In March 1987 they released Soy una arveja, an album which unlike their previous record featured dark, humorous and satirical lyrics based around characters from the city of Tajo, a fictional city (an inside-joke between the members). This would also be their first album to feature the drummer Álvaro Pintos.
They would later release Emilio Garcia in 1988 and Canciones del Corazon in 1991. However, in 1994 with the release of Otra navidad en las trincheras the band unexpectedly gained massive popularity in Uruguay and stopped being a cult band. This caused Otra navidad en las trincheras to become the #1 best selling album in the country for a long time.
After the success of their previous album they released Barranca Abajo, a concept album revolving around the life of a fictional character named José Barrancas created by the band. The next year El tren bala was released and generated controversy throughout the country due to the Ministry of Education and Culture's attempts to ban the album over the song "El dia que Artigas se emborracho" which made fun of uruguayan national hero José Gervasio Artigas. However, this only expanded the group's popularity. Afterwards Revista ¡¡Ésta!! was released in 1998.
Riki Musso temporarily left the band in 2000 before the release of Cortamambo due to differences with their label and bandmates about the album cover. However, his brother convinced him to stay. Their 2004 self-titled album was the first to feature Juan Campodonico who would later produce all of their post-Cortamambo discography including Raro, a power pop album which made the band well known in other countries, allowing them to tour through South America. Riki would leave the band a second time due to musical differences with Bipolar being his last contribution to El Cuarteto de Nos.
Gustavo Antuña replaced guitarist Riki Musso in 2010 and joined the band alongside keyboardist Santiago Marrero. The first album to feature them both was the more pop rock influenced Porfiado which won two latin grammy awards.
Me Amo
El Cuarteto De Nos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De hombre tan perfecto
Yo soy lo más grande que hay
Ni de sabios ni de viejos
Acepto consejos
Mi único rival es el espejo
A la luna me gustaría ir
Me amo, como la tierra la sol
Me amo, como Narciso soy
Me amo, dibujé un corazón que dice "yo y yo"
Me amo
Tengo tantas chicas
Hermosas y ricas
Pero ninguna es digna de mí
Por eso no ando dejando corazones rotos
Me masturbo mirando mi foto
Y aunque yo no creo en ningún dios
Rezo para que no haya reencarnación
Me amo, como la tierra la sol
Me amo, como Narciso soy
Me amo, dibujé un corazón que dice "yo y yo"
Me amo
Yo me llevo solo bien conmigo
Yo del mundo soy el ombligo
De mi vida yo hablo mucho
Y cuando me hablan yo nunca escucho
Y soy de mi propia secta
Soy mi pareja perfecta
Y sí, yo soy así
Por eso brindo por mí
Me amo, como la tierra la sol
Me amo, como Narciso soy
Me amo, dibujé un corazón
Me amo
Me amo
Me amo
Me amo
The song "Me amo" by El Cuarteto De Nos is a satirical take on narcissism and self-love. In the song, the singer is completely in love with himself, describing himself as the perfect man who does not need anyone's advice or guidance. He is so enamored with his own image that he masturbates while looking at his own photo. Even though he claims to have many beautiful and rich women chasing him, he believes that he is too good for all of them.
The lyric "Mi único rival es el espejo" (My only rival is the mirror) captures the essence of the song, as the singer sees himself as his own competition. He is so self-absorbed that he wishes to go to the moon just to see how the world would be like without him in it. The song's chorus "Me amo, como la tierra al sol" (I love myself, like the earth loves the sun) is an ironic and exaggerated expression of self-love.
The song is a critique on our society where self-love and self-obsession have become all-encompassing. It is a humorous take on how people can become so consumed with themselves that they forget that anything or anyone else exists. The song reminds us that the pursuit of self-love should be balanced with humility and empathy towards others.
