After 2 albums of underground transgressive rock, the band started mixing it with Latin American rhythms such a cumbia, chacarera, candombe and cuartetazo. The lyrics, though, remained acid and critical of political and social problems.
The current line-up is: Gustavo Cordera (voice), Juan Subirá (keyboards and voice), Carlos Martín (drums), Oscar Righi (guitar), "Pepe" Céspedes (bass guitar and voice), Daniel Suárez (voice), Alberto Verenzuela (guitar), and "Cóndor" Sbarbatti (voice and charango); previous members include Charly Bianco (guitar and voice) and Rubén Sadrinas (voice).
Honoring the psychiatric hospital José Tiburcio Borda in Buenos Aires, La Bersuit performs dressed in characteristic pajamas; even though the story of Cordera spending some time in that institution is a mere urban legend, the band has an affinity with everything related to madness and marginalization.
Besides the big success, first in the Buenos Aires' underground movement and then in all the country, Bersuit Vergarabat harvested fans from many countries in South America as well as in Spain.

Bersuit Vergarabat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nuestra relación fue afirmativa desde el dolor
Seguramente de encontrarás
Cuerpo a tierra con otro
Parado al pie de la cama en posición de descanso
Me siento como un tagarna paso
Las horas mirando tu marmita
Cuando te vas de franco voy de la cama
A los cofres, recuerdo aquella
Imaginaria aquel baile en los banos
Defenderé nuestra posición tu bola
Razante de fuego
Tu erguida balloneta atacando por la retaguardia
Siempre te obedeceré
Carrera para hacia vos, buscando
Petróleo en tu corazón, viva la Patria
Retumbaban tus pasos desfilando en la plaza mayor
Te cuadraste frente al
Presi tan lindo, por ese dragoniante puto
Que nos delato, cambiaron nuetros
Destinos , pero jamás darán de baja nuestro amor
Siempre te obedeceré
Carrera para hacia vos, buscando
Petróleo en tu corazón, viva la Patria
The lyrics of Bersuit Vergarabat's song Bolero Militar are complex and open to interpretation. The song tells a story of a soldier's love for their commander, and their obedience to their orders, despite the pain and difficulty that comes with it. The opening lines, "Nuestra relación fue afirmativa desde el dolor" (Our relationship was affirmed through pain) suggest that the soldier's love for their commander developed in a difficult and complicated situation, but it has become a defining part of their lives.
The lyrics then describe the soldier's loyalty, "Siempre te obedeceré" (I will always obey you), and their dedication to protecting their commander and their country, "Petróleo en tu corazón, viva la Patria" (Oil in your heart, long live the homeland). The soldier will defend their position and attack the enemy, sacrificing their own life if necessary. The lyrics take on a surreal quality when the soldier imagines a dance with their commander in the bathroom, adding an element of fantasy to the story.
The final lines, "cambiaron nuestros destinos, pero jamás darán de baja nuestro amor" (our destinies may have changed, but they will never dishonor our love) suggest that the soldier's love for their commander is unbreakable, even if their paths diverge. Overall, the lyrics of Bolero Militar explore themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice in a militaristic context.
