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 ↴
de una imposible perfección,
carga una luz milenaria
que no se aguanta.
La divina sabe la receta,
para un amor bien animal,
he invita a beber a los hombres,
cuando está llena.
Esta luna es una loca alegre
y me sonríe solo a mí,
siento una extraña cosquilla
en el medio del pecho,
y mi alma se muere de ganas,
de este cuerpito abandonar,
en una feroz implosión,
que puede resultar
despiadadamente vital,
porque yo siempre,
fui un lunático total.
Mirá, mirá, mirá, que luna hermosa,
mirá, mirá, me da, como una cosa.
Pero mirá, mirá, mirá, que luna hermosa,
tan escandalosa y, yo solito acá.
Esta luna es una loca alegre
y se arregla para salir,
se viste con ropa plateada y me desea.
Me ilumina toda la noche,
con su enorme seguidor,
porque soy el actor preferido,
en su novela.
Esta luna sabe los secretos
que mi memoria ya olvido,
es como un monstruo sagrado y primitivo.
Debo violar sus secretos,
para robarle algo de luz,
en una feroz implosión,
que puede resultar
despiadadamente vital,
porque yo siempre,
fui un lunático total.
Mirá, mirá, mirá, que luna hermosa,
mirá, mirá, me da, como una cosa.
Pero mirá, mirá, mirá, que luna hermosa,
tan escandalosa y, me vino a buscar.
Mirá, mirá, mirá, que luna hermosa,
pero mirá, mirá, me da, como una cosa.
Y mirá, mirá, mirá, que luna hermosa,
tan escandalosa y, me vino a buscar (si),
me vino a buscar,
yo solito acá.
Ja... no se puede más!
(que luna hermosa mirá, mirá...
The lyrics to "Luna Hermosa" by Bersuit Vergarabat speak about the beauty and power of the moon. The first verse describes the impossibility of the moon's perfection, yet acknowledges the millennial light it carries. The second verse talks about the personal relationship the singer has with the moon, describing it as a joyful and playful companion that smiles only to him. He feels a strange feeling in his chest and his soul longs to abandon his body in a fierce implosion that could be vital but also mercilessly unforgiving. The chorus repeats the phrase "Mirá, mirá, mirá, que luna hermosa" (look, look, look at that beautiful moon), emphasizing the singer's fascination with the moon's beauty.
The third verse describes the moon as a joyful, beautiful and glamorous creature that gets dolled up to go out and seeks the singer's company. The moon illuminates his night with its follower and makes him feel like the main actor in her story. The final verse talks about the moon's sacred and primitive secrets that the singer desires to steal a little bit of its light from, even if it means undergoing a fierce implosion. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that he cannot resist the moon's beauty anymore.
