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.
Nostalgia
El Tri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De fin de siglo
Y se vuelven a oír las rolas
De los beatles
De elvis
De yanis
De jendrix
De morrison
Y es que es la nostalgia
De fin de siglo
Y todo el mundo quisiera el tiempo poder regresar
Y revivir los recuerdos
Y los buenos tiempos
Porque recordar es vivir
Y todos queremos vivir mas
Es la nostalgia
De fin de siglo
Se vuelve a poner de moda la ideología
Del che guevara
Y todos quieren ser rebeldes
Y contestar
Anarquistas
Y revolucionarios
Es la nostalgia
De fin de siglo
Y los hijos se rebelan contra los padres
Como los padres lo hicieron con los abuelos
Con la misma actitud
Las mismas fachas
Las mismas causas
Y hasta la misma música
In El Tri's "Nostalgia," the lyrics speak of a yearning for a time passed, a nostalgia for the end of the century. As the song begins, we hear about the music of The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Morrison, and John Lennon being played again, as if to bring back the past. The idea of nostalgia is then repeated throughout the chorus, as the lyrics describe how everyone would like to go back in time and relive the happy memories of the past. The past is something we can never return to, but the desire to feel nostalgic is still there.
As the song progresses, we hear about the rebirth of the ideologies of Che Guevara and the rise of anarchism and revolutionaries. The desire for rebellion against authority figures is also present in the lyrics, with parents being rebelled against in the same way that grandparents were rebelled against in the past. El Tri captures the feeling of change in the air, the idea that the world is shifting and that times are different, but at the same time, there is a nostalgia for the ways things used to be. The desire for nostalgia is strong, but ultimately the past cannot be returned to, and life must be lived in the present.
Overall, "Nostalgia" is a song about the feeling of wanting to go back in time and relive the memories of the past. It speaks to the universal human experience of wanting to hold on to the good times and feelings of nostalgia. The lyrics touch on the idea of change and how the world is constantly evolving, while also acknowledging that sometimes we just want to go back to simpler times.
