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.
Nuestra Realidad
El Tri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cada dia aumenta mas la deuda y la inflacion
por mas que uno quiera nada se puede arreglar
esa es la verdad
La carcel esta llena de gente inocente
y hay miles de hampones que trabajan de agentes
aunque uno quisiera nada se puede arreglar
esa es la verdad
Ya las telenovelos hoy son un juego de ni帽os
mejor que nos platiquen tus padrinos
hasta ernesto alonso se apantallo
con la vida real en vivo y a todo color
Que diria Benito Juarez si viviera hoy
no existe el derecho ni hay justicia social
por mas que el quisiera nada se podria arreglar
esa es la verdad
Que nadie te diga lo que debes hacer
tu se lo que tu quieras ser
todo el mundo llega a donde quiere llegar
si le echa ganas y se aferra a su ideal
Pero hay muchos problemas que no tienen solucion
cada dia aumenta mucho mas la corrupcion
porque mas que uno quiera nada se puede arreglar
esa es la verdad
The lyrics of El Tri's song Nuestra Realidad describe the harsh reality that many people face in Mexico.

The first verse establishes that there are many problems in society that have no solution, and that inflation and debt are only increasing. The second verse mentions the overcrowding of prisons with innocent people, and the presence of criminals who are working as agents. The third verse suggests that television shows have lost their value, and that even famous actors like Ernesto Alonso could not keep up with the reality of live events. The fourth verse references Benito Juarez, who would be disappointed if he were alive to see the current state of justice and social equality. Lastly, the chorus echoes the sentiment that there are many problems that cannot be solved, and that corruption is only getting worse.
Overall, the lyrics of Nuestra Realidad paint a bleak picture of the reality that many people face in Mexico. Although the song acknowledges that there are many problems that cannot be fixed, it also suggests that people should not give up and should continue to strive for their dreams and ideals.
