Aterciopelados, whose name translates as "The Velvety Ones," was formed by former members of Delia Y Los Aminoacidos -- Andrea Echeverri, who plays acoustic guitar and sings lead, and Héctor Buitrago, who plays bass guitar. The original drummer Andres Giraldo* was replaced by Alejandro Duque in 1995 and the original guitar player Charlie Marquez was replaced by Alejandro Gomez Caceras in 1997. Also, lead singer Andrea Echeverri was chosen by Gustavo Cerati to sing "En la Ciudad de la Furia" for Soda Stereo's MTV Unplugged album.
Andrés Giraldo was also part of the Bogotá based band Bloque de Busqueda, known for their mix of artisan / folkloric music with a modern twist full of prominent beats.
Echeverri came out with a self-titled solo album in 2004, "Aemeo" is the lead song in this album.
The band recieved Grammy award nominations in 1997 and 1998.
In October of 2006 they released the album Oye, just a couple of months after Héctor Buitrago came out with his Conhector first solo album.

Aterciopelados Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si te vas me convierto en hielo
Why aunque el amor ya no perdure
Anestesiémonos mientras dura
Dispárate una de amores
Aunque me causes mil dolores
Deléitame con tus ojitos
Susúrrame bien suavecito
Sacúdeme el esqueleto
Devórame siete veces
Sacúdeme el esqueleto
No futuro
No futuro
No futuro
No futuro
Pon en jaque mi juego
No dejes que se apague el fuego
Why esque no hay mal que por bien no venga
Seré feliz cuando no te tenga
Desayúnaremos juntos
O quizá caeremos muertos
Why aunque yo en vos ya no confío
Hoy serás mío why solo mío
Devórame siete veces
Sacúdeme el esqueleto
Devórame siete veces
Sacúdeme el esqueleto
No futuro
No futuro
No futuro
No futuro
The song "No Futuro" by Aterciopelados is a song about the temporary nature of love and relationships. The singer acknowledges that the flesh is weak and that they will become cold if their lover leaves. Despite knowing that love will not last forever, they suggest that they should enjoy it while they can and numb themselves to the pain of its eventual end. The lyrics express a desire for physical pleasure with the partner, even though it may bring emotional pain. The repeated phrase "No futuro" translates to "no future" and reinforces the idea of the temporary nature of the relationship.
The lyrics also suggest a power dynamic within the relationship, with the singer inviting their partner to challenge them and not allowing the passion to fade away. They also admit to feeling happier when they are not with their partner, indicating that the relationship may not be entirely fulfilling. The line "Devórame siete veces" translates to "devour me seven times" in English and is repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the raw physicality and intensity of the relationship.
Overall, the song presents a complex and conflicting view of love, acknowledging its temporary nature while also celebrating its physical pleasures.
