The following year the band got a nomination for Best New Band in the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America as they were releasing their second album, Morder.
The band has proven to be comfortable with an ample set of musical genres, having successfully composed ballads, power rock tunes and pop-oriented music.
In 2006, they released their 3rd album, Abrázame. Their 4rd one, Delicada Violencia, hits the stores in 2008.
Their most recent albums, Fortaleza and Mar de Nubes, were released in 2010 and 2014, respectively.
Abrázame
De Saloon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
lo que quieras tu puedo ser
o desaparecer
dejar de pensar si la
sangre correrá igual
después de ti (uuuh…)
abrázame te extraño en las noches
miró hacia a mi,
dijo todo lo que hay que decir
dejo de mentir,
cortó mi piel
con caricias que nunca olvidé
no se perder
por ti por mí,
juntos somos como el sol
aun sigo aquí…
abrázame te extraño en las noches
dime porque aún te escucho correr
abrázame te extraño en las noches
dime porque aún te escucho alejarte de mi
parararam…/x6
por ti por mí
como detengo este dolor
si aun sigo aquí
abrázame te extraño en las noches
dime porque aún te escucho correr
abrázme te extraño en las noches
dime porque aún te escucho alejarte de mi
parararam…/x6
abrázame./x4.
