After a long trip

It was planted in Madrid

In your suitcase a dream

His songs and a maybe

after a tie

A belly spoke to him

'Your songs are cool

But no one listens to rock anymore

I'll do you a favor, come

Kneel down

I'll give you a star if you give me up

Just a little bit of your love

And she cracked her guitar head

while singing a song

We are the children that the blues had one night

On the eighth day the devil invented

rock and roll

He continued teaching his songs

And almost no one listened to her

'Change your style' they told him

'And do urban instead of rock'

And two minutes before midnight

He decided to sign

At a crossroads

A contract with the king of evil

He finally got it

will never come back

To take the route of the deaf

On another record label

And she cracked her guitar head

while singing a song

We are the children that the blues had one night

And on the eighth day the devil invented

rock and roll

On the first day

God created light

The sky in the second

And the third the land and the sea

The fourth the sun and the moon

The fish the fifth created

The sixth animals and man

And the seventh he rested

But the rock the rock

God never did it

The Devil was bored

And blues and rock invented

And she cracked her guitar head

while singing a song

We are the children that the blues had one night

And on the eighth day the devil created us

And when death comes to visit me

and my heart stops

On my grave write this phrase

'On the eighth day the devil invented

Rock and roll

sordos — deaf

Sordos translates to "deaf". While seemingly straightforward, its use in the song's title, "La Ruta De Los Sordos" (The Route of the Deaf), is highly metaphorical and intriguing.

In the context of the lyrics, it refers to the music industry executives and the general public who are

Mägo de Oz, a band from Spain, tells a story in "La Ruta De Los Sordos" about the struggles of an artist trying to make it in the music world. The song starts with someone arriving in Madrid with big dreams and songs, only to be told by a music executive, "Tus canciones molan / Pero ya nadie escucha rock" [Your songs are cool / But nobody listens to rock anymore]. The executive offers fame in exchange for a "little bit of your love," which the artist rejects by smashing their guitar on the executive's head while singing.

Despite being told to "Cambia de estilo... Y haz urbano en vez de rock" [Change your style... And make urban instead of rock], the artist holds out. But eventually, just before midnight, they sign a contract "con el rey del mal" [with the king of evil] at a crossroads. This deal finally brings success, meaning they'll never again have to follow "la ruta de los sordos" [the route of the deaf] in another record company. The song humorously concludes by stating that God created everything else, but "El Diablo se aburría / Y el blues y el rock inventó" [The Devil was bored / And invented blues and rock], making rock and roll a truly devilish creation!
