Among their greatest hits -after their Three Souls era- "Triste Cancion" (based on Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane"), "Metro Balderas" (originally by Rodrigo Gonzalez), and "Piedras Rodantes" are probably the most known and have the quality of Anthems. Favorite bluesy songs such as "Oye Cantinero" and "ADO" belong to their Three Souls era, but are included in compilations and newer versions (from live concert recordings) abound.

El Tri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En la terminal del A.D.O.
Estoy esperando mi camión
En la terminal del A.D.O.
Quiero que me lleve muy lejos
Y a la chingada de aquí.
No me he podido consolar
No me he podido consolar
Desde que mi novia me dejó.
No me consuelan las chaquetas,
Ni las pastas ni el alcohol.
Yo la traté como a una reina
Le dí todo lo mejor
Le dí todo mi dinero
Y le dí todo mi amor
Y sin embargo,
Ella me abandonó.
Estoy esperando mi camión
En la terminal del A.D.O.
No me he podido consolar
Desde que mi novia me dejó,
No me he podido consolar
Desde que mi novia me dejó
No me consuela ni la mota
Ni las pastas ni el alcohol.
Yo la traté como a una reina
Le dí todo lo mejor
Le di todo mi dinero
Y le dí todo mi amor
Y sin embargo,
Ella me abandonó.
Estoy esperando mi camión
En la terminal del A.D.O.
Estoy esperando mi camión
En la terminal del A.D.O.
Quiero que me lleve muy lejos
Y a la chingada de aquí.
The lyrics of El Tri’s song A.D.O. narrate the story of a heartbroken man waiting for his bus at the A.D.O. terminal. He’s unable to console himself since his girlfriend left him and nothing seems to work - not jackets, not drugs, not alcohol. The man gave his all to his girlfriend, treated her like a queen, gave her his money and love, yet she still abandoned him. The song is about the man’s desire to leave everything behind and start again. He wants to go far away from where he currently is, and forget about his heartbreak.
The lyrics refer to the A.D.O. terminal, which stands for “Autobuses de Oriente” and is a bus transportation company that primarily services southern Mexico. The location of the terminal, where the singer is waiting for his bus, is not mentioned, but it’s clear that it represents a turning point or a moment of change for him. The song’s message is universal - it’s about the search for something better, the desire to start anew, and the frustration when things don't work out.
Overall, A.D.O. is a song that can be interpreted in many ways, but ultimately it’s about the feeling of being stuck and wanting to move on.
