The group started in 1987 singing in bars and private locals. After doing a pair of adjustments in the formation of the group they recorded two albums with the label Barrabas. They were themselves doing acquaintances playing in Madrid, until in the year 1995 they break with the seal Barrabás and they decide to start their own production business BKT.

Boikot Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ahora que vamos despacio
Ahora que vamos despacio
Vamos a contar mentiras tralará
Vamos a contar verdades tralará
Vamos a contar tu vida
Ya no roban al obrero
Ya no hay paro, ya no hay clero
Ya no existe el desalojo

Ningún insumiso preso
Vamos a contar mentiras

Ahora que vamos borrachos
Ahora que vamos pendejos
Vamos a contar verdades tralará (bis)
Si la guerra es injusta
Si la paz no existe nunca
Nos veremos en Croacia tralará
Nos veremos en Chiapas
Nos veremos en tu casa

En la puerta de tu casa
O en el fondo de tu alma
Tu no viste ningún crimen tralará
No escuchaste ningún grito tralará
Gritaré siempre tu nombre

En el parque de mi barrio
He pillado medio gramo
A un madero de Paisano tralará
A un madero de Paisano tralará
Vamos a contar verdades

Y DICE USTED QUE FRANCO HA MUERTO

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Boikot's song "Mentiras" are a satirical commentary on the current state of society and the lies that people tell themselves and each other. The opening lines, "Ahora que vamos despacio" ("Now that we're going slowly"), suggest that in times of calm and contemplation, people are more likely to engage in dishonesty. The repeated phrase "Vamos a contar mentiras tralará" ("Let's tell lies tralara") underscores the theme of untruthfulness.

The lyrics then pivot to a series of absurdist statements that highlight the ways in which the world is far from perfect. The lines "Ya no roban al obrero" ("They don't steal from the worker anymore") and "Ya no hay paro, ya no hay clero" ("There's no unemployment or clergy anymore") are sarcastic nods to the ongoing issues of economic inequality and the power of organized religion. When the singer declares "Vamos a contar verdades" ("Let's tell the truth"), the song takes on a slightly more serious tone as the lyrics turn to themes of war, injustice, and oppression.
