Cabas released his self-titled album, "Cabas", in 2000, which he hoped to be popular and joyful. It became a huge success in Colombia, where his single Mi Bombón (My Lollipop) lead the charts of radio stations for three consecutive months, earning him a Gold Disc and a double Platinum disc. To boost his success, Cabas begins a tour around Colombia, and reaches out to Venezuela and Ecuador, where he became highly popular among both the young and the old, because of the eclectic mixture of cumbia and rock in his songs. His playful and warm personality can be seen during his performances.
In 2002, Cabas began to promote his music in Latin America and the United States, receiving good reviews and even a feature article in the Billboard magazine. Cabas has shared his stage with stars such as Lenny Kravitz in Mexico, and Shakira and Miguel Bosé in Spain.
In 2003, his second album Contacto (Contact), redefined his style. Contacto mixed percussion and drums with bass and rock beats, and his first single, La Caderona (The Big-hipped Woman) recalled Mi Bombón's success. Cabas' first music video, from the song Leche (Milk), premiered around this time on MTV Latin America. Other singles such as Bolita de Trapo (Little Ball of Rags) also led the charts in Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador. Cabas has recently been promoting his music in France.
His participation in a tribute concert to the legendary musician Carlos Santana increased his exposure. Cabas won the Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist, the MTV Latin Awards for Best Rock Album and Best Rock Interpretation, and the People's Price and Best Rock Video in the Lo Nuestro Awards.
On 2005, Cabas released his third album, Puro Cabas (Pure Cabas), which proved to be yet another huge success. Cabas' first single, La Cadena de Oro (The Gold Locket), was a major hit in Latin America, along with its music video that stayed MTV's top ten for quite a while. This hit was followed immediately by his second single, Increíble (Incredible).
Declaración Del Bizco
Cabas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
es que estoy bizco,
que veo la luna doble, mama.
O es que estoy listo,
listo pa' enamorarme de ti.
Ya estoy bizco,
que veo tus piernas largas largas,
largas y listas,
Mama,
es que estoy bizco,
que veo la luna doble mama,
o es que estoy listo,
listo para aprender a querer,
este ritmo,
que tiene las piernas largas largas,
largas y listas,
listas pa' enamorarse.
Sólo puedo ir hacia a ti
todo es borroso a tu aldrededor,
tu amor me ha dejado bizco
y esta es mi declaración...
Veo doble de lo lindo,
cuando estás conmigo.
Veo doble de lo lindo,
cuando estoy contigo.
(bis)
Sólo puedo ir hacia a ti
todo es borroso a tu aldrededor,
y veo esa pierna larga
y es que grita baila, mamita...
Doble de lo lindo...(bis)
¡ESO!
Doble de lo lindo,
cuando estás conmigo,
veo doble de lo lindo,
cuando estoy contigo.
Veo doble de lo lindo,
cuando estás conmigo,
veo doble de lo lindo,
cuando estoy contigo. (bis 3x)
The song "Declaración Del Bizco" by Cabas is a fun, upbeat love song told from the perspective of a man who is "bizco", or cross-eyed. He exclaims to his mother that he can see the moon double, but he's also ready to fall in love with a woman, specifically the one he's singing to. He describes her long legs that are ready to dance, and he's eager to learn to love this rhythm that she embodies. The chorus repeats the phrase "Veo doble de lo lindo" which means "I see double so beautifully" when he is with her.
The lyrics describe how the woman has left him cross-eyed, seeing everything in duplicates or blurred, making him dizzy and unable to focus on anything else except her. He admits that he can only move towards her, can only see clearly when he's with her, and can't resist her dancing legs. Despite the humorous nature of the song, there's a sense of urgency and sincerity in his declaration of love, making it clear that despite his cross-eyed condition, he's deeply infatuated with this woman and ready to fall head over heels.
