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.
Pamela
El Tri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mas allà del cielo azul
Existiò un bello lugar
A donde los niños van cuando mueren
Cuando dejan de existir
Esta es la historia de una niña
Que tiene tiempo ya en ese lugar
De sus vicios, sus locuras y su desesperación
Pamela, era una niña de solo 2 años
Pamela, ella tenia ganas de vivir, pero
Su propia madre le quito la vida
Su propia madre la asesino
Su padre llora por ella en la carcel
Pues nunca la volverà a ver jamas!
Que culpa tienen los niños
De las broncas de sus padres
De sus deudas, de sus traumas
De sus vicios, sus locuras
Y su desesperación
Pamela era una niña de solo 2 años
Pamela ella tenia derecho a vivir pero
Su padre llora por ella en silencio
Tras de las rejas de su celda
Y desesperado el quisiera matarse
Pues en el cielo la quiere alcanzar
Pamela era una niña de solo 2 años
Pamela ella tenia ganas de vivir pero
Su propia madre le quito la vida
Su propia madre la asesino
Su padre llora por ella en la cárcel
Pues nunca la volverá a ver
No ya nunca la volverá a ver
El ya nunca la volverá a ver
Jamas
The lyrics to El Tri's song Pamela describe a beautiful place beyond good and evil, beyond the blue sky, where children go when they die, a place where they cease to exist. The song tells the story of a two-year-old girl named Pamela who is already in that place because of her own mother's vices, craziness, and desperation. Pamela had the desire to live, but her own mother took her life away. The girl's father is in jail mourning his daughter, and he will never see her again. The chorus questions the cruelty of blaming children for their parents' struggles, their debts, traumas, vices, craziness, and desperation, and the fact that Pamela had the right to live, but her mother took that away from her.
The song Pamela talks about a controversial topic, which is infanticide, specifically matricide. The song portrays a mother who kills her own child, highlighting the disregard for life and the mental and emotional state of the mother. It also discusses the consequences for the father and his silent pain.
El Tri's song Pamela was released in 1995 under the album "Fin de Siglo." The song was written by Alejandro Lora and Fernando Rivera Calderón. The song was a commercial success for the band and sparked social and cultural debates over the impact of drug use on families and children.
