Terroristas
Desorden Público Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y van a apoderarse del pais
Bombas y atentados en la embajada
La población, muy alarmada
El presidente esta asustado
Estallaron los automercados
La policia no hace nada
Hay uno a tu lado
Los terroristas ya estan aqui
Y van a apoderarse del pais
Los terroristas ya estan aqui
Y van a apoderarse del pais
El terrorismo, siempre lo mismo
Daños y muerte a gente inocente
Gritos y humo, nadie vio nada
Mejor nos quedamos bajo la cama
A todo han causado daño
Hay explosivos hasta en los baños
La policia no hace nada
Cuidado...!
Hay uno a tu lado
Los terroristas ya estan aqui
Y van a apoderarse del pais
Los terroristas ya estan aqui
Y van a apoderarse del pais
Los terroristas ya estan aqui
Y van a apoderarse del pais
Los terroristas ya estan aqui
Se han apoderado del pais
Desorden Publico's song "Terroristas" depicts a world where terrorism has taken over and the government is powerless to stop it. In the song, the terrorists have already infiltrated the country, causing chaos with bombings and attacks on the embassy. The population is described as being alarmed while the president is afraid, with the police unable or unwilling to do anything.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Los terroristas ya estan aqui" (The terrorists are already here) over and over, emphasizing the dire situation. The verses describe the devastation caused by the terrorists, including explosions in supermarkets and bombs hidden in bathrooms. The song's message seems to be a warning about the dangers of terrorism and the importance of vigilance against it.
One interesting point about this song is that it was released in 1994, well before the 9/11 attacks in the United States that brought the issue of terrorism to the forefront of global consciousness. Despite this, the song's message of caution and the damage that terrorism can cause is still relevant today.
Another interesting point about "Terroristas" is that Desorden Publico is a ska band from Venezuela, a country not typically associated with terrorist threats. This suggests that the song's message was meant to be universal and not specifically aimed at Venezuela or any one country.
