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 ↴
Con bolas de fraile salgo a cazar
Mucha grasa de chancho
Corre en mis venas, energía bestial
A pesar de que quieras
Lavar tu perfume original
Tengo olfato sensible
Te descubriré
Te encontraré
Te seduciré
Te empotraré
Mis redes perfectas
Invisibles te van a atrapar
Y un tejido de baba
Crosta ácida, te encapullará
Palabras anzuelo
Atraerán tu parecer
Lo más grosero para esta noche
Es no poder coger
Te irritaré
Te socavaré
Te babosearé
Te atormentaré
Y no tengo la culpa de
Que todavía pienses que el amor
Lleva trámites absurdos
De frívola seducción
El romanticismo
Es la misma flor con la que te velarán
Querés que siga hablando
O sácate la ropa ¡ya
Que te oleré
Te chuparé
Te lameré
Y te comeré
Y el rebaño de gente
Que todavía piensa como vos
No merece la más mínima consideración.
Y no tengo asco a lamer
Tu repugnante moral
Nadie hasta ahora estuvo tan cerca
De hacerte el amor
Coger no es amor, ¡es mucho mejor
Coger no es amor, ¡es mucho mejor
Coger no es amor, ¡es mucho mejor
Coger no es amor, ¡es mucho mejor
Mucho mejor, mucho mejor
Mucho mejor, pero, ¡mucho mejor
Mucho mejor, mucho mejor
Mucho mejor, coger es, ¡mucho mejor
The lyrics to the song, "Coger no es amor" by Bersuit Vergarabat, are about a man's aggressive pursuit of a woman. The song is sung from the perspective of a man who is going out for the night hunting for women. He describes himself as having a lot of energy and being sensitive to the smell of a woman's genitalia. The lyrics are graphic and describe his desire to seduce, dominate, and degrade women.
The man in the song uses tactics like attractive language, invisible nets, and pheromones to capture his prey. He describes his actions as aggressive and cruel, using words like "irritate", "torment", and "babble" to describe how he will treat his partner. He doesn't care if the woman he is chasing thinks that love is about "frivolous seduction" because he believes that sex is much better than love.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Coger no es amor, es mucho mejor" which means "Sex is not love, it's much better". The song makes a clear distinction between sex and love, and suggests that sex is a superior mode of connection between people.
