas de luz al infinito" [windows of light to the infinite] to their mouth being an apple, and their kiss, his appetite. It's a really sweet and a little bit funny look at being utterly speechless and smitten, where his intentions are laid bare in this silent movie of his gaze, as he sings, "Yo te miro sembrando una duda en la palma de tu corazón y en la película muda se desnuda mi intención" [I look at you planting a doubt in the palm of your heart and in the silent film my intention is laid bare].

Yuyo Verde - En Vivo (Green Weed - Live)
Vamos a hacer una pieza que es un
Estreno es un antiguo tajo argentino que
Se llama yo verde y está en la
Particular versión de patria forma
we are going to make a piece that is a
première is an old Argentine pit that
It's called me green and it's in the
particular version of patria forma

This live version of "Yuyo Verde" by Paté de Fuá is a beautiful, melancholic tango that feels like a bittersweet memory. The song opens with the band introducing it as an "antiguo tajo argentino" [an old Argentine cut], a classic tango, and you can really feel that traditional influence throughout.

It tells a story of lost love, walking hand-in-hand down a "callejón" [alleyway] that now feels like a distant dream. The lyrics, "porque igual que en un tango y 12 perdidos de la mano" [because just like in a tango, and two lost hand-in-hand], perfectly set the scene for a romantic, yet ultimately sorrowful, reflection. The singer remembers a "cielo de verano" [summer sky] that seemed to say goodbye, and the pain of a love that's gone. There's a powerful sense of longing as they ask, "a dónde te has ido, donde están plumas de mi nido" [where have you gone, where are the feathers of my nest?], a really poetic way to express the emptiness left behind. The repeated line about not being able to return to your country, "que tu país ya no se vuelve" [that your country is no longer returned to], adds another layer of irreversible loss, connecting the personal heartbreak to a larger, more permanent separation. It's a truly moving piece about memory, regret, and the things we can't get back.
