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.
Violencia Droga Y Sexo
El Tri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En un estudio de televisión
Le gustaban las pistolas y los rifles de cañon
Para ella ver los intocables era el máximo reventón
No se perdía los intocables ni aunque la invitaras a un reventon
Ella me dijo
Si le cambias a tus rolas yo te voy a danzar
Hasta llegar a las estrellas y en el cielo vas a tocar
Vas a tener mas audiencia que el club del hogar
Violencia, drogas y sexo
Es como el rocanrol
Violencia, drogas y sexo
Es el camino del gol
Ella me dijo
Ami me pasa ponda
Pero a la demás gente no
Y el mas picudo
Es lechero de la tele
Y hace de inos
Si quieres cantar esas rolas pero no las cantes en español
Cántale tus rolas pero no las cantes en español
Violence, drugs and sex
Just like rock and roll
Violence, drugs and sex
Es el camino del gol
Violencia, drogas y sexo
Es como el rocanrol
Violencia, drogas y sexo
Es el camino del gol
Gol
Gol gol gol gol gol
Gol
The lyrics of "Violencia Drogas Sexo" by El TRI; Three Souls in My Mind talk about an encounter with a producer in a television studio who has a fascination for guns and rifles. The producer offers the singer to dance to his music on her show if he agrees to swap the lyrics of his songs for something more violent, drug-related, and sexual. The lyrics emphasize the connection between violence, drugs, and sex with rock and roll, describing them as the way to success. Later, the producer warns the singer not to sing such songs in Spanish if he wants to be successful.
The song "Violencia Drogas Sexo" was typical of the Mexican rock movement in the 1970s, which was mainly characterized by an antipathy towards commercial pop music and a counter-cultural emphasis on individual freedoms. However, the song's lyrics received a mixed response from different segments of the population. Conservatives criticized it for promoting illicit activities and for its excessive emphasis on sex and violence, while some members of the audience perceived it as an accurate reflection of the youth culture of the time.
