What made me fall in love with him was that he always left without paying the bill
He talked nonstop, he'd look at you and already turn you around
I was his apprentice wizard
He taught me that living
is starving in the street
When the world pulls downward it's better not to be tied to anything
With the Rickenbacker, a piece of paper and a biro, that's enough for me
I wrote what is
what nobody wants to see
Give someone a mask and he'll tell you the truth
And always his headphones
He fought it in the nightclub
Even the fiercest paturica
And he threw the CP-70
when his girl left him
You gotta make the chorus
so the people sing
Don't judge others
And how's everything at home?
The road isn't that long
It goes by in a second
he told me
"It's really cold up here, Fito
on the top of this world
Don't give fools any attention
Help the dying man
Don't listen to the impostor
and don't forget
that music belongs to nobody"
Sun star that lights up this sh*tty world
You set a thousand bicycles rolling with your long legs
By my side to the end
and me at yours till I die
Do you remember when you lent me your headphones?
And always his headphones

SONG MEANING

“Sus Auriculares” is Fito Páez’s affectionate postcard to a larger-than-life friend, a street-wise mentor who breezed through the world with Rickenbacker in hand and headphones always on. The lyrics jump from skipping restaurant tabs to late-night brawls at the disco, from scribbling truths on scrap paper to chucking a CP-70 piano in heartbreak. Through these vivid snapshots Fito shows us someone who taught him the beauty of living light, of never chaining yourself to anything when “el mundo tira para abajo,” and of using music as both shield and megaphone.

At its core the song celebrates freedom, honesty and camaraderie: wear a mask and the truth still leaks out, help the dying stranger, ignore the impostor, remember that “la música no es de nadie.” The ever-present headphones become a symbol of shared passion; they carried his friend through the chaos and now carry Fito’s memories. By the time the chorus invites “que cante la gente,” we feel the warmth of that friendship and the rebellious spirit that keeps rock - and anyone chasing their own sound - alive.
