Mil Horas Lyrics in English Los Abuelos de la Nada

“Mil Horas” catapults us into the restless heart of 1980s Buenos Aires, where love, rock, and rebellion collide. The narrator sits “sobre esta piedra”—alone, shivering, disillusioned—while wondering “para qué sirven las guerras.” His mind races like the “cohete en el pantalón,” a cheeky metaphor for explosive youthful energy and uncontrollable desire. He waits in the rain “mil horas,” soaked to the bone, only to be dismissed with a cold “ya no te quiero.” The song turns that moment of rejection into an anthem, mixing raw heartbreak with irony and street-wise humor.

Behind the catchy chorus lies a bittersweet commentary on broken ideals. The beloved is “tan fría… tan blanca,” an icy figure who has climbed the circus spotlight as a “estrella roja” living in her own imagined world. Her indifference mirrors a society numbed by spectacle and conflict. “Mil Horas” channels the frustration of giving everything—time, passion, hope—only to confront apathy. Yet the pounding beat and sing-along hook transform personal pain into collective catharsis, inviting listeners to shout, dance, and heal together.
